So yeah, January rain is a thing. #yegwx #yeg
January 30th isn't on the chart yet, but it's our first rain this month.
2025 had 3 rainy days, and 1 or 2 isn't unusual.
They were maybe a bit less common before the 60s...

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:
CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!
“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”
This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Professional news/programming notes: last summer, Postmedia asked if I'd like to cover the Olympics. I said "absolutely haha but also this is fake right?"
Turns out it is not and on Monday I'll be flying to Venice (??????), then making my way to the mountains to cover curling for an entire month.

Bicycles were the original liberation technology before they were rebranded as "toys for children" to justify forcing everyone into a car.
Cities designed around people nurture well-being, making mobility safer, cheaper, more accessible, and supportive of physical and mental health.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

The administration story is that Liam Ramos mother refused to take her son.
In actuality she was inside with another child. If she opened the door they would all be detained. She literally had to make Sofie’s choice.

On multiple fronts, the administration is weaponizing the power of law enforcement, from the FBI to ICE to the DOJ, to target blue states and counties and coerce them into taking actions that benefit the administration and punish those who don’t comply.

This is not a "possibility," it is very, very obviously what's currently happening. The only reason people in power want to view it as a possibility rather than an ongoing fact is that they are scared of the implications. If it's the latter, they have to *do* something. History calls. It's scary!
"The most disturbing possibility is that the president is creating a militia which answers only to himself ... Abroad, from El Salvador to the Philippines, would-be despots often turn the army and the police against their people in the name of keeping order." www.economist.com/leaders/2026...
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?
