The stunning Canadian island you can see but not touch

Hidden deep in the Rockies and only visible by boat, Spirit Island is one of Canada's most iconic places – and a sacred site for those who have sealed it off from the world.

One thing that strikes me about this story is that the car owner still owes more for the car than the insurance value of $26,000.
The Jaguar is 5 yrs old and has 75,000km.
Is the problem the insurance value or the sales price?
Or both?

EXCITING!

Your fiscally responsible UCP government is choosing to spend millions of tax dollars updating Alberta license plates with our slogan of "Strong and Free" instead of funding healthcare or public education.

Can you guess which one is my favourite?

A shout out to AB teachers who are out every day fighting for public education.

The UCP need to get back to the table with a fair deal for teachers with smaller class sizes & safer classrooms.

That’s how we get better for teachers, students & our education system.

Better is possible. #abpoli

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.
