Friends, if you must assign a diagnosis to Trump and Musk (I don't recommend it), may I suggest calling them megalomaniacs? It's an outdated term in psychology, so you won't be stigmatizing entire groups of people at least. It's also probably closer to accurate than the armchair diagnoses I see.

Plus it should be obvious that hockey knows zero homophobia in the Letterkenny Cinematic Universe.

That actually makes sense. Truly nothing makes more sense than the homoerotic hockey progression from Letterkenny to Shoresy to Heated Rivalry.
Heated Rivalry really is that good. I cried multiple times!!! The nice hockey boys!!! I somehow missed entirely that the co-developer of Letterkenny is the showrunner????

The Garneau Safeway is installing digital price markers on all their shelves.
Is #yeg getting surge pricing?

The tags are really tiny and kinda hard to read, too.

1/17 I finally decided to search the released Epstein files. I was mostly interested in reading about Steve Bannon's relationship with Epstein (the word "close" doesn't seem to be suffient a descriptor) but because I'm Canadian I decided to see if the Epstein had connections to thos country.

'In 2025, fatalities on Calgary roads hit a 10-year high, with the city recording 15 pedestrian deaths.

"We did see an increase overall last year, so to see the year start at this volume is definitely concerning for how the rest of it is going to go," Shelby said.'

Gratitude. Seva. Hard work. A commitment to making life better for the people around me.

All the values I learned from family long before I entered public life.

Today always reminds me of where it all started.
Happy Family Day, Alberta.

When I wrote a book about cats and fascism I didn’t think it would end up being translated into multiple languages and sold around the world. Or that it would be an international best seller.
Always bet on yourself.
Actually, scratch that.
Cats. Always bet on cats.
