Did you know that Elf has a lot of Canadian connections?
The Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver became the North Pole, a haunted hospital in Coquitlam was used for interior sets and even the famous Buddy burp was Canadian!
This is the story of Elf and Canada!

There seem to be 2 general opinions abt the MOU:

AB conservatives: The MOU gives AB everything we wanted

LPC supporters: MOU is great because Carney got pragmatic concessions from AB, but don't worry no pipeline will be built

Anyone else: The MOU gives AB conservatives everything they wanted

This is a very concerning story. Cold Lake First Nation is living in 3rd world conditions. They have been completely frozen out by Mark Carney/Danielle Smith's plan to drive a 400 km pipeline carbon capture facility on their land.
This won't end well Mark.

Carney-Smith deal will bring carbon capture to Cold Lake. They don't want it
Alberta First Nations are being shut out of a sprawling carbon capture and storage project on their traditional territories that is a key part of Thursday's Alberta-Ottawa pipeline deal, chiefs say.

BC Premier @dave_Eby, BC Energy Minister @adriandix declined invitations to be interviewed about the lack of a business case for an AB to BC pipeline.

Do you find that odd? I find that odd.

Retweeting to watch later.

I find, ironically, that it’s those who most vociferously proclaim their critical thinking skills who are most devoid of them.

Raise your hand if you knew that MLAs had the ability to pull voter records to use to smear people like this. Even we did not know this was possible.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.

Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.

I just called the premier’s office to express my opposition to Bill 9 and the use of the notwithstanding clause. Wait time was about 5 minutes.

PLEASE PLEASE consider calling with your feedback. All comments are being forwarded to the premier’s communications team.

Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

Seeing so much misinformation out there related to solar geomagnetic storms... Seemed like a good opportunity to write about another common bit of misinformation - the myth that modern global warming is being caused by the sun (TL;DR it's NOT the sun, it's us). Link in next post...
