UCP officials get glitzy hockey tickets, and then say thank you by ... buying Mraiche's property to the tune of $300k profit for Mraiche. I'd love to see the business case on the PROVINCE buying that property, smdh ... is it the official provincial post-game party house? 🏒🏡🎉

This is now confirmed-
York University, under guidance from the same company University of Alberta hired after our own provincial government cuts, is suspending admission to 18 programs.
The women and gender studies program at York is arguably one of the best in the world.

Allegedly, Smith's staff pressured health officials to approve over half a billion dollars in private health care contracts to a businessman who bought them seats in NHL luxury boxes in return for the favour. Then Smith fired a CEO who tried to investigate.

Don't let the internet hoodwink you into believing there are SIDES to anything (everything) and that you have to CHOOSE a side. It's bullshit. Have your complicated thoughts and feelings that fold in on themselves and leave you wondering what you really do think - that's really the best place to be.

I think it's clear that we all need to learn more about LGBTQ+ experiences, especially the trans experience, in order to find our way to being able to love and support with actions instead of just talk. If not, we'll just continue to be periodically devastated by news of yet another mass shooting

Sometimes you have to take a long hard look at your life and realize you're chasing a chubby cat around your apartment, screaming "IT'S A ROCK, it's a rock, do NOT chew a f'in rock!"

If it makes you hate yourself, it's not God, and if the people around you say it is, you need to get out of there.

None of my pleasure is guilty. I love fresh, strong cups of tea and ice cream and light reading and teen tv and good comedy (mainly British and Australian) and bubble tea and being in the trees and taking overly long showers and indulging in fandoms. Your pleasure is not a problem, it's a gift.

I loathe voicemail but cannot be bothered to deal with my service provider to remove it from my phone number. But I love a podcast-length voice note. Hope this clears things right up for you.
