Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

Hi PM @mark-carney.bsky.social, Calgary Climate Hub here. Judging by the responses to this post, this is a REALLY popular idea amongst Canadians. We believe that in 2025 #NationBuilding means #Electrification, not building out more #OilAndGas infrastructure. Happy to chat! #cdnpoli #ClimateChange

COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.

Sunday morning casual bike rides with one of my kids are the best. We do a task and then he detours us back home ish. Today was a detour for smoothies and McDonalds.

On Sept. 1, 1905, Alberta became a province along with Saskatchewan.
One of the first tasks for the new province was to choose an official capital.
Two main options were considered, Edmonton and Calgary.
This is the story of how Edmonton became the capital.

Color-tinted historical photo of Jasper Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, looking east, featuring a wide dirt street lined with early 20th-century buildings, including shops with awnings. Horse-drawn carts and a few pedestrians, including a man in a suit walking in the center, are visible. Utility poles line the street, and the sky is depicted with scattered clouds. The text "EDMONTON, ALTA, JASPER AVENUE, LOOKING EAST" is printed at the top.

If you’ve ever struggled to learn to ride a bike, try ditching the pedals and focusing on balance first. It’s a simple trick that works for kids—and adults too! 🤓🚲

Here’s a handy guide to get you started: www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

How to tell a Cooper's Hawk from a Sharp-shinned Hawk. An oldie.
A four-panel comic called Coop or Sharpie: A Guide. In panel 1, a cooper's hawk is shown, with a pale nape and rounder tail. A sharp-shinned hawk is shown with a small, rounder head, thinner legs, and a more squared tail. In panel 2, a coop is shown holding a sharpie marker, next to a sign where it has written KEEP YOUR BIRD FEEDERS FULL OR ELSE. In panel 3, an immature coop is shown, with thin, darker streaks on its breast. An immature sharpie is shown with rough, lighter streaks on its breast. In panel 4, an immature adult coop is shown making fart noises in its wingpits. An immature adult sharpie is shown saying the word "butts" repeatedly.

In the same week that Israel waged war on Iran, it targeted and cut off communications systems in Gaza.

What might unfold under the cloak of a communications blackout?
