Just cracked open Value(s) by Mark Carney 🌍 — a powerful look at how we’ve confused price with value, and what it’ll take to rebuild trust, balance, and purpose in our world.

Wild cognitive dissonance in Alberta:

People who hate Trump somehow love Danielle Smith, David Parker, and Pierre Poilievre.

Same playbook. Different accent.

You can’t reject Trumpism and embrace its Canadian remix.

“What did the NDP ever do for Alberta?”

In the middle of an oil crash, they raised wages, improved worker protections, capped emissions, expanded parks, banned corporate donations & built the Calgary Cancer Centre.

Competence over ideology.

So much to be grateful for today—especially double the turkey and stuffing!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Antifa is short for “anti-fascist.” It’s not a formal organization, but rather a broad movement or ideology made up of individuals and groups who oppose fascism, racism, and far-right extremism.

Well, count me in! ✊🏻

We can do much better Alberta.

I have zero political ambition. If my name ever hits a ballot, it means the current path is so broken that staying on the sidelines became a moral impossibility. It won't be a choice; it will be an act of absolute necessity to step up and fix it.

Full tech stack switch! ➡️ Pixel 10 Pro (w/ Clicks case), Watch 4, Buds Pro 2. Ditching Samsung for clean Google AI, paired intentionally with my Surface Pro 12" in Violet. Harmony achieved: mobile integration meets desktop power.

MLA salaries up 138% (2010–2025).

Teacher salaries up 10%.

Class sizes grow, resources shrink, and we still expect teachers to do more with less.

If we value education, we must prove it.

Pay the teachers.

Fund the future. 🍎📚

LOCAL. PROVINCIAL. FEDERAL.

Stop wishing for change.
Start voting for it.
Make your difference count.
In every election.
Period.

Dear Google why are you still not offering 0% financing in Canada? Samsung Canada has been offering this for years. Please get your act together.
