In case you wondered how it's going in Alberta, my cousin, who has voted conservative his entire life, is so pissed off at Danielle Smith and the UCP clowns that he hung a massive pride flag on the front of his house.

He's not a radical. He's a small-c conservative normie fed up with their shit.

my buddy's mom has cancer, and is immuno compromised, but because Alberta is charging $100 per vaccine, he now has to shell out $500 for his wife and kids just to ensure they don't kill grandma.

So much for the Alberta Advantage.

Passive aggressive level 100 this is how we roll in the PNW 🤣 Protesters in Portland are going ice fishing with donuts as bait on fishing polls, holding dance offs in front of ICE barricades in goofy costumes and just being incredibly annoying to ICE there's no violence from protesters whatsoever.

I tried to film a standup at an ag show in front of a horse pen (the horses were on the far side when I set up to have them in the background for the shot)

One snuck up behind me & scared the crap by nudging me from behind with its nose (it had pretty long reach)

I swear that horse was laughing.
