A work in progress; keeping it real; laughing all the way! Retired post-secondary instructor. Flowers, birds, gardens, nature, water, trees, skies. Love. She/her. Cats' human for 35 years until allergies arrived. Now a dog's human for the first time.

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore.

The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power.

The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like...

This is getting ridiculous.

Pets are wild, man. There's just this little dude or little lady living in your house, being a whole ass creature, living their little lives and following the tune of a song you'll never fully understand. It amazes me every time I look at an animal.

Imagine if they had used human artists to craft something really special, distinctive, and imaginative?

This still looks like shiny AI slop - soulless and mirthless - devoid of creative spark.

There are few lessons to be learned here:

- Consider who the source is 🤥

- Don’t count chickens before they hatch 🐣

- Never underestimate the #ForeverCanadian movement 💪

Fact for today: Canada has climbed from 4th to 2nd in the latest international reputation rankings. The US has dropped dramatically, from 30th to 48th among the 60 top economies. Switzerland ranks first, Russia last. The rankings are often a factor in country investment decisions.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Have said this before but follow @disorderedyyc.bsky.social. They are highly skilled at finding contextual video, like this one.
Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

From the DM’s…

Danielle Smith says she’s listening to teachers and Albertans.

Anyways, this is apparently what listening looks like…

Yay!!!
Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

Alberta is #ForeverCanadian
Amazing! Wonderful! Your very hard work really paid off. I'm so proud of you!!

We should just send this asshole home.
Hoekstra was speaking to The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Business Canada but the story doesn't tell us what this organization is. It's an anti-Liberal, pro-American pressure group that endorsed Pierre Poilievre in the election and says Carney is damaging Canada in US trade negotiations

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.
