A public notice in the #Lethbridge Herald this AM from Australian 🇦🇺 company Northback on their intention to operate an open pit coal
mine in the Crowsnest Pass.

Protests and lawn signs won’t stop this.

Sign Corb Lund’s petition 🙏 but,
the ONLY way to stop this lunacy is to elect the NDP.

My Mom is 100 years old this week…

A letter from the King and Prime Minister of #Canada, a birthday 🎂 party with family and friends and Sunday church at St. Theodore’s #Anglican Taber #Alberta.

Although their dancing days are over, my parents never cease to amaze me.

Each October the needles on our larch turn colour, then drop and carpet the ground below in burnished gold.

My humble suggestion?

#Alberta Education rename themselves the Department of Pipelines and the ATA start calling teachers rig hands.

I voted in tbe municipal election in #Lethbridge #Alberta today.

A privilege I enjoy in #Canada.

The lovely kids at the local schools designed these stickers. 🫡

IMHO this is the level of government that has the biggest effect on our day to day lives…

….and the lowest turnout at the polls. 🤨

NDP leader Nenshi revving up the troops at Provincial Council in Red Deer this AM.

He’s a proven winner. 👍 👍

I’m looking forward to fighting the next #Alberta election with all these people….

….. an election that can’t come some enough IMO!

I was lucky enough to chat with Sue Foley the other night in #Lethbridge and watch her perform La Malagueña.

It was a virtuoso performance from the #Ottawa native.

I had forgotten that at one time Charo was one of the world’s best flamenco guitarist.

Stunning autumn colours today at the Peace Hills Park #discgolf course in Wetaskiwin #Alberta.

I designed and installed it in 2005 for the AB Seniors Games, now one of the best courses in #Canada? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The trees 🌲 have grown, mown fairways are tight; it’s a circuit that is relentlessly difficult.

We’ll be waiting and watching to see who gets to come to 🇨🇦.

Monkman is deliberately referencing artists such as American Benjamin West whose
Death of Wolfe at The National Gallery of #Canada in #Ottawa may be the most famous painting in Canadian history.

If you’re going to copy history paintings, West wouldn’t be the worst model.

Beautiful and BIG new paintings

It is a symbol of resistance and survival.

There are 10,000 signatures heading up to #Calgary today,
then on to #Edmonton where they will be compiled with the others
collected around #Alberta.

Well done #Lethbridge! 👍🏻 👍🏻

One month down and now, less
than a month to go.

Booked a two month cruise to Polynesia and Australia on Holland America’s Zaandamn today.

Yay! 🎉

There were other choices, notably Cunard; we will make the trans-Atlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 someday.

BTW #Disney, no longer a choice after canceling #JimmyKimmel.

Apart from the National War Memorial in Ottawa there are monuments, like these in the Yukon, all over Canada. 🍁

At the Battle of the Somme, they tucked their chins into their shoulders, like walking into a blizzard wind, and advanced directly into the German
machine guns.

For King and Country

“Faeries, come take me out of
this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like

JRR Tolkien in the gardens of Merton College @ox.ac.uk #Oxford.
#UK.

He died in 1973, so I would guess this photo was taken sometime in the late 1960s.

Brandon taking a solo last night on alto sax with local group ‘Midnight Channel’.

The kids are back at the University so, live #jazz is back for another season at The Owl 🦉in #Lethbridge #Alberta.

Next show with HB03 September 25

Dig it babies! 😎 😉

In what is likely a vain attempt at
improving historical literacy around the subject of The Middle East,
I suggest reading these two books together.

Of note, the rise of #antisemitism and the slaughter of Jewish men,women and children in #Europe during The First Crusade.

pg. 134 in The Silk Roads

A modern take on Chronos Devouring His Son by 18th century Spanish artist Francisco Goya. 👇🏻

Both images equally terrifying.

Doing the same dumb thing over and over, then expecting different results is one way of defining UCP insanity.

The people of #Lethbridge said #NoToCoal 4 years ago, yet here we are again.

🤦‍♂️

Can we just give NorthBack $141 million and ask them to go away?

Cheaper for #Alberta in the long run.

Yes! ✌️ + ❤️ + 🍷 😉
