The President of the United States posted this, while Denmark's Joint Arctic Command has evacuated a crew member of a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, who then has been transferred ‌to a hospital in Greenland’s capital Nuuk to get treatment.

Current example of reactionary centrism: commentators on the Alberta referendum on immigration focused on the uselessness of the plebiscite, and dismissing the topic of it as irrelevant

This is what illustrates that the White House is a bunch of bullies at the moment - the US protects Canada from who? Protection racket. The most recent, most probable threats are all from the US itself.

One nation has an untouchable head of state whose family is getting rich off cronyism and nepotism. The other is… the United Kingdom where Prince Andrew is under arrest: apple.news/Add4WmVKuSx6...

Calgarians, after a month plus of warm dry weather, being like - “Second winter is coming” with this week’s forecast

Awaken, methane furnace, from your weeks long midwinter slumber - time for the heat pump to take a break (not because of heat pump tech limits but because of my ~2000 building code minimum house build)

Sinners: a super fun watch. If folks had just listened to the Choctaws hunting the bad guy at the start…

No doubt these are sharia marriages ;)

With the opening of ChargeLab (SureCharge network partner, but this isn't a SureCharge site) 4x 180 kW posts in Grassland AB, the Edmonton-Fort McMurray corridor is now an easy EV drive. First time someone other than Tesla has opened up a new corridor in AB - open ahead of Wandering River SC.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Donald Trump’s reaction to PM Carney’s speech couldn’t possibly be better proof of the content of the speech

Sloppy Joe (noun), a method of drowning vegetables in sufficient meat, ketchup and condiments to enable them to pass small children’s throat filters

-laughs nervously in Ukrainian- So er, I don't want to be alarmist my Canadian friends but it's not a GREAT sign when the superpower next door starts talking about how the people of a resource rich region of yours yearn for the freedom to join them and suggesting referendums...

Sad to see BrightDrop vans just started showing up (look for Staples vans downtown especially, big red ones), yes, including in winter, and GM cancelled these made in Canada commercial electric vans.

This may end up being a big boycott campaign.

Alberta’s flu vaccination rates are dangerously low, and our healthcare system is feeling the impact. Getting vaccinated helps protect lives and helps keep the pressure off emergency rooms. It’s not too late: book your flu shot today. youtube.com/shorts/_2rD4...

SCOOP 🧵 The DORS app was supposed to keep people safe while using drugs at home. But in 4 years, it has activated just 51 ambulances. The app isn't used 41% of days. Meanwhile, the AB govt is dismantling the option that works: supervised consumption. 1/ drugdatadecoded.ca/overdose-app...

Oh no. Had a 3 household 6 kid meetup yesterday. Everyone had fun! But now 3 people across 2 households (including ours) have GI symptoms. Wish us luck!

I can’t believe my eyes. The Bondi DOJ is threatening “Trump”ed up charges against the Federal Reserve Chair. Do the billionaires and GOP elites think they will all survive the meltdown that is coming?

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM
