I’m amused by conservatives who think lefty protestors must all be paid, like you’ve never been big mad for free?!

Wilson is my MLA as well, dammit. I snickered when he drove in our local summer parade; he seemed to have trouble steering his red convertible down a straight street at 10 kph with one hand while waving with the other. Only the brightest and best for the UCP!

Every country should be doing the same - or feeding false info and tracking where it goes.

The first time I walked my co-worker’s dachshund, it disappeared under a bush, where it managed to find and wolf down a petrified piece of blueberry pie. We had to stop at that bush on every subsequent walk, just in case the Stale Pie Fairy had passed by.

As an Albertan, I find it absolutely infuriating and terrifying. Thanks be to Thomas Lukaszuk and the #foreverCanadian volunteers for affirming that there are far more of us opposing the grifting Trump-Wannabe in the legislature than buying into her treasonous, fascist agenda.

Alberta is ground zero in the fight against MAGA tyrants. Standing with the teachers, students and families who are the front line of resistance.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels.

Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind.

A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them.

Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

Bean says yes, depending on the quality of the snacks on offer.

HoofRat🇨🇦 @hoofrat.bsky.social · 2d

Bean is promising snacks and belly rubs for all non-numpties, and fully intends to poop on Trump and Farage at every available opportunity.

After Halloween, we toss ours into a wooded area on our property for deer snackies.

I’ll make sure to tell her you said so when I perform my morning genuflection - maybe she’ll give us Cabinet positions?

If this isn’t the perfect metaphor for what he’s doing to the US - infrastructure, social programs, intellectual capital, international reputation- I don’t know what is.

I know 51.000 teachers who would happily lace up their Sorels to propel him to the unemployment line.

Just booked flu/COVID vaccine appointments for self/DH on the AHS portal; the earliest time that fits with my work schedule is in 3 1/2 weeks. The shots aren’t being given at our local health unit, so we have to drive nearly an hour and pay $100 for what the rest of Canada gets for free.

I love how English settlers arrived in Alberta’s prairies and poplar forests and thought, “Y’know what? This definitely looks like the capital of England” as they hacked at poplar brush, swatted mosquitoes and scrounged buffalo chips for the fire.
