When RCMP Sergeant pulls up behind the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus, it’s not to write a ticket, it’s to sign the petition.

Thank you, Officer!!!

Blank ends in curling. Always a hot topic.

Well guess what... at next week's @grandslamcurl in Nisku, changes are coming. Teams will only get one blank end per game. Use it wisely.

How the Grand Slam of Curling is working to curtail blank ends

Unless you’re the ultimate curling purist, you probably don’t like blank ends. We can all think of at least one time we sat down to watch a curling game — live or on television — and had to wait close...

Terrible that you have to pay the inflated rate (or pay at all!) but also glad you are able to get what you need.

The AB teachers rally in Calgary today, at McDougall Centre

I tried to get pics up close but it was way too packed to get a good spot. Biggest rally at McDougall I've ever seen.

#Alberta #abpoli #AlbertaTeachers

A lot of people standing outside of McDougall Centre, a provincial government office and meeting space. They're holding signs and most people are dressed in red.

4 treats sit on a table for Fred, as the Canadian clears the bases and does what Judge and Stanton cannot. Suck it Yankees.
