A long standing problem where the UCP supports O&G. 😡 "Albertans risk being on the hook for billions of dollars’ worth of cleanup of the oil sands under current rules that govern security payments for the massive mining operations, according to a new report from the province’s Auditor-General."

Advocacy groups apply to keep court case against Alberta trans laws alive Egale and Skipping Stone say they plan to argue Alberta has effectively developed a criminal law — something outside of its jurisdiction. News from me this afternoon: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/prairies_bc/...

TBT for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 evening. In the early 90's I did a lot of steel work including this sign I made for a gallery in Calgary. Hand torch cut steel letters, heat coloured mesh in a 3D ribbon shape. About 3m x 1m I'd just left 10 years at a sign company to work as an artist & musician

Thanks to everyone posting on #ArtAdventCalendar It's a great mix of interesting work. Check out the hastag Dec 1-24. Enjoy. Anyone is welcome to post, so share your original art (No AI) earthskyart.ca/artadventcal...

#artadventcalendar Day 11. I used Intentional Camera Movement to create an artistic version of these autumn trees.

Thank you, CKUA, for this remembrance of Tim Williams:

Any preferred definitions of good governance? Scraps or fully developed distinctions? I'm interested. Please and Thanks. Justice and Peace.

#ArtAdventCalendar 10 Quilt, 60”x75” Followup to yesterday‘s post. Second memory quilt from my dad’s shirts. This was for my sister. I did not quilt this one, I took it to a pro. Very simple design, came together fairly quickly.

An ode to Odette, our local Astoria swan, seen here on a foggy day last May 🦢 She usually resides further south along the shore, so a visit from her up near the bridges is always a treat. Mute Swan on the East River, May 2025 #birds #ArtAdventCalendar

Day 12 #ArtAdventCalendar #artistsofBlueSky #oilpainting This was a gift for the young man throwing rocks at the lake. We were all waiting for the Canada Day fireworks to start. What a great memory.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10: another mixed media flow art piece, on a 16 inch frame. I poured so much and since it was house paint it took a week to dry! 😅

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 10 evening... It's starting to get quite cold here...not cold enough to make ice bubbles quite yet but here's some from 2017. Music by @fiddlehead.earthskyart.ca

This! What the actual hell?

Today, on International Human Rights Day, Albertans woke up in a province where the rights of one of our most vulnerable minorities have been overridden by a government whose only concern is its own ideological base. 1/2 nationalnewswatch.com/2025/12/10/a...

Eby, Carney Are Math Challenged on BC LNG Expansion Ambitions I'm sorry, but there is just no business case to expand BC LNG. Furthermore, David Eby, Mark Carney, Time Hodgson haven't bothered to make one. Who needs customers, right? #bcpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/DJzKGVUUU2U

What are we doing here? Not only did they have to use the notwithstanding clause to ram this law through, but it's based on, not just misinformation, but a bald-faced lie

Awkwardly, the Alberta legislature TV channel has broken in the middle of debate (committee of the whole) for Bill 9, in which the government seeks to use the notwithstanding clause to shield three gender bills from legal challenges. The YouTube stream IS working www.youtube.com/live/ryA5Lq4...

“Smith, and her chief of staff, Rob Anderson, directly intervened with Alberta’s Advanced Education Ministry in an attempt to help Peterson’s higher-education business venture.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

Oops I missed yesterday. Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar is one of my political pieces I made earlier this year to work out some feelings. Still have strong feelings. Better make some art. 🖼️

A Mature Asset Strategy is polluter pay. 93% of us agree: therockies.life/albertans-wa... A feel good economy that will last for more than 25 years! The rewilding of Alberta through site clean up and closure. A $260 billion economy we must demand! #abpoli #ableg #RecallThemAll #polluterpay #OWL

UCP once again using the excuse of solving another non-existent problem in order to impose their agenda and ideology on Albertans. Along with avoiding accountability for their actions.

Hey @andrewknack.bsky.social This is an unacceptable breach of privacy & over reach from the police. This is not something we should ever be doing.

Dwight is a rural landowner in Two Hills, #Alberta. 12 years ago, he was forced to host a gas well on his land, on the condition that the industry fully close and clean it up when the well stopped producing. That never happened. Watch the full video 👉 ecojustice.ca/LandownerStories #OrphanWells

#MusicAdvent Day 8: H is for Huevos Rancheros. They were an instrumental surf/rockabilly group from Calgary; I always thought of them as a more rough-around-the-edges version of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 8 evening, a temporary chalk mural I did for the 2019 DeepFreeze Festival in January 2019. Fortunately it was only -5 so not super deep freeze-y. Took about 9 hours.

Please, just listen to the experts. When it comes to your health, the vast majority of doctors and scientists are experts in their fields. YouTube and Facebook grifters with no education in medicine or science are not experts, no matter how much "common sense" they think they have.

This is incredibly dangerous. Kudos to the National Observer for running this, I sure the hell hope that our government does something about it, it's undermining our democracy for a quick profit.
