Have you signed? If you haven't, I can facilitate contact. I mean they had a huge event at casa and have been at almost every Lethbridge event since the initiation. The details are shared regularly on Facebook.

Mapping Lethbridge’s Election Priorities, 2025

I’m going off script in this post to discuss the slate of candidates for the October 20 Lethbridge municipal election. To cut through the white noise and offer some clarity (albeit no certainty), I…

That's an unfair statement. They've been at most major events. I've seen them set up in driveways and boulevards. Of course, there is always room for more collectors so consider volunteering.

We have money to pay Bruce McAllister to tell a kid his parents should beat him. But disabled Albertans can't keep the $200 from the federal government 🤬 #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #yeg #yyc #yql #cdnpoli

At the Alberta Next panel in #yql and I had this random thought:

If you ever get the chance, take a class on propaganda. It may come in handy in your civic participation.

Ok. Back to this fascinating event.

Today in Alberta-August 1: A study from four Alberta scientists shows that regulations meant to protect streams from coal mine pollution are failing. At six sites near Alberta coal mines that closed in the 2000s, 98–100 per cent of water samples exceeded safe limits of selenium.

Not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is not innocent.

Teabagging a naked girl while doing the splits as your pals sit around eating pizza. Getting a blowjob while your team mate slaps her ass so hard it was noted in a group chat. Yah. Nothing wrong with all that.

Protect survivors. Believe survivors. Today is the last day we stay silent while predators get away with abuse and rape. God, I am so angry right now. Fuck those hockey players. Fuck Hockey Canada. And fuck the Canadian justice system that punishes the survivor and not the perpetrator. 🤬

So make a comment about the 5 NHL deviants and this is what you get from some rando on the platform. And then tell me misogyny doesn't exist and the system is fair and incels are misunderstood boys who need a soft teddy and a bowl of warm soup.

Not guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (and still 30 days to appeal) doesn't mean innocent. Why defend the creeps? In no way, in no world, was their behavior okay. Unless you're all about receiving public blowjobs with your pals while they slap the woman's ass as you chew on your Pizza 73.

Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, and Carter Hart. Remember their names. Sexual predators and bystanders to sexual assault. Now their spokespeople are claiming they're the victims. The NHL cannot touch these weak-assed creeps.

If the NHL ever wanted to prove they've learned anything, now would be a good time but I'm not counting on it

Hockey players will always be protected in Canada. I knew this was going to happen, even though I hoped for better. Keep an eye on their big NHL contracts now. Next time these b@stards will kill someone, and it'll still be fine. EM deserves better. We all do.
