I think Calgary is great, most of the time. Trying to stay positive and curious. I love my family, travel, books, data and all things nerdy. Have a love-hate relationship with politics.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Mayor Gondek, thank you for joining us at the Calgary #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus stop. Also, thank you for your wise comments about building Canada on unity, not on partisanship. We desperately need leaders who unite, not divide.
Good luck on Election Day!

Voting to reelect Mayor #JyotiGondek & I hope you will too. As a woman of colour in #YYC politics she faced ugly misogyny, partisan press, shadowy dark money groups & heavy-footed provincial overstepping with style & grace, ZERO scandals & made the right calls when it mattered. 4 more years! #yyccc

I've heard of people buying Canadian flags from Amazon and other places. The best place to get your flag is from the legion (NEVER AMAZON). That way your money is going to help real Canadian veterans.

In 2024, the UCP government was sending a pretty consistent $12,000 a MONTH to the Countersignal.
For a grand total of $116,800 in a year and two months.
