Need to see a hell of a lot more of this from the ANDP. Call the thing what it is. Make this THE issue. A separatist referendum in Alberta must be met with a resounding, categorical, unambiguous defeat.
From our newest episode!
NDP MLA @pancholirakhi.bsky.social spelled out very clearly how dangerous the separatist movement is and how open to interference from the US (and others) it is...

I can pretty much promise you that anyone pointing so-called "smart" eyewear at me is going to get it slapped the fuck off their face.

Once upon a time I claimed I was not a "cat person". Last night I wept over the possibility that my cat - who I haven't seen since October - might die from a sudden medical issue a province away without me having any way of saying goodbye.

This is Radley. My ex and I adopted her almost 9 years ago. She will be getting surgery on her knee soon, which we hope gives her many more years of pain-free puppin' around.

I have been this kind of idiot in the past, and I regret it.
It's ok to just like the shit you like and let everyone else like the shit they like.
Goes for all media, actually. Not just games.

There was a time when we just had to play the video game as is, and would be lucky to see an update.
We got the internet and it cost us our whimsy... instead of just enjoying a game folks find reasons to tell you why it's bad.

There's not very many things I find more upsetting than financial fraud that targets the elderly. I mean it's fucked up that it happens to anyone, but it's especially vile that fraudsters target this vulnerable population who in many cases are living on next to nothing already.

I agree, it would be nice to be able to shrug off debilitating blows and hurl fireballs from my hands.

As someone taking care of a terminally ill family member that's received excellent care from TWO provinces, it boils my blood to see one tragic fuckup being turned into the story of socialized medicine by bad actors. Fuck you if you think private medical care is the answer

First time driving through the mountains via Jasper. Not sure if I was spectacularly lucky or what, but I had the highway to myself most of the way to Kamloops. A nice change from heading west from Calgary and being in heavy traffic the whole way.

Please don't bring your what sounds like four very young children to stay in the downstairs unit of an airbnb I have to live in while my mother is dying of cancer and let them scream at each other at 1 am while you talk loudly with the other three adults in your party.

At the recent Alberta Municipalities conference in Calgary, Premier Danielle Smith floated the idea of taking tax powers from municipalities. They aren't into it but do want the province to start collecting its own portion of property taxes. #yyccc #ableg
