This is an absolutely riveting story of Canadian heroes. Unbelievable! Thanks for posting
On Dec. 22, 1929, Bert Logan died of diphtheria in Little Red River, Alberta.
His death sparked a race to get a vaccine to the community before it was too late.
It was an epic journey to save lives.
This is the story of the Race Against Death.

Unless I missed it somewhere, I don't see any details about the Alberta Next survey methodology.

This leaves me with a lot of questions.
I started reviewing the Alberta Next report by looking at their polling results.

The numbers in the sample table don't add up.

Can anyone make it make sense?

If not, I'm not sure how we take the analysis seriously.

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

No matter how much America might think the rest of the world is pointing and laughing at them, I can guarantee it's more.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

A recent poll found 69% of decided Albertans would end public funding of private schools- despite the UCP insisting doing so gives parents choice.

Chatted with the person behind a citizen driven iniative to end the funding.

Thoughts?

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.
