I genuinely love that Heated Rivalry has become a national source for pride. So much so that the tourism boards for Canada, Ottawa, and Kamloops (as well as Langara College) are fighting for the affection of Hudson Williams / Shane Hollander.

I haven’t seen gas in Calgary fall below one dollar per litre since the time before COVID. It genuinely was shocking to see driving up to the pump yesterday.

J'ai été époustouflé de voir hier le prix de l'essence passer sous la barre du dollar le litre à Calgary. Je n'avais pas vu ça en Alberta depuis avant la pandémie.

Whatever the politics regarding vaccines in this province. I still found some time in my day to get my flu shot and COVID boosters. (Although it still sucks Albertans have to pay for them now)

Malgré sa politisation en Alberta, j'ai reçu mon vaccin contre la grippe et ma dose de rappel contre la COVID pour cette année.

It was heartening to learn that teens in the Calgary neighbourhood in Falconridge, are showing solidarity with the brave teen Evan Li, through some much needed good trouble. If Mr. Li never had any political ambitions in the past, he definitely has a strong future for him in government.

It was Pride yesterday in Calgary. It is also close to back-to-school. Working at a library, it angers me that rather than increasing classroom sizes, the Alberta government decided it was more important to ban books from public schools for being queer content. It shows how Pride matters in Alberta.

Hier, c'était la Fierté à Calgary, et la rentrée approche à grands pas. En tant qu'employé de bibliothèque, je suis révolté par la décision du gouvernement albertain d'interdire les livres LGBT+ dans les bibliothèques des écoles. Cette politique démontre que la Fierté est plus importante que jamais.

To think that over twenty years ago, LGBT couples in Canada could not get legally married. In Alberta, we had to (shamefully) wait until the federal government passed the Civil Marriage Act, which legalised same-sex marriage across the land. How far we have come as a society and a culture!

Quand on pense qu'il y a plus de vingt ans, les personnes de même sexe ne pouvaient pas se marier légalement au Canada. Peu de lois ont autant transformé la société et la culture canadiennes que la Loi sur le mariage civil. Quel immense progrès notre pays a accompli !

Happy birthday my cherished Canada. Over its illustrious history, we constructed a country that proudly sees itself as a cultural mosaic. A nation of nations – rooted in tolerance, fairness, diversity, democracy, and human rights. Never the fifty-first of anything. The true north strong and free.

Bonne fête à ma patrie chérie, le Canada. Au cours de son illustre histoire, on a construit un pays qui se définit fièrement comme une mosaïque culturelle. Une nation de nations – fondée dans la tolérance, l'équité, la diversité, la démocratie et les droits de la personne. Vive le Canada libre.

J'ai précommandé la Switch 2 fin avril, le premier jour des précommandes. Et ce matin, vers 1h30, j'ai enfin reçu la console. Je suis arrivé au centre commercial vers 22h00 pour sa sortie à minuit. Heureusement, mon ami proche Jihoon m'a tenu compagnie pendant près de trois heures et demie.

The recent Australian and Canadian federal elections demonstrate just how Trump is reviled among the United States’ allies. After his inauguration, the incumbent Labor and Liberal governments were to lose to their conservative oppositions. In three months, the narrative flipped for the status quo.

En comparant les récentes élections fédérales australiennes et canadiennes, on peut clairement voir comment l’investiture de Trump a modifié la viabilité politique des gouvernements de centre-gauche et de centre respectivement en Australie et au Canada.

Also worth highlighting. This grear zinger by Althia Raj @althiaraj.bsky.social to a liberal partisan's political commentary : "...and also Arif, pretty soon people won't be able to vote, so you don't need to convince them to vote for you!"

Rewatching the CBC Canadian federal election results and I stumbled on this funny (and underappreciated) joke by David Cochrane @davidwcochrane.bsky.social : "...to the delta of 17 that they need, and it might actually include Delta, which is a seat they hold in the Lower Mainland."

What a difference a decade has made on my political preferences. I was on the extreme, progressive end on social issues when I was 18, to a moderate, centrist at the age of 28. Despite this, I am still a diehard social democrat on socioeconomic issues. The champagne socialist legacy lives on.

C'est intéressant de voir comment mes opinions sur les questions sociales ont évolué, passant de progressiste à centriste modéré en l'espace d'une décennie. Heureusement, je suis toujours un social-démocrate sur les questions socio-économiques, que j'aie 18 ou 28 ans.

Since I could vote, I’ve always voted New Democrat. Whether provincial or federal, my values and beliefs always leaned to the centre-left. However, Trump’s bellicosity has me blushing red. I switched my vote for the Liberals, because I think they have the best chance of defending Canada.

C’est la première fois que je ne vote pas néo-démocrate lors d'une élection – que ce soit au niveau provincial ou fédéral, je me suis toujours aligné sur le centre-gauche. Mais cette fois, mes politiques rougissent, et j’ai choisi le Parti libéral. C’est le meilleur choix pour arrêter Trump.

What an endearing moment of political consensus. Whether a Grit, a Tory, a Dipper, or a Bloquiste, we can unite under a shared hatred of American strawberries. #leadersdebate

It's nearly midnight in Alberta, and the threat of American tariffs becomes more and more a reality. I'm quickly realising how difficult it'll be to buy Canadian – or, at the very least, avoid American. The stickers at my local supermarket even throw me off.
