I am pretty sure that when Merv Leitch and Peter Lougheed first created the notwithstanding clause, they didn’t mean it to be deployed to bully and oppress literal school children. #ableg #abpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Alberta #notwithstandingclause

After her address yesterday, I wrote a letter to the premier without swear words. It took every ounce of reserve from the very pit of my sickened stomach.
Perhaps you could share your thoughts with her too.

As I just said on radio what is most alarming about Danielle Smith tape is not the attempted collusion with a foreign government to interfere in our election it's that she said Poilievre is "in sync" with "new direction" in America which is a brutal autocracy with a crashing economy 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

So the guy the UCP govt tried to get fired from his govt job because of his podcast criticizing the Premier had his podcast shut down by the guy who gave the Premier's staff sky box tickets to a Stanley Cup game last year? Nothing incredibly fishy illegal about that, I'm sure, right?

Really privileged to be captioning a fantastic documentary on basketball in Haida Gwaii, and its connection to the culture, Residential Schools, and their fight for land title.
It'll be on Crave. I've worked on a lot of First Nations stuff over the years but the basketball culture is new to me.

My rural vet office is adding $5.00 to everyone’s vet bill to pay for community members’ bills pets who can’t afford it right now (she already only charges cost if you can’t afford it). And you know what? No one is complaining.

With 2025 near, sharing a few pearls I *try* hard to live by in hopes they are helpful to you:
1. Always balance expectation with gratitude. It has the potential to transform your life and your mindset.
2. Workout in a way that is comfortable for you but do it every single day.
