I played fretless bass on this early collab with @curtismech.bsky.social —somehow we came to like doing collabs for holiday-related songs including O Come Emmanuel and another I’ll post next week.

An important note…

Smith isn’t just overriding the federal Charter…

She’s also overriding the Alberta Human Rights Act AND the Alberta Bill of Rights she just rewrote.

At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…
