There's not much more fundamental to governing than the issue of separatism. To be indifferent to caucus positions on this is a dereliction of duty. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

The movie sucked but the soundtrack was pretty good.
Nine Inch Nails’ “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” wins the Grammy for Best Rock Song, honored for its lyrical and sonic impact as part of the Tron: Ares soundtrack and marking a major moment at the 2026 awards.

Good news: Electric Vehicles outsold petrol cars in the EU for the first time ever. Slowly the oil industry is losing, and we can make better choices. EVs when paired with good transit, and active mobility help reduce mobility's dependence on fossil fuels.

Remember when Harper was in office, Alberta......didn't get any pipelines.....they had a crashed oil prices after the US recession.
Now he's going on about separation issues in Quebec and Alberta, that never happens when CON's are in office. That's because CON's generally aren't in power!

I will be pissed off if development above/beside the Ship leads to its closure. Calgary has so few unique pubs and venues for music, just many soulless sports bars.
Regulars packed into the Ship & Anchor Friday, not just to catch a band or a game, but to voice concerns over a proposed residential development they fear could jeopardize one of #Calgary’s longest-running pubs.
