This is something near to my heart. My brother worked for years as a social worker with high risk youth. Not a week went by without him being notified one of his kids had died.

The Minister's response? "We did some work in 2013, but we're gonna look at it."

What the fuck?

I don’t blame him. First the carbon levy, now a pipeline?

The UCP is trying to shield AIMCO from a $1.3+ billion lawsuit because of the UCP's own decisions.

When will the UCP understand that pension dollars are not public funds and quit fucking around with them?

Ah, there's the winter temps.

Still no snow. Becoming increasingly concerned about how dry it's been over the last couple of months.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Oh wow, Dale Nally said the quiet part out loud.

According to him, if you don't vote, you lose your right to participate in democracy.

November 17, 2025 Gordon McClure Chief Electoral Officer Suite 100 11510 Kingsway NW Edmonton, Alberta Canada T5G 2Y5 Dear Mr. McClure, Warning: This document contains privileged information from Elections Alberta, and permission from Eberhart may be required before publication. According to Elections Alberta data, Joshua Eberhart does not vote in provincial elections. The question then becomes how does someone who does not even vote get talked into leading a recall? I believe Mr. Eberhart acts as a proxy for Alberta Resistance, a left-wing activist group weaponizing recall legislation to target UCP MLAs and provoke a general election. This approach contradicts the spirit of recall legislation, and therefore, this application is without merit. Kind regards, \ Dale Nally \ MLA, Morinville-St. Albert

SpaceX Starship Booster 18 had a catastrophic failure last week during testing, and RGV Aerial Photography got a few shots of the aftermath. Engines weren't attached and fuel wasn't loaded... so it's unclear what […]

I’m sure this will go just fine and that there’s absolutely no reason for concern here whatsoever.

It's not just 31 deaths, it's countless injuries that could have been deaths, it's countless near misses. Something's gotta give.

The Ten Second Epic reunion was a blast from the past last night. They sounded just like I remembered from fifteen years ago.

Though, the crowd sucked. So much pushing and shoving. It was much calmer upstairs.

Yesterday, on the amendment of the Consideration of Her Honour the Lieutenant Governor’s Speech, the UCP had the opportunity to reject separatism.

They did not.
