Shocked, I’m not. The UCP are a joke.
So Alberta's latest proposed law would:

👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.

👉 Ban new political parties from using certain words in their names, including: 'conservative,' 'democratic,' 'liberal,' 'Republican,' and 'wild rose.'

I’m loving how Michael’s is getting raked over the coals online for their pricing and shady sales - when they removed the in-store price checkers, that was the end for me.

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

I have teared up multiple times this evening watching tributes to Colleen Jones. I’ve loved watching curling for 25 years now, and she was at her prime in the early 2000s.

They can defend themselves by not being useless twats.

Foreign actors my ass - this is 100% pissed off Albertans.
Premier Smith asked if there will be changes to recall act.

Says threshold won't change, but raises issues on how MLAs can defend themselves, fears that go fund me campaigns are being funded by foreign actors and that the AFL is bussing people into ridings to help campaigns.

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point

"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

Exactly how long is Tanya Fir’s nose after lying so hard in this statement?

Surprised she didn’t sign off on it with “Peace out Motherfuckers”.
And here's the UCP statement on the Transgender Day of Remembrance from Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women Tanya Fir.

What in the actual fuckery is this?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

When it comes to reading, I either:

a) don’t read anything for two months, or
b) read a book a night for a week straight.

There is no in between.

Why do the Canucks look like they’re actively avoiding taking a shot in OT? Scared to get to 20 shots?

Same guy must be reffing the Canada game as reffed the U SPORTS final on the weekend.

Annual reminder that Black Friday doesn’t actually exist in Canada, and if the only reason you’re buying something is because it’s a good deal, you don’t need it.

I’ve watched a lot of soccer on TV today where it looks like they’re playing in a snow globe.

Meanwhile in Calgary, no snow and 7C.

Why is that every time I go to the gas station, I’m surrounded by people who have never filled up their cars before?
