I think that lately the numer one CPC requirement is a hateful personality followed by a complete lack of empathy. This all smothered in greed and entitlement. 😞

The bad news is that it snowed in NE Calgary.

The good news is that #ForeverCanadian volunteers couldn’t care less. They are braving the elements and are set up near Nandos restaurant, collecting signatures.

This Forever Canadian movement is something else…

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

It’s difficult to understate the role that creeping, insidious, algorithmically-driven isolation has played in harming society - and without spaces to simply exist alongside other people, it’s only going to get worse

"We should all be angry that we had 14 years of Tory austerity. They shut our libraries, they shut our community centres. And then to say integration is a problem - how do you expect people to integrate if you've taken away their services?"

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

A nice circumhorizontal arc (informally known as a fire rainbow, which is a misnomer) over West Virginia captured by Christa Harbig!

It is an optical phenomenon belonging to the family of ice halos, so it is neither fire nor a rainbow.

$The image shows a circumhorizon arc (or circumhorizontal arc), an optical phenomenon resembling a fiery rainbow. It forms in a clear sky with cirrus clouds made of flat, hexagonal ice crystals aligned horizontally. These crystals refract sunlight, creating a colorful arc parallel to the horizon. Vibrant colors shine brightly against the blue sky, captured near North Fork Mountain, West Virginia.$
