A #painting for you from a while ago. "Tramore I" The last time I was in this corner of Waterford I was on a bicycle. I painted this because I love junctions, the possibilities they hold - which includes rendering me stuck at them unable to decide. Plus I like their shapes. #art #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm
Landscape format in painterly acrylics on mat board. Sunny day. A light teal sky with a small amount of white clouds near the horizon and side edges. View is looking up two streets of two-story buildings from a fork junction. Left street is more uphill than right street. Most buildings are white or pale blue, especially in shadow, except for central building where street forks both sides of it which is deep burnt orange, and dark red in shade at the gable end facing viewer. Street surface in sun is grey green with pavements more yellow green. In shadow they're dark blue, cast from the left and behind. Wires arc overhead from off picture at the top to a pole on the right path and the red building. Signed bottom left, Liam Daly

Incredible investigative journalism by @carrietait.bsky.social et al.

Political interference, corruption, enshitification, conflicts of interest, bankruptcy, gambling debts, court records, legal actions, queue jumping, hockey games, children's liquid analgesics, hoarding, men named Sam & more.

“Smith added that Nally had been incorrect in his initial assertion about the petitioner’s voting history.”

So Nally maligned a petition organizer with entirely false information?

Not a strong argumet for competence…

I wonder how many Albertans Smith & the UCP have killed by -
Destroying healthcare
Taking away photo radar
Taking away trans-youth Charter Rights
Their anti-vax policies
Defunding social serves

IMO, every recall is justified because the price of keeping the UCP in power is too high

Those on Calgary City Council focused on repealing blanket rezoning: I want my free cake from the federal government and to eat it, too.

CMHC: Nope, that ain't how it works. Let us know when you change your minds back, hopefully before March. For now, do not pass go, do not collect $129M.

via r/Alberta on reddit:

"Jason Stephan quoted Mormon scripture as “Canada’s founding principles” during his abortion speech in the Legislature"

Jason Stephan is the MLA for Red Deer-South.

www.reddit.com/r/alberta/co...

#Alberta #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
A screenshot of the entire reddit post. "On November 19, Jason Stephan addressed the Legislature regarding abortion access. In his remarks, he asserted that Canada was founded on Judeo Christian principles. He then proceeded to cite passages that were not constitutional or biblical in origin, but were taken almost verbatim from Mormon doctrinal texts. The following are the lines he used in the Legislature, alongside their corresponding passages from The Family: A Proclamation to the World, an official doctrinal statement issued by the LDS Church in 1995 (128 years after the Canadian Constitution was written), and other LDS texts. "

The UCP argues recall is being weaponized against policy, not misconduct.

By that logic, the Gondek recall was also weaponized, as it was explicitly against her policies.

The UCP's reaction to the weaponized recall on Gondek?

To make recall easier.

Hey #Lethbridge City Council, before we get too hung up on the ‘ideology of blanket rezoning’, take a look at the practical consequences of the dialogue you’re about to engage in.

Blink and you’ll miss it. The cruelty continues with the Alberta government not indexing ADAP to infalation “instead of being pegged to the "alberta escalator" (which was the lesser of inflation of 2%), benefits are now "the amount set out or determined in accordance with the regulations."”’

If you are a retired Ontario teacher, look at the latest email/letter from OTIP/RTIP health insurance. They just cut your paramedical benefits nearly in half, reduced your travel coverage from 100 days to 30, dropped vision care and increased your premiums. They invite you to upgrade.
Bastards.
