I'll respect their role more when they start doing what I tell them!

Conservative government under Stephen Harper killed off the independent grocers, with corporate mergers for big grocers.

ICE executed another one.
An execution.
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

Reminder to Canadians: Don’t book connecting flights through US airports

The Sturgeon Road Snow Sculptor of St. Albert, Alberta Snowwas hard at work with all the snow we've received over the past couple of weeks.
Luckily I got a couple of photos taken before the temperature starts to go above freezing this weekend.

It's all about respecting the individual.
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in Canada, an opportunity for everyone to learn more about dementia and its profound impact on those living with and supporting those with dementia.

The Canadian healthcare system isn’t equipped for many in the 2SLGBTQI community who get dementia.

Apt.
When you don’t if it’s the weather or the news that’s making you more sad, that’s called treasonal depression.

Aww, we lost another lobbyist for O&G in cabinet.
Smith has released a statement on the resignation of Rebecca Schulz and has appointed Grant Hunter as new Minister of Environment and Parks.

Yup.

Primary Care Alberta recently declared a TB outbreak in Edmonton’s inner city. Twelve cases of active tuberculosis were diagnosed in 2025, making the incidence of TB in Edmonton a little higher than the average of poor countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Xmas presents I got for myself arrived.
The guillotines are for Joe Lonsdale of Palantir who wants public hangings.
The coat hangers are a reaction to Jason Stephan's speech on late term abortion.
And the red maple leaves are for Forever Canadian.
They were all from an Alberta supplier.

This catches something really important. The risk
is less that this crew changes the regime and more that while trying to do so they cash out the whole thing. Which is one more powerful reason why resistance is patriotic.
The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

I used to watch lots of Mandy and Kathryn's stuff.
Great stuff.
Will have to get back to it.
It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

I just love this! The negative publicity hitting the UCP right now is PRICELESS. They handed the opposition their campaign material on a silver platter and ran right into their own #StreisandEffect. Talk about self-sabotage! Thanks Jenny and team!
