We will see if the completely undemocratic and misguided blanket rezoning in Calgary is repealed as voters requested. But damage has already been done. calgaryherald.com/opinion/it-f...

What can we do? Here are some ideas. Oh, and sign a recall petition if you can. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/what-can-w...

This is the real drive behind the UCP - the "Undo Canada Party". This is why so many UCP MLAs are being petitioned for recall. If you have a recall petition in your constituency, please sign it.

The potential to remove barbed wire fences? Very cool.

It's sadly time to replay this amazing song by the great Stephen Fearing. Remember the women of Ecole Polytechnique. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjGJ...

Another legend has passed. RIP Steve Cropper. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/a...

Danielle Smith‬⁩ in Question Period is trying hard to misrepresent the nearly half milion Albertans who signed the #ForeverCanadian petition. Premier, do what’s right, not what separatists want. Call for a vote in the Legislature and avoid a divisive referendum. #ableg

The next stage of the Forever Canadian campaign is now underway. If you're not signed up, please do. Also buy some awesome gear. Makes a great Christmas present.... www.forever-canadian.ca

CONGRATULATIONS #ForeverCanadian volunteers! Elections Alberta just informed me that our Forever Canadian petition is approved! Your hard work and love for Canada paid off! Now, the Premier must do the right thing and call for a vote in the Legislature. www.elections.ab.ca/citizen-init...

Why are there 14 UCP MLA recall petitions approved? Because the UCP MLAs are not listening to their constituents. And their party AGM shows just how out of touch they are with the majority of Albertans. If you can, please sign to recall your MLA www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I was lucky enough to have helped Tim with 2 albums. He was demonstrably one of the greatest blues musicians in the world winning the World Blues Challenge for solo guitar. Not just a stunning player, he was a true musicologist and loved to share his love and understanding of the blues. RIP Tim

The Beaverton has won the internet tonight. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

open.spotify.com/episode/2Fwn... We lost a true legend today. here is a chat we had a couple of years back on Hornby Island.

You know what Albertans are saying? "G-Bye! Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Oh, and good riddance." Only Trudeau could stand the man. Glad he's gone. calgaryherald.com/news/breakin...

RIP to sports legend Colleen Jones. Not only a Hall of Fame curling powerhouse and accomplished broadcaster, she was like a global ambassador for both her beloved Nova Scotia and Canada. #FuckCancer

Another home run from Dan

The count is now 8 UCP MLAs facing recall. If only half of them are recalled, the UCP will loose it's majority. calgaryherald.com/news/six-mor...

When reached for comment, Justice Minister Amery stated “AI legislation could be sloppy, amateurish, and might even make shit up, so we are confident it will be indistinguishable from anything else we’ve put into law.”

The sound of The Empathist is influenced by the brilliant multi-instrumentalist and Nashville studio musician, Jim Hoke, who brought his joy and musicality to play on so many instruments and was an essential part of the sessions. If it ain't Hoke, fix it!

Another reminder of why there are so many recalls going on for UCP MLAa. They have ceased to represent the interests of the vast majority of Albertans. operationtotalrecall.ca

If you listen to the entire piece you may be terrified that Trump is president. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OtO...

What the UCP doing greatly concerns me. They are actively NOT listening to their constituents. They are aggressively pursuing policies that they promised they would not, or they are implementing policies that they know ABs don't want. We must recall them. Please participate to save this province

Again, support the recall of your local UCP MLA because the MLAs are not listening to what constituents want for the province.

Support your local UCP MLA recall and stop this government. They do not represent their constituents.

So now we see that, yes, the UCP wants to privatize health care. We need to end this government asap. Support your local UCP MLA recall. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

I do realize that the Canadian Oil Industry are not all wearing white hats and embody perfection, but many are trying to do the right things. Here's one example. boereport.com/2025/11/10/a...

Well snow is falling in Calgary. At least they are +16 on Monday. Still time to get the Christmas lights up before it's too cold. But the dog is getting short walks today. Which is funny because it's only -3 and in a couple of months that will feel balmy. Yup, I'm now officially an old grouch.

The group collecting petition signatures for a citizen's initiative to defund private schools in Alberta seem well organized. They have a website with a professionally shot video that seeks to highlight the disparity between public and private school funding. abfundspublicschools.ca/cgi-bin/publ...

Blue Jays, Dodgers cause mass confusion by dressing up as each other for Halloween world series game

I don't read staff well so I had to go to my piano and see what the notes were. Then I laughed out loud.. :-)

Perhaps AB needs to start a petition (now that the UCP has made them easier to start) to resolve that AB never again uses the notwithstanding clause for ANYTHING. I'm sure that the AFL and the ATA members could provide the 200,000 signatures we'd need...

Well, clearly it's time to start a provincial petition to restrict the provincial government from using the notwithstanding clause. Make it impossible for this and all future AB govts from using the NWS clause in any legislation.

The Lt Gov *can* "exercise the right to deny or "reserve" Royal Assent if the bill violates the constitutional rights of Albertans or infringes upon federal jurisdiction." The BTW legislation for teachers is obviously such a moment when she must do so. lieutenantgovernor.ab.ca/role/lieuten...

The Lady of "Strong and Free" does not believe in our rights or our freedom. I know that health care workers are not keen on coming to AB. Now teachers won't

Doug Ford needs to "stay in his lane". He is not in the Federal government and does not represent anyone outside of Ontario. Frankly the feds should lock the idiot up for interfering in the negotiations but we don't do that in Canada thankfully. But Ontarians must tell him to shut up and stop.

I think it is totally unfair for President Trump to demolish the East Wing. Convention has it that only Canadians can demolish the White House by burning it down. He has zero respect for history...

One of the best writers out there

When asked about the UCP's statement on the last offer by the ATA which said teachers need to expect a deal that is "rooted in reality"... ATA President Jason Schilling held very little back in his response. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed
