Amazing group of brave trans and gender fluid kids standing up to Alberta UCP oppression and use of the notwithstanding clause today with many allies. My favourite sign: “more Santa Claus, less notwithstanding clause”

I always #run once for those I've known who've died.
"Imagine, when a human dies, the soul misses the body...
... it moves through the universe trying to describe
how a body trembles..."
Lines from a #poem called 'Tincture' by Andrea Gibson.
Worth a read.

Great summary of the current state of the United Conservative Party:
“What we are seeing in Alberta right now isn’t random.
It’s a gov’t trying to survive by polarizing its way forward.
Not by fixing healthcare.
Not by improving education.
Not by protecting rights.”

Wake up Alberta rural municipalities.
Better a wind or solar farm as a going concern rather than dead-beat oil and gas operators that won't pay their taxes or surface lease payments.

💰 Rural Alberta earned $70M in tax revenue from wind & solar in 2025 — funding roads, emergency services & recreation.
But a provincial moratorium has stalled future growth, costing municipalities $84M/year in lost revenue.

Happened to speak to a peds nurse this wknd who said lots of 5-10 year experienced nurses are leaving the profession. If the current state is driving them out with burnout, how can 'dual pay'—which competes for the same scarce staff—possibly help? It will only speed up the public system's decline.
Take a listen

Had an interesting debate with a consultant from Montreal, telling me what I see every day on the frontlines in AB isn't really as bad as I think... and if it is then allowing more HCWs to leave hospitals will fix it...

My first published story was in The Western Producer in 1985.
It took 40 years, but this is my best sentence:
"Democracy dies with a shrug, not a coup"
