Good news in Calgary Confederation!
Of course, the CPC candidate, Jeremy Nixon, was an objectively terrible UCP MLA who lost the provincial seat to the NDP in 2023. He just might be doing the Liberals a favour!

It's springtime in Alberta!
We could still get a foot of snow
It could still dip to -20°
But the robins are back, so it's officially spring!

America, do something! Reign in your boy! Now!
Americans, your clown is running around your country and the world with hand grenades blowing things up. He’s your clown, and it’s your circus. I don’t care if you “didn’t vote for him.”
You are the only people on the planet who can rescue your country. Do something.

6°C, 30 km/h breeze from the west, and a classic Chinook Arch
Feels like March
Still winter, more of it yet to come.
But, a promise of spring
And hope for survival of another Alberta winter

When I need a little fortitude I look over to see what Charlie Angus has to say.
Trump’s vicious attack on President Zelenskyy is an attack on democracy.
Zelenskyy has shown the world what heroism.Trump is a convicted pervert and felon.
Trump and Putin are gangsters.
We are now in a global fight to defend the democratic order.

All the years of "but are you SURE it's a racism?" have gotten you to "are you SURE it's a coup?"
Set yourselves up for this because you didn't want to have uncomfortable discussions, before.
