This may end up being a big boycott campaign.
I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder.
Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

Alberta’s flu vaccination rates are dangerously low, and our healthcare system is feeling the impact. Getting vaccinated helps protect lives and helps keep the pressure off emergency rooms.
It’s not too late: book your flu shot today.

Winsport is an exercise in futility right now. Main lot is useless beyond capacity - overflow lot is unsigned; shuttle service unclear; and long walk between shuttle stop , guest services for day tickets and lifts. Unworkable for quick visits of 2-3 hours.

After more than a decade of a deactivated account, had to go back onto Facebook because of the economic necessity of FB Marketplace and local Buy and Sell groups. Somehow no one uses Kijiji, Craigslist etc. much anymore. Sigh. Have to consolidate/update the Frog Bike library!

I'm glad to see the water pipe report went there. SFH-dominated sprawl + low taxes is not sustainable, practicable, or safe. The Mayor is talking about accountability + safety given the severity of the blowout - this conversation better be part of it esp. as he moves to undo densification measures.
Today #yyccc is learning about the reasons behind the Bearspaw Feedermain pipe break. One key factor is #yyc's urban sprawl & low density growth. This comes as Council looks to repeal blanket rezoning. Will Mayor @jeromyyyc.bsky.social or anyone else on council reconsider their decision now?

@zamafir.bsky.social Any tips on wireless CP (which worked flawlessly from Sep '24 delivery to about Oct '25, when dealership installed some updates during seasonal tire swap) tending to drop for 30-60 secs after reverse/parking camera use? Unpairing and re-pairing from both ends hasn't done it.
