The Danielle Smith government is making the Covid vaccine shot booking process as difficult as possible. I can't book for my wife and I together - it is a planned disaster that is purely ideologically driven. #ableg #abpoli

Crossing fingers that Ferguson, the more progressive candidate, wins Ward 12 for Councillor. It would be nice to see the most conservative riding in Calgary see the two UCP supporting candidates split the vote.

I wish I had the flexibility and compactness that my cat apparently does.

The #tsunami hitting Valparaiso, Chile a few minutes ago. I used to live 10 min drive away in Viña del Mar - thankfully the tsunami doesn't appear to be too large

Had to say goodbye to our boy Mycroft today after a very sudden illness. Feeling raw.

Hey @redcrosscanada.bsky.social - instead of mailing all this crap to me (which will go in the garbage or recycling) to entice me to send money, save yourself the trouble and just send it to those in need. #charitygonewrong

Hey UCP and NDP parties - maybe y'all should reconsider putting the entire province's finances on volatile natural resources and buck up and implement a sales tax in the province.

From the perspective of watching my retirement savings evaporate into the ether, this is horrible, but it is fascinating to watch the U.S. implode in real time.

Glad Smith was so effective at protecting "Alberta interests" 🙄

Poilievre and the Conservatives making the assumption that all working seniors are poor and destitute. What this does is download the tax burden on the young.

Any bets on the people listed in @carrietait.bsky.social's new article are major donors to the UCP government?

Also, should we start calling this corruption #healthgate?

The corruption comes out little by little - when will Danielle Smith call a public inquiry? Why is there no outrage from Alberta conservatives on this issue?

Tomorrow is definitely going to hurt my retirement savings if the Asian markets are doing this.

Fittingly, Kim Stanley Robinson's novel "The Ministry for the Future" foresees drone use against global governments, although he suggests it would be to force change for environmental policies.
