after a full day volunteering at the school some Baileys fell into my hot chocolate on a cold, snowy afternoon. Frozen pizza for dinner and movies with my kids sounds like a perfect evening.

Big thanks to the OLA for getting the word out about proposed changes to the current budget bill (Bill C-15), that impact the library book rate here in Canada, affecting library systems and patrons country wide. Check out the link and contact you MP with your concerns. bit.ly/SaveInterlib...

BTW, this is a great day to close your Disney+ accounts. Yep, Hulu included. ESPN too. They are ok with feeding you IP AI slop (which is different and much worse than their usual IP slop), so best let them know quickly how you really feel about that.

The province-level Conservative Party (UPC) in Alberta is using the “Notwithstanding Clause” a STAGGERING 4TH TIME IN UNDER 2 MONTHS to ignore the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. In this Alberta Govt, extremist ideology is clearly a lot more important than human rights and the rule of law.

Bill C-15 affects inter-library loans in Canada. Speak up to protect our libraries:

Beloved children’s author Robert Munsch shared more details about his dementia diagnosis in a CBC News interview he said would be his "last hurrah."

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

So Marlaina wasn't in the chambers AGAIN when the Not Withstanding Clause was used for a 4th time last night. #ableg #abpoli

UCP is the party of democracy. That's why we limit debates in order to ram through legislation that serves our own interests. As a bonus, we also get to cut Peter Guthrie from asking damaging questions! Read: edmontonjournal.com/news/politic... #aboli #UCPCorruption #ableg

Imma gonna need someone to explain to me walking around costco with no cart "browsing" at Christmas. Who hurt you?

I love how banks make things impossible to do in person. At least 3 people have been needed to change an account in this branch. And it's been over an hour of my time sitting here with ALL the documents they need.

If you too have a dysfunctional family, Carly Rae Jepsen has the Christmas song for you! #Christmas2025 #SomeFamiliesSuck www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF9S...

Of course they did. #ableg

Oh hey! A podcast on Sam Mraiche and his ties to the Alberta government! Including audio from when I asked Justice Minister Mickey Amery about his relationship to the businessman. www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the... w @tomcardoso.bsky.social

"It was not possible for the government to spend months in additional arbitration, potentially spend billions more, and still end up with additional strikes at local tables for the next four years." #ableg #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

I concluded this weeks ago. They didn't hide it. The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

My dentist today: " Your teeth are healthy and great. Your bite is a bit off, but that's an old issue probably from braces/wisdom teeth way back in the day!" The hygienist "Your teeth suck, your flossing sucks, you suck"

🚨BREAKING!🚨 The NDP revealed yet another real estate deal involving Sam Mraiche and seemed to raise concerns he was might have been given the heads up to buy the building by someone in government! If you watch 2 minutes today, make this it! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Pancholi - Cool you're cancelling the contracts, but Marshall Smith's fingerprints are all over so much of this, including his pressuring to have the new contracts signed! Lagrange - What... what day is this? Where was I? Why won't people talk to me? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

BREAKING: Matt Jones, one of Alberta's health ministers, just said the private surgical facilities for Red Deer and Lethbridge have been cancelled. Those two projects are owned in part by Sam Mraiche.

Never since 1905, when Alberta became a province, was a petition with nearly half a million signatures tabled in the Legislature. Never was a Premier presented with such clear choice between right and wrong. Premier, do the right thing. Avoid a divisive referendum. #ableg

If the Liberals are smart enough to introduce tough & enforced Right to Repair legislation, slap it first on farm equipment & heavily message it to farmers, the hold Conservatives have on Western Canadian riding will be shot to hell. Just sayin’ #canpoli #ableg apple.news/AxQIP5htpQUK...

Just a reminder: You don't HAVE to do something in December if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to do Elf of the Shelf. You don't have to go to you in-laws 5 holiday parties. You don't have to bake 18 types of cookies. You do what makes YOU and your family happy.

WOW! In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man... (former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee) had looked into the corrupt care scandal The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche! #abpoli #ableg

‼️‼️

Fran Lebowitz says the things I say, but better. See: Leaf blowers

...but not in Alberta. Thanks Danielle Smith and all her supporters.

Looks like we’re going to war. I didn’t vote for this, did you?

White House Reclassifies Nursing As Hobby

Tonight's movie night Disney's Sleeping Beauty. 1959. Wins points from kids for the 75 min runtime. It was considered a bomb when it was released. Now an artistic masterpiece!

Wait for it....it's happening next week now that it has been spoken.

From the DM’s… A very reliable source tells us that Danielle Smith with be recalling recall with new legislation early next week. Right after the UCP AGM. Another Smith bait and switch. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“Quiet piggy” “You’re ugly inside and out” “Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” This is how the President speaks to female journalists. The men in the room need to call out his misogyny. Demand better. Don’t let him demean women this way.

My kids are currently watching the Grand Slam of Curling final from a few weeks ago and REALLY getting into it. (we were away when it first aired). I had no idea that they were this into curling as gr 4 and gr 6 kids.

“Albertans who fail to renew their health card on time will lose AHCIP coverage. “Insured services may be declined until coverage is reinstated. Emergency services are still provided, but the patient may be billed if uninsured,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

So it seems that Walmart isn't allowing curbside pick up of packages/orders anymore in #yeg. Instead, Door Dash delivered part of my order tonight. (kids xmas gift) I am 100% willing to drive to a store to pick up my order (porch pirates) and didn't sign on for Door Dash.

Every time I think that family can't sink lower they do. Urgh. 5 more weeks of this trash. Then we go back to them ignoring us/pretending we don't exist.

If you've convinced yourself privatization is the solution, you've never been a Rogers, Bell or Loblaws customer.

The whole story about Karoline Leavitt’s brother is grosser than you think.

As an Albertan, this does not surprise me. Alberta is a crappy place with Marlaina running it. If a bit of cannabis helps you get thru the day knock your socks off Albertans

I am not planning on going to the USA anytime soon but what a way to have tourism flame out! (Booked our summer trip to a Canadian National Park this week as our fav hotel was already booking up!)

ALBERTA: Bill 11 raises healthcare costs for everyone ⚠️. Families pay more out of pocket. Public wait times grow. Doctors move to private clinics. The public system gets weaker. Watch our 3 minute video below on what Bill 11 means for you and why we need to push back. Learn more: notwotier.ca

The oligarchy can still learn new lessons. Apparently tech is now complaining that people are hanging onto their devices too long. (Posted on an iPhone 13.)

I had absolutely nothing to do with the $100+ million DynaLife lab service debacle. Except when I represented them as a lobbyist to the UCP while I was president of the Alberta Enterprise Group which they were members. Read: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art... #abpoli #ableg #UCPCorruption

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Just a reminder heading into the holiday season: Some of us have really sucky extended family. We may love the holiday season but big get togethers will not be happening.
