Running a province means making tough decisions.

New hospitals? No.
Funding for disabled Albertans? No.
Funding for public education? No.

$900 million taxpayer dollars to Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission? YES!!

Wait… is “Board of Peace” just a bad play on “Bored of Peace”?

Wind & solar produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU!🌞🌬️

Renewables cut people's bills. The tech for a 100% renewable energy system already exist. Now we need the political will to build it fast, fair & people-owned.

On this day in 2004, Corner Gas debuted on CTV. It ran for 107 episodes, and had a movie and an animated series spinoff. The show won nine Canadian Comedy Awards and six Geminis, including Best Comedy Series from 2005 to 2007. It remains one of Canada's most acclaimed comedies.
A group of nine adults posed inside a retro-style diner with red vinyl booths and a small table. They are seated and standing closely around plates of burgers, fries, and sandwiches. The floor has red-and-gray checkered tiles, and wood-paneled walls with curtained windows line the background. One person stands behind the booth holding a bowl of ice cream, wearing a light-colored uniform. Others wear casual clothing, including jackets, sweaters, and short-sleeve shirts. Coffee cups, plates, and condiments are visible on the table. The group faces the camera in a relaxed, staged pose.

Suni Williams - astronaut, combat helicopter pilot, test pilot - is retiring after 27 years at NASA. She flew 4 rocketship types, did 9 spacewalks, spent 609 days in space and commanded the ISS.
I served as her backup for her 2nd spaceflight, and have nothing but respect. Suni's a powerhouse.

Prime Minister Carney has made Canada Strong, Bold and Wise.

Well done, Sir.
Carney said this more isolationist approach, where there's a "world of fortresses," will make countries poorer, fragile and less sustainable. But it's coming nonetheless and Canada must work with like-minded allies where possible to push back against domination by larger, wealthier and well-armed countries. "This is not naive multilateralism. Nor is it relying on diminished institutions. It is building the coalitions that work, issue by issue, with partners who share enough common ground to act together. Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," Carney said.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Ñandutí, Paraguayan lace. The name means "spider web" in Guaraní, the official, indigenous language of the country. Due to Spanish colonialism, it is related to Tenerife lace #WomensArt
