The final days of the Alberta Legislature’s Spring 2025 session pissed me off. I rolled up my sleeves right after and started a research project.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ticket presales aren’t real ticket sales. They’re a test market to determine demand to set Platinum pricing.
That’s why you don’t see GA or good lowers. Those are held back for the custies.

"Stop The Hate" means stop ALL of the hate. Yes, all of it. Even the hate you have for people who are harmful. Only love restores our humanity. Only love slays the demon.
Accountability IS love. Love your enemies by never letting them off the hook.

There are good people still in government.
How do we know?
After our episode on the skybox network, we received a number of documents.
Today’s Globe & Mail report is prompting us to release one.
If authentic, they show direct govt intervention on behalf of ASG.

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

The Bike Gang rides every friday, starting from the soldiers' memorial in calgary. It's a regular opportunity to reflect on those who've given their lives to prevent the abuses of fascism from continuing. All their sacrifices would not have been necessary, if people had taken a stand earlier.
