Whenever I've written about oil and gas property tax arrears in the past, people emailed me asking why I didn't name the companies. The answer is that this information wasn't public and difficult to obtain. With this story we're releasing the tax debts of hundreds of companies /1 zurl.co/O1gMZ

So, so many groups need to ask themselves this on a regular basis

Monica Hughes has several good contenders, but “Invitation to the Game” would be an amazing framework for a series. Sparse in that YA way that gives you a lot of room to flesh it out. Even more topical today than when it was written.

Holy wow, any new @premeemohamed.com pub news is cause for celebration, but this sounds especially fantastic/my jam and it’s a two-book deal, yay, sign me UP.

Apparently this clip is topical! Toronto snow storm, shot in the mid 1940s on 16mm film. It would be really neat to see what the same street looks like right now. Hope everyone is staying warm out there #Film #History #Snow #Toronto

Because in a democracy it is your only way. If the public hates your guts and you’re about to lose an election authoritarianism is your only option to cling to power. That It’s not a stable long-term strategy doesn’t really enter into that calculus

One of the greatest political memes I’ve ever seen. Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere

Every poll of Americans is like: Do you support becoming the vicar of Satan? Oppose: 53% Support: 20% Unsure: 26% Subsequent election: Will you vote for vicar of Satan party? Yes: 45% No: 48%

Any of the candidates who have used AI should withdraw.

After over 2 years, they managed to track down a never used D1 play head and have been able to recover all 4 seasons at pixel accurate quality. What a great story. Big props to @linusmediagroup.com for being part of this.

Let’s encourage more officials engaging here. Please follow these Canadian senators

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

I am deeply not looking forward to what would happen to this site with the influx that would follow

But if you're in the mood for something a little more militant, here's a 1939 victory bond parade from Lethbridge, Alberta. These people were ready to fight! Scanned from 16mm film #Film #History

World sucks. Here's a clip from 1938 of a girl dancing. She's got moves! Scanned from an 8mm film #Film #History

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

BTW. This is the most likely version what a hypothetical invasion of Canada would look like. We’d wake up, the government would be toppled, and we’d all have to make choices about what comes next.

R.E.M. really lied to me about how I’d feel about all this

Merry Christmas everyone

Tis the season for an old Christmas clip. Here's a moment from Christmas in 1938! I love how recognizable everything is, even 87 years later. Scanned from 8mm film Happy holidays! #History #Film #Christmas

Once you’re reality-optional in one part of your thinking, everything is up for grabs. Faced with the choice between having to come back to reality about fluffy woo beliefs, or dive down the full conspiracy rabbit hole, most people will choose to go full lunatic

The divide between how Canadians see the U.S. and how our political/business leaders see them is wild. It’s one of the biggest divides in perspective I have ever seen. Canadians are clear eyed. Our leaders are not.

Started our Christmas background music playlist tonight, and it’s reminding us of when @courtneymilan.com accidentally influenced us to participate in dinosaur crime

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said. She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people." We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

Another clip from 1942 to celebrate some snowfalls this week. Winter isn't all bad on the prairies. Scanned from 16mm film #History #Film

🎶That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight…🎶

Crash! Aftermath of a 1942 accident in Saskatchewan. I'm sure it was the most exciting thing to happen in that area for weeks, and everyone turned out to see. I love the classic RCMP uniform. Scanned from 16mm film #History #Film

Given how many of the players in BvG have gone on to be up to their eyeballs in the corruption of both Trump administrations, anyone doing a “fall of the republic” documentary fifty years from now is absolutely going to stick it as the start of their timeline

It would be funnier if you use an all British cast, but force them to use their “American” accents Hugh Laurie with his accent from “House”. Daniel Craig as the PM talking like Benoit Blanc. Christian Bale doing his Bruce Wayne. Gary Oldman playing three roles with three different American accents

It's the final showdown! Close out the Age of Devotion with a special alt art Paladin board for playing! Bring 3, Ban 1 format. For tickets and more information see boardgames.ca/events #dicethrone #ageofdevotion #organizedplay #op #flgs

Part 2, features some goals and crowd celebration. Cheering in the packed area must have been incredible back then. Scanned from 8mm film #History #Film #Habs #Leafs #NHL

Can't take your camera to the game these days, but at some point in the 1964-65 season a fan took theirs to see the Canadiens play the Maple Leafs. A second clip with goals below! Scanned from 8mm film Can anyone ID the game? #History #Film #Habs #Leafs #NHL

In honor of Halloween, here's what costumes looked like in 1953. I love how they didn't need anything fancy, although I'm not sure the plastic bag masks were a great idea These kids are ready for some trick-or-treating! Hope you are too! Scanned from 8mm film #Film #History #Halloween

Here are some different sorts of felines. Large cat exhibits from the Calgary Zoo in 1957. It's interesting how much standards have changed. The current habitats are such an upgrade! Scanned from 8mm film #Film #History #Calgary

Smith is going to be so mad. I hope her and her separatist friends all choke on it

Oh wow. Organizers of Alberta's 'Forever Canadian' petition say they collected 456,365 signatures.

Every teacher in Alberta needs to descend on Demetrios Nicolaides‘ riding and pound on doors until he’s recalled

Something I love about archival films is that when someone had a couple feet of film left on a roll they'd often use it to film their cat. So many films finish with a few seconds of cats So, here's some cats from the 1950s and 60s. They were loved Scanned from 8mm films #Film #History #Cats

Haven’t seen a Yamamoto attack on an Allied city this successful since [pulled offstage by a giant cane]

Looking at the Edmonton election results and with Cartmell and Nickel both now gone, I’m curious who is going to emerge as the next “them” on council? Is it too much to hope that our upcoming council will actually be mostly functional, with minimal grandstanding?

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

This is why they ban The Diary of Anne Frank.
