I want every Canadian elected MP, previous to swearing in, agree to a rigorous security clearance that shows they aren't a potential national threat.

It bugs me that classroom complexity is being centred as the problem with public education in Alberta. UCP took the province from Canada's highest per-student funding to the lowest & schools now have huge class sizes with lacking resources required to support students. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sounds like someone who's 'been there' and has both hands on the wheel. Also critical will be who she takes with her. Many career civil servants I've come to know are careful with funds in their domain, smart as whips, discreet & capable. Many 'Plain Janes' who deliberately fly under the radar.

This is our case as well. UCP have left billions of fed money sitting uselessly on the table b/c Smith is in a snit about giving Feds any kudos. UCP allow insurance premiums for Niece under 25yoa @ +$5000 annually!! She drives better than most middle aged drivers Shld be based on accidents/not age.

#Christiannationalism is a form of political idolatry that distorts our knowledge of God and neighbour through a xenophobic, racialized and militarized gospel. Christian nationalism is an ideology based on the false assertion America is a Christian nation, that this was founded as a Christian nation

All true. But I wonder if media & readers are more inclined to 'believe' a ginger white Celtic man than all the thousands of not 'pasty' people who have been kidnapped & interned in the same camp/s. Still, if that's what it takes to focus action to change... Then, we shld look in mirror...

One of the most distinctive flags in the world. In my biased, prejudiced opinion - THE most distinctive flag in the world. Simple red and white shows up against the sky. HAPPY FLAG DAY, everyone!

@mitchellab.bsky.social Searching for numbers of voters that gave UCP gov in 2023 b/c of FPTP. I thought I read somewhere that in the ENTIRE province there were less than 5000 votes that put her there b/c some constituencies were won by 100/less than 100 votes. Maybe less than 5K? Any recollection?

There is a certain faction of society that believes you can't call someone a Nazi until they have killed at least 6 million Jews, and that someone isn't a racist unless they've burned a cross while wearing a white hood.

"Scientists are not alone in working toward increasing trust in science, we have teachers, librarians, and many others with us." Really important to remember this! @laurahelmuth.bsky.social and others sharing thoughts on public trust in science at #AAASmtg

the best part of KU's Pink Game is granny ball at halftime!! #RockChalk

When a black woman did it, she was penalized. Not to play down his accomplishment, it’s amazing but just to note this was in 1998. www.theroot.com/white-olympi...

THIS! That slavery made the day a human being took their first breath unimportant. AB's prominent & successful cowboy, John Ware has no birthday/birthYEAR stated. Born a slave/no official records show his birth. Yet some insist we stay ignorant w no need to show how little respect we had for others.

www.fantasticfiction.com/c/barbara-ca... Real Q: Was she herself churning out multitudes of books or had she a writers' stable punching out generalities while she filled here&there? 723 published +160 unpublished within, say 80 yrs of writing seems ambitious considering a bon vivant social calendar.

The Supreme Court of Canada no longer posts in X. Same for the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, and so many other national organizations. It would be great to see the federal, provincial, and territorial governments do the same.

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

The Olympic curling 'Cdn double touch' scandal, complete with F-bombs, is fascinating! The game has sure changed. I remember back in our small town Saskatchewan curling club, the only scandal of this size was that there weren't enough cup holders along the ice for everyone's rye & coke lol #curling

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

….2 making anything that our girls inherit from us is NOT to be counted as part of their ‘marriage asset’. So if they sadly went through a divorce, whatever they got from us was NOT to be counted. In ON, it is automatically 50/50 split of assets. A good clause for parents to consider!

This is what they are replacing DEI with. Crony Capitalism. Its why they need constant tax cuts and subsidies because they could not business their way out of a fucking parking lot puddle.

Bondi suggests Culver City has a Crime Problem. So if the US decides it has a Bondi Problem, do they get to send security units in to manacle her and put her in a warehouse for an interminable period of time?

Not exactly what I was expecting of Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan's Mikhail Shaidorov won the 2026 gold medal in Men's Figuring Skating. I suspect, like me, a lot more people will be checking out his country.

The long read. Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong www.theguardian.com/news/2026/fe...

From Whitstable Pearl to Dalziel and Pascoe . . . what a ride.

SCC case today the biggest ever on s. 6 of the Charter? Very interesting stuff, look forward to reading. Aside from the scope/meaning of section 6, the judges were unanimous on the reasonable limits of COVID restrictions by Newfoundland & Labrador.

Sometimes I think about how funny it would be if regular workplaces operated like sports teams. Seeing a post from my company's social media account like "Allison putting in the work 💪" and it's just a picture of me sending emails.

My car isn't dirty - it's got a nice layer of anti-theft grime.

She won a landmark discrimination case in Canada. An exhibit and play honour her legacy Civil rights pioneer Gloria Baylis won case against #Montreal hotel giant in the 60s www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"If you think you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room." First time I've encountered that statement. Smirking to have been a casual bystander when my brother was told this.

Great sport story!

I thought this was a haha. Or maybe disinformation. We should have been so lucky. Infantile. Entitled. Sycophantic. All those to describe the various GOP in this story.

Heart shaped pupils in their eyes!

LOL yep. Everyone has a right to an opinion. Everyone also has a right to ignore people whose opinion is based on assumption and faith.

'Naming' is important, sets tone for not just places but all of us w our names. It's why parents make efforts to pick the 'perfect' name for their child. "What's in a name" pulls us in, gives us clues to what was important for ppl there at that time. Very cool, LA! Thanks LA Dork.

Dorbs! 😁
