Quietly creating on Treaty 7, Canada. 🇨🇦

This is the Alberta my fellow British Columbians warned me about when I moved to this province over 20 years ago. I’m at least grateful it took this long to manifest. I’m going to focus on the @lukaszukab.bsky.social win to help me get through staying here awhile longer.

Not impressed with this new/old way of voting but now I have clarity on the forms: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Why Alberta voters filled out forms at the polls — and how the information will be used | CBC News
Municipalities are now provincially mandated to create and maintain permanent electors registers, or lists of eligible voters.

Interestingly enough, there is now a recount in Ward 12. CBC stating tonight that there were “sufficient rejected ballots… to affect the result of the election.”

So, we watched the poll clerk fill out the form and then put in a pile with others. Neither I nor my husband were asked to sign that form - does that mean our votes are invalid?! (36 minutes in line). @jlisayoung.bsky.social

SE Calgary: approx. 40ish people ahead of us and 36 minutes. 🙂

One reason to be glad I live in Calgary. 😂

They have time to write that up, but not update the 1985 Alberta Visual Arts curriculum… 🙄

Thank you for this. I’m originally from Kamloops, grew up around Ponderosa pines… and you captured the essence of the BC interior perfectly. ❤️

After today, I can no longer ❤️ your slug art, as beautiful as they are. 🤩 It would be blasphemous to the bucket load of slugs who met their demise this morning. Looks like hostas are more important to me after all. 🥺🐌

Still bothering me and I must comment that I feel this is a further affront to visual art education in Alberta. Not that I showed my kids some of the images from here, but, taking the award from my own 1985 high school art teacher home and wondering where culture in AB is headed.

Thank you! I’m fairly new to dahlias and this is interesting!

Thank you so much for the share. There are some new titles I’m going to check out! Here are a few I use throughout the year (grades 1-4) Just picked up the game this summer for sub days/filling in the gaps. Have a great school year! 💫
