Perhaps contact the producers of Meat the Press or 60 Minutes at 325°.

He's Canada's milquetoast - an ineffective wannabe contrarian who will slow any significant conservative progress in 🇨🇦 by possibly years if he blithely continues to admire Trump and his policies. His party made gains in the last federal election, but it was not because of this career politician.

So for a #underrated #birdoftheday I’ve chosen a female #mallard (hen). Why? Because hand anyone a camera and tell them to photograph a “duck” they invariably take a #photo of a male mallard with its iridescent green head. But the hen is also stunning, no? #photography #bird 🪶 #nature #duck

Taken Saturday. #Mount #Armstrong (elevation: 2,823 m or 9,262 ft) straddles the #Alberta / #BritishColumbia border along the #Continental #Divide. More info in #photos. Have a great Wednesday all! 😊

Taken 10/25/25. A stream in Alberta, looking west towards the province of British Columbia. Mount Armstrong, which straddles the border, can be seen, dusted by early snowfall and partially enveloped by clouds.

Mount Armstrong was named in 1918 after John Douglas Armstrong, a lieutenant with the Canadian Engineers 🇨🇦, killed in action in World War 1 on April 9, 1917, at Vimy Ridge.
Taken 10/25/25.

Taken (checks time) 10 minutes ago. 🙂 This male* #downy #woodpecker was taking a break from the hole he was creating & I was able to capture him & some surrounding #fall #colours.
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday. #photography #autumn #Calgary #nature #bird 🪶 *only males have the red spot.

Some of the #Rocky #Mountains in #Alberta 🇨🇦. Taken last Saturday from the site of the former thriving community of #LittleChicago (aka Revenues 1936-1970), where only a cairn now exists to prove it existed. Note the #pumpjack in the field. #photography #Fall #Autumn #Rockies #Longview

The Rocky Mountains of Alberta, having recently received a first snowfall. Taken from the Foothills of Alberta, looking west. Note the pumpjack on a rancher's field. Taken 25/10/25.

He will be able to, by making the United States of America a one-party state, with zero chance anyone could defeat him, just like what his idol in Russia has managed to achieve over the years.

It's the last Monday in 🎃ctober. Have a safe and happy week, everyone! On Saturday I took this #photo of #cattle on a #ranch just north of #Longview 🇨🇦. Note the #pumpjack in the distance. They pepper the #landscape in the #Foothills of #Alberta. #photography #cow #scenery #rural. #October #fall

Cattle in a rancher's field. Taken 10/25/25 in the Alberta Foothills, just north of Longview. Note the pumpjack in the distance.

IP always (well, at least since it was coined) stood for Intellectual Property.

But Idiot Premier is a remarkably accurate moniker for Danielle Smith, no?

Taken yesterday morning. This is #Upper #Kananaskis #Lake, located in #Peter #Lougheed #Park in the #Rocky #Mountains of #Alberta #Canada 🇨🇦. Located 90 minutes SW of #Calgary, many visit during the summer but at 10am Saturday there were few people around.

Upper Kananaskis Lake in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta is known for its turquoise-blue water and stunning mountain backdrop. A recent snowfall made the mountains look stunning in the morning sun. Taken 10/25/25.

Hello everyone. I was in #Kananaskis Country, #Alberta, #Canada 🇨🇦 this morning as the rays from the #sunrise shone on the clouds and these #snow dusted #mountaintops. More #photos later. Have a great weekend all! 🙂

I subscribed to the online WP 14 months ago for $2🇨🇦 every 4 weeks. After a year it was to increase to $25🇨🇦/4 weeks. I decided to cancel & subscribe to the Atlantic. First I received a "Sorry to see you go," email. The next day the WP emailed an offer to extend my subscription for $1🇨🇦/4 weeks. #sad

The 2 key words in the comparison is "in retreat," which Germany definitely was. Trump is nowhere close to being in retreat. The world is changing thanks to him. Good luck to everyone trying to prevent your country from being a one-party state.

Much research & work went into this incredibly wrong assumption. Your smugness & naivety is cute.

About the only advantage the Blue Jays have is that they WON’T have to visit Mar-a-Lardo and listen to Epstein's buddy beak on about acquiring Canada. Watch him make Hiroshima jokes if the Dodgers win.

GordonI @gordoni.bsky.social · 14d

That’s the one tangible advantage the Blue Jays have. If they win they’d be tickled pink at the celebration Canada would throw for them. If LA wins Ohtani and the team would probably dread meeting Trump for he’d likely make racist comments and use the occasion to go off topic and bore everyone.

What do you mean? He has ZERO plans of leaving office. This National-Guard-in-cities move is just a prelude to him declaring martial law and cancelling the Nov/26 midterms. He'll, the GOP is praising his tweet with him dropping excrement on the No Kings protesters.

Someone do something America!

There's your Nobel Peace prize candidate America. You all got greedy. You should have given him praise during and immediately after the hostage/prisoner exchange in the Middle East but now that Hamas has crossed the line and Israel has resumed bombing in Gaza, what (OUTSIDE OF HIS MIND) has he done?

GordonI @gordoni.bsky.social · 16d

Thanks. It would have been goodveven if the lake was rippled by the wind, but it was so unusually calm I just have to give thanks for a right place, right time moment.

Before this ends miserably for him, Trump will be dropping 'beautiful' from descriptions. He'll be happy if a snaggletoothed hag is still wearing a MAGA hat, which in less than a decade we should hopefully only be able to find in a museum, alongside hula-hoops, Betamax VCRs and cabbage patch dolls.
