I’ve been cooking a lot lately. I don’t usually post any of it, but man, this looks pretty cool. Moroccan Spiral Meatball Zucchini Bake from www.recipetineats.com/moroccan-spi.... It was delicious and served with mashed potatoes.

I’ve never even heard of a hygiene centre here in Canada. Seems like if someone struggling even hopes to climb out of that situation, this would be necessary. Have any Canadians seen these in their communities? Maybe I’m just naive?
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I signed. You should too!
Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians.

This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights.

SIGN.

Tonight Gluggagægir (Window Peeper), the 10th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to peep into windows to see if there is something inside worth stealing.

Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

My eldest son, now 18, made this for his younger brother, now 16. His brother has been battling brain cancer for several years. This is him with his dog Orca, who sleeps with him every night. So proud of the both of them. Oil on canvas. #artadventcalendar

I love this one for some reason. Those stretched out numbers, angled shadows and lines, and the muted colour palette, I guess. It just works.

Lifted this from Facebook. Interesting comparison, given the relentless complaints about Canada lagging behind our neighbour economically.

Charity is costly: fundraising, boards, donor whims. Why fund a fragmented, inefficient bureaucracy by begging when we could fund a robust public safety net by taxing the ultra-rich?
The solution to a broken system is not charity appeals, it's fair revenue. #Ableg #ABpoli
So the Premier has finally stated her vision for AB: hand over our Social Safety Net to FOR-PROFITS, non-profits, and let Charity cover the leftovers.
Not a lot of profit in "Orphans and widows", so let's hope our religious charities really ramp up.
Let's check some facts🧵

I mean, if you look back historically, children used to work in coal mines, babies often died in the first year of life, and treatment for an ailment was to bleed out. Let’s go back to that.
Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

Paramount already has Landman. They can’t buy WB and get Aquaman too. That’s clearly unconstitutional.

The UCP is hiding privatization behind “medically necessary” care and hoping no one asks if Albertans will still have universal coverage for “timely” care.

The policy hits you hard when you need surgery. You face tens of thousands or wait even longer.

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

I'll third this sentiment. Hats off to Vince Gilligan for another original idea. Also, still love his style, which is recognizable in this show.

Headline a year from now:

“Pr****ss being made on extension of Tr**s-Canada Highway between Cannomore and Blue Deer.”
From the DM’s…

As if Smith recalling her own recall legislation wasn’t bad enough…

Apparently she’s also moving forward with LEGISLATION to ban the word “progressive” from political party names.

Like, banning the word.
