Thanks for coming out last night to celebrate some very fine writing in the form of 'The End of the World As We Know It', with the fantastic @cjdwriter.bsky.social and @premeemohamed.com .
Check our events calendar for when we'll have these two (and many other great local authors) in store again.

Good question...kinda obvious tho...
Danielle Smith was elected to a Calgary school board. It had to be dissolved.
Smith became the leader of the WRP. It imploded.
Smith joined the PC party. It no longer exists.
What do you think she's going to do Alberta?

We are at this place. Appalling.
Danielle Smith’s Separatism Panel is about using tax-payer dollars to campaign on issues Albertans have already said they don’t support - with a HEALTHY sprinkle of xenophobia - to distract from her failure to create jobs, address cost of living, and deliver healthcare & education.
