It is World Teachers’ Day. The theme this year is advancing the teaching profession through empowerment, support, and collaboration. A theme Alberta has forgotten #redfored

There's a photo of a young boy circulating on #UCP social media accounts. The caption on the post says a boy's parents were lost to addiction; got help with treatment & recovery. The mom of the boy in the photo says the caption information is not true. #Propaganda #AbPoli www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

@naheednenshi.bsky.social and the Alberta NDP get your act together. Your messaging needs to be much, much better.

#Photography #Birds #BaldEagle #Bears #Fish #Salmon #VictoriaQuay #PortAlberni #VancouverIsland Visited Victoria Quay last evening and came away with two keepers. A Bald eagle posed nicely in a tree for me and a bear plus cub grab a salmon while a Turkey vulture arrives on scene hoping for scraps

For someone who is forever telling others to say in their lane Ms. Smith does an awful lot of lane wandering.

Important information to counter the constant stream of disinformation from Danielle Smith and the UCP.

Danielle Smith’s “citizenship ID” isn’t about elections. It’s about division and discrimination. 📰 r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC

#Sunrise #WestCoast #VancouverIsland #Photography #Canada A little peace and beauty in today’s chaotic world. Four different views of this morning’s sunrise in Parksville, British Columbia.

My people will never permit any annexation of lands to anyone. 🪶😡

Absolutely this. Far too many of us these days seem to be only interested it what benefits them.

Please read and repost, it’s important, really important.

Please don’t fall for any of the UCP messages about fiscal prudence and responsibility: they have none

Good morning, #ableg Book banning is fascist. Period. Have a lovely day.

#kakistocracy #government #Alberta Kakistocracy is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people. Does the above remind anyone of who this might be, here in Alberta.

#Hawaii #Maui #Photograph #Haleakala A blast from the past, a place I will never get to see again. Haleakalā depression, Maui, Hawaii 2008 Haleakalā has a massive summit-area depression, which is a large erosional depression, often called a crater, formed by erosion rather than a volcanic explosion.

He looks sick, old, tired and worn out. Still, I can't say I feel sorry for him.

I know this asshole is going to win but I hope it is by the slimmest of margins.

A sad day at our house. Our birch tree one side has died and the other is dying. So today we had someone make it go away. 😢

I found a hood but couldn't see a monk anywhere.

Danielle Smith once again shows how hypocritical she is. No to renewable energy in Alberta but 100% Oil & Gas. However Carney needs to diversify Canada’s economy. SMH www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Let this sink in!

#Flowers #bumblebee #photography #photographer #naturephotography #insectphotography #pollinators #SaveTheBees Incoming and outgoing.

I demand an apology from Danielle Smith just because she's Danielle Smith.

Some would call it incompetence others might call it deliberate.

When life give you lemons make lemonade.

#G7 #Canada #Kananaskis #WorldLeaders #MainstreamMedia #Trump Donald Trump is attending the G7 in Kananaskis, Alberta and he doesn’t even have the common decency to stay overnight in the host country. He’s flying to somewhere in Montana and returning each day.

Really Alberta, REALLY? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Poll suggests Alberta voters' honeymoon with Danielle Smith and UCP endures Results indicate premier's party would cruise to majority now, winning 61 seats

Needless to say the climate deniers and MAGA types will chime in at some point to remind us nothing is changing, it’s all cyclical. weather-fox.com/nasa-confirm...

@lisa1111can.bsky.social I've not seen any other posts about this here people need to see it, perhaps you can boost it.

#Blanchet #Electect2025 #Canada #Quebec Blanchet calls Canada ‘an artificial country with very little meaning’ Interesting he would say this now and not earlier in the campaign when there was opportunity for rebuttal. www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec...

This man is not a politician, he’s an opportunist. He will go whatever way he thinks the political wind is blowing if he believes it will benefit him.
