This is CBC parroting the police (who also claim to be in mortal danger by simply touching the stuff)
NO CBC. This is not how drugs work and it's not how you do news. This is Fox-style drugs reporting.

I know all the NDP folks will do this, but it's a good idea.
The real question is if any of the ucp have any courage to do this.

Harris is my "your work reminds me of" guy when people talk about my art. Oddly, as a self taught artist in the early 90s, I had no idea who he was or his work. My mom visited me in Calgary in 96, saw this & said, oh that looks like Lawren Harris & I said.. who?
She bought me a book for Xmas 😏

On 29th January 1996, "Threshold", the Star Trek: Voyager episode where Captain Janeway and Tom Paris turned into giant space newts and had babies first aired. Since it's #ThresholdDay we aim to answer a burning question: did Paris and Janeway fuck? If so, how did they fuck?

We had 650 artists post over 8500 images here in December & 97% of those images had AltText.
If an artist can take the time to describe their art (often not an easy task) to be inclusive, the least you can do is learn how to use text recognition copy & paste for your articles & shit posts.

I'm legit unfollowing people who never use alt text.
You're literally typing on a text based app. So why are you making Canva images with little pithy quips and no alt text. I honestly don't understand it.

Fwiw, I'm doing studio renos & not painting because I messed up my thumb & wrist reposting 8500 images in December, then doing 2 days of 8 hours video editing and then trying to paint hundreds of stars.

Two years ago, private companies were lined up to build new renewable energy powerplants in AB, w/ ZERO subsidies from the AB government. We led the country by a wide margin.
Then, oil lobbyist Danielle Smith happened.
First to last in just two years.
Thanks, Dani 😞.

So on large boulder the size of a small boulder day, I return to the question. Was the officer correct?
Was the boulder in quantum flux of both large & small until viewed.
Could it have been small boulder the size of a large boulder?

So Carney has a +4% approval rating in Alberta.
He's literally a 1990s conservative so that shouldn't be any surprise.

I haven't quite listened to these two from the start, took me about a year to find them. But as I've said, this ridiculous Star Trek podcast has been the thing I've listened to in my studio by far the most. I'm into my 3rd run thru of all their eps, just finishing DS9 season 5.
