For what?

Money. Insanity.

Gee, nice to see the USA "rise up" and have another big protest(?) next weekend.
It's only been almost 6 months since the last one.

Don't worry world, they are working SO HARD to defeat facism.

The world is horrified alright.
Why is the USA so blind to their own demise?
Why won't they rise up and stop their fascist regime?
"Lesser" countries have done so much more.

But please do keep wearing inflatable costumes.

Gar Gar rounded up a bunch of turkeys to give to needy families in our community, as he does pretty much every turkey holiday.
This is why he gets my vote in Ward 9.
He has always been a champion for our neighbourhoods, and is heavily involved in helping those in need.

I had to venture out into the freezing cold winter to get groceries.
Why did I do this to myself? I know better. 🤣🥶

No idea. I ditched my account there long ago.
I'd bet they probably are.

I don't hate it, wearing layers is key.
Snow is pretty (sometimes).
I'd rather it be cold than blistering hot, as you can only take off so many layers. 😜🫣
And we have beautiful mountains.

Calgary.
It can snow in any month here. Even August. 🤣
Mid October snow is quite normal for us, the first snowfall of the season always hits harder.

I honestly haven't heard about either of them for awhile, which is nice.
Not surprised the grift lives on.

I wish I could open the windows.
It snowed last night, and it is currently -1C (which is 30 degrees in USAian.)
Fucking Brr.
I got coffee though. ☕🤎

And we'll do a combo for Scary Monsters #11 and #12.

Disgraced former Canadian athletes Theo Fleury and Jamie Sale.
"Fire and Ice" as they call themselves 🤣
Grifters and liars would be more fitting.
Terrifying what can happen to human beings.

Figure skater Jamie Sale and former NHL star Theoren Fleury, as depicted in something called "Battle of the Blades."

So slimy, greasy, creepy.

Jordan Peterson, looking as greasy as ever.

Sunday night!

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down one students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought a bunch of friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!
