Canada rocks! A little bit of GenX this, a little bit of GenX that. Dad to a pair of wonderful LGBTQ+ kids. Guns suck. A political outcast in good ol' Alberta, Canada. Home of the hard right and the hard stupid.

I received some input on the #sprucegrove municipal election upcoming in October.

It is vital we push a progressive slate, Take Back Alberta is aiming for the School Board and there are some UCP drones running for council.

I've included a cheat sheet. The sources of this document are rock solid.

📚 School Trustees
✅ Vote For:
• Adam McArthur – strong advocate for public education.
• Jill Osborne – student-focused, collaborative.
• Natasha Maloney – balanced, community-minded.
❌ Avoid:
• Karen Carlton – aligned with Take Back Alberta agenda.
• Darlene Wuerster – aligned with Take Back Alberta agenda
• Mumbi Maina – aligned with Take Back Alberta agenda
________________________________________
🏛️ Council
Mayor
✅ Jeff Acker – proven leadership, good community track record.
Councillors
✅ Vote For:
• Danielle Carter (Incumbent) – reliable, steady representation.
• Erin Stevenson (Incumbent) – proven track record of service.
• Jeff Tokar – practical, growth-focused.
• Brad Mastaler – experienced, community builder.
• Gayle Morozoff – collaborative, balanced voice.
❌ Avoid:
• Jan Gillett (Incumbent) – absolute disaster
• Spencer Bennett – hardcore UCP supporter.
• Trevor Hensen – far-right positions.
• Joseph Boros – single-issue agenda, not broad-minded.

So I missed the lede of the piece and didn’t realize this was last month.

Which makes this far worse, bc there’s been a month for this to become such bigger news than it had been.

I know there’s a lot going on, but … still.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Nobody needs the abusive and debunked “treatment” known as conversion therapy—and LGBTQ+ youth need to know they are loved and accepted as they are. As long as I’m in the legislature I’ll be working to ban it in Nebraska.

I'm not saying that I think the United States is going to be plunged into civil war.

I'm just saying that I hope the government of Canada has a serious and robust plan in place for what to do if the United States is plunged into civil war.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

An owl handler I met (although not the one in my anecdote) with his beautiful owl.
