Happiest when out walking with the dog, cycling around Calgary’s amazing pathways, wandering around a local bookstore, or trying out a new vegetarian recipe.

456,365 #ForeverCanadian signatures (plus few dozen last minute arrivals). I’m told it’s the biggest petition in Canada’s history.
None of this would happen if not for thousands of volunteers and your love for Canada.🇨🇦
Thank you! This is Alberta’s and Canada’s victory.

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making).
The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US.
Wildfires & measles are raging.
And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

I do not understand the advice to 🇨🇦 candidates to not talk about Trump and instead talk about “cost of living”. Trump is the single biggest risk factor for rising prices and job losses in the months and years ahead.

I hope there’s at least some takeaway for everyone in every democracy (from this admittedly extreme case) that we don’t have the luxury of demanding perfection in every election, and sometimes you just have to vote for someone relatively close to your values when they’re able to stop someone worse.
