This is the Alberta my fellow British Columbians warned me about when I moved to this province over 20 years ago. I’m at least grateful it took this long to manifest. I’m going to focus on the @lukaszukab.bsky.social win to help me get through staying here awhile longer.

Not impressed with this new/old way of voting but now I have clarity on the forms: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Why Alberta voters filled out forms at the polls — and how the information will be used | CBC News
Municipalities are now provincially mandated to create and maintain permanent electors registers, or lists of eligible voters.

Interestingly enough, there is now a recount in Ward 12. CBC stating tonight that there were “sufficient rejected ballots… to affect the result of the election.”

So, we watched the poll clerk fill out the form and then put in a pile with others. Neither I nor my husband were asked to sign that form - does that mean our votes are invalid?! (36 minutes in line). @jlisayoung.bsky.social

SE Calgary: approx. 40ish people ahead of us and 36 minutes. 🙂

They have time to write that up, but not update the 1985 Alberta Visual Arts curriculum… 🙄

Thank you for this. I’m originally from Kamloops, grew up around Ponderosa pines… and you captured the essence of the BC interior perfectly. ❤️

After today, I can no longer ❤️ your slug art, as beautiful as they are. 🤩 It would be blasphemous to the bucket load of slugs who met their demise this morning. Looks like hostas are more important to me after all. 🥺🐌
