Mountain goats…near Banff

Uh oh. The dreaded polar vortex may be making an appearance very soon

...and before anyone says "we should study the issue" I will remind them our city already has policy called Step Forward with 49 action items, that if fully implemented, would be a rounding error when compared to the more than $1 billion lost from crashes in this city www.calgary.ca/planning/tra...

4 people run down in one single day. There is a war on our streets, and the humans are losing. Meanwhile, no new money is proposed in the upcoming city budget to tackle this issue. Zero leadership from #yyccc. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

On Nov. 21, 1950, two trains collided near Valemount, British Columbia. The crash killed 21 people and sparked a manslaughter trial against a CNR dispatcher. The dispatcher was defended by a lawyer named John Diefenbaker, and this trial changed Canadian history. 🧵 1/12

At what point do we say that Conservatives have given up on Human Rights? This is awful. Trans people deserve respect, not the notwithstanding clause.

While Alberta considers how to allow oilsands companies to release treated wastewater into the Athabasca River, the federal government has yet to table its own law around clean drinking water for First Nations. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oils...

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Weeks ago, South Korea mocked Trump with a replica of the golden Cheonmachong crown, claiming it symbolized “peace.” In reality, the crown came from the Silla Kingdom, whose king was assassinated after a civil war and kingdom destroyed by corruption & rule for the wealthy.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

So anyways… You know how “Last Door” is the UCP’s most favorite recovery group ever? Looks like their former employee who they allegedly tried to cover up for by deleting complaints from victims got sentenced to 3 years for sexual assault. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Pretty crazy Aurora last night!

Did a little doomposting so here's a PELICAN TRIPLE DIVE(!) to make up for it 🪶

San Francisco protestors created a giant sign to support California’s Proposition 50 and to oppose the authoritarian policies of Donald Trump’s regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

This is the biggest single day protest in US history. Millions upon millions of people across the United States reject the Trump regime and fascism. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Amazing! After firing not one, but two, AHS boards and replacing many senior staff with UCP members, we have been able to root out the staff who are standing in the way of our procurement contract and privatization processes. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art... #abhealth #PublicInquiryNOW

@naheednenshi.bsky.social o sure hope you’re going to address what Smith is spewing today. Loudly…you’re way too quiet for most people these days.

Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.
