Sunday night!

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down one students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought a bunch of friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!

Senator Bernie Sanders has a message for Speaker Johnson.

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a "hate America" rally.
It's a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom.

Go to nokings.org and find a location near you to join the movement, 10/18.

In case you missed it, this was my starter pack for voices and organizations in Canadian Urbanism specifically. I’ve been adding to it over time, so even if you explored it before, you might want to see who’s been added. And sharing it would be much appreciated! #UrbanistShoutOut go.bsky.app/QWdmJjk

A lone wolf walks the train tracks in Banff National Park, Alberta. Earlier he had run down a slope in front of my car and trotted down the side of the road in front of me but wouldn't let me pass him. I snuck by and waited for him a few miles south by the tracks.

The Premier of Alberta is up to her perpetually confused brow in scandals; the teachers are on strike and there’s no end to that in sight, we’re still waiting on the report about the procurement scandal …

The pipeline is THEATRE. It’s not real. It’s a distraction, and it’s a cover - that’s it.

I was 21 years in Canada's parliament and I have 2 simple questions:
1. Who the fuck is @vgasparro.bsky.social ?
2. Why did @mark-carney.bsky.social let him ban the Irish group @kneecapceol.bsky.social?
If there is a fund to sue for damages, count me in.
Seriously.

Delays to emergency care can have devastating impact on pts and their families.

Closure of a large rural ED puts a large number of ABs at risk.

A Virtual ED does NOT = a fully staffed ED.

Unfortunately, there are many more cases like this one...

Is this so they can participate in the attack and invasion of Canada? I can't think of any other logical explanation. Wouldn't they like it better in Death Valley?

I believe that this pipeline proposal is, literally, a pipe dream. BC and FNs will never approve it. Millions of ABs have no interest in paying for it. I suspect the majority of Canadians oppose it. It’s just a tool to pin Mark Carney.

Let’s just save the 14M, okay?
