This image never made the cut for photos I printed for the Sugarbowl. It was just a space issue.
Too many photos and not enough walls. Story of my life.

So it looks like November 27th will be the start of Edmonton's "lasting" snow for 2025-2026. #yegwx #yeg
That's pretty late.
Recently 2023 made it to December 4th.
And going a bit further back 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004, 2002 &1997 all held out a little bit longer.

Today, I saw a driver overtake a stopped bus and plough through a pedestrian crossing. He beeped three times as he sped though. The beeping was to warn people because, as he had overtaken a bus, he had zero visibility of who was about to step out onto the crossing.
But sure, more hi-vis, everyone

In the Visitor's Centre at the Legislature was what was supposed to be a permanent display about protest in Alberta. It featured my photography and audio extracted from videos I shot. Of course, the UCP government destroyed it. I'll keep documenting the revolution regardless. #yeg #ableg

I’d be worried about a) handing Danielle Smith a pipe to bludgeon you with (if it doesn’t get built), b) the possibility of more infrastructure (if it does) plus c) total capitulation (either way) from a guy who had previously marketed himself as someone who wouldn’t completely capitulate.
