YYJ Dog, Canadian by choice, embarrassing dad and partner. I know bikes are better than cars, but still have a car. Committed to reconciliation, freedom and peace for Palestine, and anti-racism (a work in progress).

It’s quite something when the person who wanted to be your representative in the government is the pointy end of a party whose singular purpose is to promote racism and erasure of Indigenous identity.

Everyone who put themselves forward as a supporter of this person…. Is this still you???

Dang! @daniellesmithab.bsky.social was right! The Libs are crushing the poor oil industry in Alberta!

Just returned from a trip to France and Spain. LRT is everywhere and extremely well used. It can be done here. It will cost $ and be disruptive to construct. But The freedom to move far outstripped any convenience of sitting in traffic.

Used to only buy Adams. Now I get the much better and fully Canadian owned Island Nut brand (also sold as Root Cellar brand). More expensive but it ain’t Smucker’s.

Also, the app “Buy Beaver” is very helpful and fun if you want to double check and feel smug.

At 57 I don’t think I’m younger. But definitely fall into the “pro OCP affordable housing over cars” camp.

I might not have had it on my laptop all day. Maybe.

But I did.

Now we’re rewatching the highlights.

Hammond changed his vote after voting yes, when he saw Gardinder was opposed… and the “Gang” are a bloc…. JFC.

Looking forward to watching Marg justify voting against progress. It should all be horse-drawn carriages….

@mattdellvictoria.bsky.social just absolutely CRUSHED it with the rationale for supporting the parking plan. “We want a better quality of life… that doesn’t require getting into a car to buy an onion.”

The campus has tons of supports. My daughter started her last year (BSc) today. Tell him to join everything and don’t be shy about the ally clubs.

I live in CO as a kid before moving up to Canada. Loved it but it’s been a long time. Would love to go back for a visit…. But it’s going to be a while.
Both my kids go / went to UVIC, as did I. It’s a great town.

You mean it’s paranoid to say the actual thing that actually happened?

The Cranks and “anti”’s are likely going to be louder and looking to amplify misinformation and misleading assertions.
Be sure to let #yyj council know what you support for future generations.

Wish I could be there. Be sure to fill out the online form.

Shipping to the U.S.? You'll need this app to prepay your dues
All U.S.-bound packages must have proof that a 35 per cent duty has been paid or automatic billing enabled before the shipment can be accepted for delivery

Caution. There’s a major flaw in the app. You cannot return items for refund without paying the duty. Canada Post AND Zonos are aware. I found out the hard way.

I think in Kamloops and Quesnel, the best we’ll get is “I’m sorry if you were offended by everything I’ve done.”
