Premier Ed Stelmach, thank you for donating a tank of gas for the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and for joining us at the Andrew garlic festival 🧄 That’s what principled leadership is all about.

Volunteers, thank you for braving the cold and collecting signatures!

I don’t come on here enough to understand what a volume poster is. I assume it’s someone who post excessively, doesn’t allow comments and/or engage with others.

People are really asking me why the mainstream news is barely reporting the closing of special ed dept at DoEd like all our big media companies aren't owned and run by absolute psychopaths.

I am trying to save up as a deafblind woman to move from a small city with a poor bus system to a bigger city with a better transit system. I would like to regain my independence.

Anything helps.

I had 6-7 good hauls off my tomato plants this year! I’m happy with how it turned out! Last year was not great for tomatoes.

The last harvest of tomatoes. I might have cried as I culled plants off my balcony.

A mix of cherry tomatoes — red, orange, yellow, and a few green — gathered fresh from the garden before the frost. Proof that even the smallest fruits can brighten the darker days of fall. 🌿💛

Oh the minister is concerned? Then f-cking listen to the teachers!

Pressure that the UCP has caused by diverting billions. I understand his kids don't go to public school?

“That would create massive pressure on our public system, which, of course, is already under immense pressure.”

As this was just approved like this week, I think the woman who filed the petition need follow the next steps to get things rolling such as a team, building website, setting up social media, recruiting volunteers and so forth.

I am supposed to do something at 4 pm today and my dumb perimenopause brain won’t let me remember what.

I’m sure it will come to me but too late.

Rallies, marches, town halls - I am tired. But if we want to keep Canada from becoming MAGA run, we have to stay strong.

There’s a rumor going around that a certain Nakota Isga ward councillor candidate commented that the answer to public safety concerns was “The folks who have decided not to be productive members of society need to just leave so we need to make sure they do that.”

I finally disassembled my portable AC and took out the AC panel out of my window. If it snows tomorrow, sorry, not sorry!

If you’d like to hear a front runner mayoral candidate complain about city administration and colleagues and play victim for an hour, listen to the latest special episode of the usually very entertaining Grose Misconduct podcast.

Please do not vote for Cartmell, folks. Vote for someone with vision.
