I don't like the budget (I feel it's largely a #BigOil wish list) and I don't want an election (I feel there's literally NOBODY to vote for).
I am a Canadian citizen and lifelong voter. I feel disenfranchised. I feel like my political system is utterly failing me.

After making the short list for the first-ever Golden Globe for best podcast, conservative podcasters like Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro didn’t make the final cut—an interesting twist in an inaugural category that’s already seen its fair share of drama.

The #UCP have gone through six #AHS CEOs, all of whom received taxpayer funded severance packages. The #Alberta #UCP government shut down debate by adjourning the house until 7:30pm. No private members business will be debated before the legislature adjourns for the season.

This UCP government continues to find all manner of ways to limit debate. Today they just simply shut it down before it could even begin. It's a new low, even for them.

Sometimes at least it seems some people are viewing it as if it’s trying to take a moral position or even a political one based on character actions and/or world building aaaaand I think that’s a weird way to approach any show much less this one. Especially a show so new.

What a slap in the face to the many Calgarians that took time out of their lives to go speak to council for #HousingReform. Another do-nothing, kick-the-can-down-the-road council on the #HousingCrisis in Calgary. Farkas has NEVER lifted a finger on #Housing in this city & never will #yyc #yyccc
Calgarians clearly rejected blanket rezoning. I work for Calgarians, plain and simple -- not politicians or bureaucrats in Ottawa or Edmonton. I'm pushing for a made-in-Calgary housing solution that reflects our city’s needs, respects communities, and delivers more homes people can afford. #yyccc

Thrilled one of the Treasuries I picked up today was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. There was a discussion on here not too long ago, and people were raving about the Simonson art of this adaptation. So yeah, I’m gonna read it now.
