At tonight’s “consultation”…

When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.

Listen to the clip yourself…

It’s…

Telling.

This is bonkers!

A coal company resistant to public scrutiny complained to the minister of energy that scrutiny delayed their work…

And the AER CEO just cancelled the public hearing.

Absolutely not acceptable. Minister Loewen lied and lied again, and now we have proof.
elmeligisarah.bsky.social Sarah Elmeligi @elmeligisarah.bsky.social · Jun 16
Loewen defended cougar hunting expansion, saying decision was science based. FOIP documents prove decision wasn't supported w/ #science or thorough stakeholder #consultation.

So, this Minister lied:

❌in the House
❌to my direct questions
❌to Albertans

Email him & ask why: fp.minister@gov.ab.ca

The UCP is opening the door back up to coal mining on the Eastern Slopes, while ignoring the concerns of farmers, ranchers and residents.

These Albertans want to protect Alberta's number one resource: clean water.

A plastic bag drying rack I made out of some cherry scrap. The dowels can be assembled into holes in the base for storage. The knobs are 1” diameter and were purchased at Lee Valley but they have since been discontinued. The last photo is the drilling pattern for the base.

Timely reading from Sir Pratchett.
And then, after the last of the ember spits and crack-les, there is silence. And the watcher. Who turns, and says to someone in the dark- ness: YES. I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. And rides away.

Today we heard that Canadians are "killing Americans" and should drop the rhetoric. Trump referred to us as the "greatest state" and Mullen said that tariffs create "free and open markets." Lutnick said that we Canadians have "been leaning on the US economy."

Idiots.

I'll just leave this here:

How will the company ever recover from this pittance of a fine after they released tailings into the Smoky (and eventually Peace) River? /S

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

My first time making cinnamon buns. Not quite as good as Freson Brothers, but still good.
I didn’t have any milk for the glaze so I used sour cream (not sawdust ;)

So ironic that Canadian scientists were in this same spot during the Harper years. Canadians forget the damage Harper did to science in Canada and how many fled to seek jobs is more sane countries. Some fled to the US. Conservative and GOP rule is not good for science. When will we learn this?

The minister who called for LaGrange's removal may now be implicated in a separate swindle involving the same players, government documents show.

Dmytro Tyshetsky 4 dage "America, I have a question for you." You chose Donald Trump as your president. And today, your president picked up the phone and called the world's number one terrorist. Not to demand justice. Not to hold him accountable. But to talk. To negotiate. To treat him like a legitimate leader. So tell me how do you feel about that? Would you have accepted a president who called Bin Laden after 9/11? Would you have justified sitting down with ISIS? Because that's exactly what just happened. I've buried brothers because of Putin. I've seen civilians executed, children crushed under rubble, entire families wiped off the earth. And yet, Trump -your leader-just gave that monster a seat at the table. For three years, Ukraine has been fighting for survival, standing on the front line of freedom. The American people have stood with us, and I will always be grateful for that. But now, your president stands with our enemy. So I'll ask again-America, how do you feel about that?
