"Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I see today that the Government of Canada is discontinuing its VHF weather service, Weatherradio. On its website it says you can just go the app. Seems shortsighted and dangerous, when you consider how much of this country does not have cell reception. www.canada.ca/en/environme...

Please read this, & help promote the push for changes with doctors in Canada - currently due to federal laws, doctors cannot receive pensions, Mary is a wonderful advocate fighting for changes for decades & we all need to work together to help her & other doctors making meaningful change in Canada.

My view from coffee this morning.

There really wasn’t much News about this walk at all. I sometimes think that if it wasn’t for some of us promoting this on social media, it would have been missed. Thank you PBS

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Olena Rohoza💙💛 🇮🇹 The speech that all of Italy heard. And that the world must hear. In a country that will host the Olympic Games, Italian Senator and Vice President of the Human Rights Commission Filippo Sensi took the floor and said what should have been said out loud long ago.

There are very few things ever written that have had an impact on me like this. I tear up just reading it. The first lines are the most well known, but the entire speech is remarkable and speaks to tyranny, cruelty & environmental degradation. I encourage you to read it in the link (it's short)

www.cbc.ca/news/cana... Since many deaths and near-misses were sent to govt - there’s been no acknowledgement of them, or any planned meeting with EM leads. 1/6

Don't do something good expecting rewards. Do it because it's a good thing to do. Peace! #Kindness #Love #Valentine #NoExpectations

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Antonino Zichichi. A pioneer of CERN’s experimental programme in the 1950s and the driving force behind numerous experiments, he was one of the most influential figures in high-energy physics. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

About f--king time. My question is why the media happily ran after every "flooding the zone with shit" play from MAGA Alberta while ignoring the obvious Donbas playbook being used in Alberta. Donbas Danielle is not playing with fire. She's burning our house. www.policymagazine.ca/danielle-smi...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Seems like @brandonsanderson.com & I agree. Really good summary of the current situation. I think most artists who have been making art for any period of time share similar views. Art is the process and how it changes the creator. The creation is more important than the result.

Just like to mention that's there's an enormous spot on the Sun. Might be possible to see it through Eclipse glasses. Don't look at the Sun with no eye protection. 🔭 🧪

Take a look see… Sums up the craziness that is some of CorruptCare nicely.

www.ctvnews.ca/edmon... More Albertans MUST tell their stories! Cancelled due to HCW shortages... TWICE... But the Premier thinks everything is fine. She's getting very bad advice from consultants who don't work on the frontlines or in HC at all... 1/2

People do mean well

Treason doesn't get a free pass. Not on my watch. It's time to shine a light in the dark hole where the quislings hang out. We stand for Canada. True, north, strong, free of interference.

I may be slightly biased as I am a loyal Bruce Springsteen fan, but be sure to give this a listen. It’s just what many of us need right about now. It’s time to take care of each other like never before. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason." BC Premier David Eby not pulling any punches on how he characterizes Alberta's sovereignty leaders meeting with American officials.

Alberta is in a healthcare crisis. Purposely caused by the UCP so they can install private healthcare companies. They do not give af who lives or doesn’t . They don’t care about the morale of hospital staff. So our last resort is to ask our PM to step in.

Finally someone has said it out loud. Treason. Where is the parliamentary investigation into foreign money and support from the US to break up our nation? nationalnewswatch.com/2026/01/29/e...

Isn’t it interesting that Premier Danielle Smith has remained SILENT on health care for so long? While ABs are dying and experiencing prolonged suffering and poor outcomes in ED waiting rooms and hallways, she has nothing to say. 1/2

Haileybury Legion, North Ontario. Robbie Burns Night. My mom had a Dutch boss. As a child he was in a bombed out farm house as the war raged. In the early morning his family heard a strange sound: It was Canadian pipers marching through mist bringing freedom. That is the meaning of the pipes.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alberta, we’re going to be in the Calgary area talking Health Care! Please come out and let’s start a conversation that is critical for all Albertans.

Smith finally said it out loud... She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
