It's understandable that #oilers fans are worried about a slow start, but the #flamrs are 2-8-2 (.250). There is serious talk about blowing up this team and starting over.

I thought they would have some momentum from the last game.

Out for months. The league has to take a close look at these knee on knee hits. Probably unintentional.

This apology was deeply meaningful to hear today. Remembering my Great Uncles, Pete and Henry Warrior of the Piikani Nation, who served in WWII.

Thank you to all Indigenous Veterans who have served and continue to serve our country. #IndigenousVeterans #Apology #Thankful 🧡🙏🏽 via @CBCIndigenous

1/ 🧵 Contrary to the UCP, Alberta didn’t have to use the notwithstanding clause to legislate the teachers back to work.

The “no choice” take doesn’t hold up. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Not to be pedantic, but the correct spelling is Hallow'en. Short for All Hallows Eve. But having learned more about Celtic traditions I think we should return to #Samhain.

After almost all votes are counted, D66 and PVV have equal number of seats — D66 is still biggest party with ca 2,000 more votes.

VVD and CDA both lost a seat compared to the exit poll, while FvD and CU won one.

D66-GL/PvdA-VVD-CDA seems only option but would fall short of majority in Senate. 🇳🇱

And now the UCP have gerrymandered the Lethbridge ridings to split up the non-bonkers voters.
