I'm not sure I would say it wasn't sustained by might.

First, count the number of US military bases in foreign countries.

Second, look at all the trade threats issued by the US trade representative requiring mirroring of US laws, including many that solidified corporate power over sovereignty.

In 2024 I think our reduction was double the average.

My wife mentioned a case on Instagram or FB where a Calgarian boasted about reflooding his backyard ice rink this past week. Apparently he got roasted.

Both times I read what you meant until I noticed the correction!

Surely there are copies that will leak?

Internal combustion engines.

It will be like us thinking about all the horse shit in crowded cities of the early 20th century.

I love that hockey has live player changes, unlike every other sport.

It makes playoff hockey thrilling. Regular season play can be much less competitive.

I thought the loop was the name for the central business district and the encircling elevated train, not any highway.

Any of the 3. The problems that occur are not instantaneous.

I'm so glad we're avoiding any sort of value-add sophisticated industry and sticking with our strength, resource extraction.

Yeah!

My MLA (Amanda Chapman) is on the committee that considered this request. Her newsletter this week was interesting.

Lol... the preview is showing the CBC article but the link is the more complete Edmonton Journal article.

I tried to link to both but the Bluesky character limit made it impossible in one post.

I will simple cede that my original response overstated what was really more nuanced.

I can't find the language "build capacity" so I think I stretched the concept of "readiness" in a CBC article.

But this article is better. It gives the actual breakdown, including costs for the actual referendum.

Second MLA, Angela Pitt, facing recall petition: Elections Alberta | CBC News

Agreed.

The cost per petition was put at $1 M by the head.

The $13 M was to build capacity/capability. It might be debatable whether all the latter is needed along with a presumably permanent budget increase.

Maybe 93. Definitely 92.

My wife sent the whole interview. She was fantastic and absolutely deserves to be Chief Political Correspondent.
