Curious retiree in rural Saskatchewan. Tired of the old, seeking the new. I’m here for exchanges of information and ideas. Expect typos. She/Her. 🍁🦫

I was part of the early wave who left Twitter before the rename. After a lengthy time of being a social media vagabond, I’ve decided to land here on Bluesky. It seems appropriate since my Spirit Insect is a butterfly! #BlueskyPhoto

Primary Care Alberta recently declared a TB outbreak in Edmonton’s inner city. Twelve cases of active tuberculosis were diagnosed in 2025, making the incidence of TB in Edmonton a little higher than the average of poor countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

The UCP calls this #winning.

Here’s a fundamental problem with the difference btwn governance & politics. Why do we expect government to educate, persuade & even bribe us for votes. How can that bring us to success? Where is the media in this? Rather than delving into the policies and strategies, many are looking for gotchas.

Coincidentally, JD Vance's good buddy and CPC MP Jamil Jivani is currently kneecapping Pierre Poilievre, and will be hosting a town hall in Calgary with Danielle Smith in Calgary before the CPC leadership convention at the end of January.

It's all connected -- Jivani is turning on Poilievre.

On this day in 1972, Lester B. Pearson died.
A Nobel Peace Prize recipient, he was Prime Minister from 1963 to 1968.
A star hockey player, he was nearly the first Secretary General of the United Nations and once drank Nikita Khrushchev under the table.
This is his story

It’s interesting how the risk awareness that dependence on US systems - be it in digital services, defence, or payment methods - has been internalised fairly quickly in Europe.

We just saw Kate Winslet‘s movie that she directed called “Goodbye June”. We were very moved by it. The reality of the actor’s performances was amazing. Kate herself, who is a wonderful actress knows how to get performances out of her actors!
