Them: “Danielle Smith changed the rules because voting machines can be hacked for voter fraud”

Me: Explains how tabulators are used that *count paper votes* and no actual voting or hacking occurs on said machines.

Them: 🤯

“Despite reports of long lineups at the polls — pushing some people to bail on voting altogether — Alberta’s minister of municipal affairs stands behind the changes.”

Long lineups making people bail contributed to the lowest voter turnout in the city’s history.

So here’s the thing:

What if Farkas’s “rehabilitation tour” where he “learned to work with people” was all an act, and he’s still the same person from The Manning Centre and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation? 🤔

Prison and a lifetime driving ban.
Polling Station volunteers just told us it will be an hour to vote folks.

Can’t wait to hear about how this is the Trudeau-Notley-Nenshi alliance’s fault.

Municipal election in Edmonton today.

So, so, so depressing how MAGA style lies (about crime, evidence-based planning, etc) are having a massive influence.

Incredible how right-wing populism is sneaking into every corner...
3 hours to go folks!
Today’s the day! Go vote and help make sure we don’t get stuck with a mayor and city council who will make life worse for everyday Calgarians. Polls close at 8:00pm and you must vote at your assigned polling station.

Do you guys not have, like, planning regulations in the USA? Surely the White House is some equivalent of a listed building? This is just surreal.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

This will not have the effect he thinks it will …
Went to the Stamp’s game yesterday and I enjoyed it, minus the Billionaires who own the team telling me who to vote for, for Mayor.

This is one of those posts I think about a lot now. Especially on a day when the White House press secretary replied "your mom" to an earnest question about peace negotiations.

Why this hasn’t been on billboards across Alberta on every major roadway is beyond me …
Because living in a $2500/month 1-bedroom apartment wasn’t expensive enough.
Sure, Vancouver may hold the line on property taxes, but adopting a chinchilla or hedgehog is going up by 22%, adopting a budgie or finch by 42%, a gerbil or degu by 66%, and adopting a parakeet or lovebird is going up by a whopping 100%!
We have a neighbourhood Book Thief

Boomer guy who pulls up in his SUV with his wife and empties our street’s Little Free Library weekly

He’s either a voracious reader, or he’s flipping the books

If I wasn’t leaving for work this morning when he arrived, I would have asked him what his deal was
