I didn’t realize I was addicted. But I came here almost a year ago and now that psychological weight has lifted.

It’s time to play, “Describe that Video!” This Hour Has 22 Minutes at its most blistering - and prescient. This was posted yesterday. But it couldn’t be more timely. Whether or not you can bear to watch “that” video today, you need to watch this one. #Minneapolis #CBC

It would be nice if Calgary Transit could move away from Twitter as their sole source of online customer service. Expecting teenagers especially to use that app is not good.

At the end of February, I have an episode about The Crazy Canucks ski team.
So putting it out there. If anyone knows one of them, or how to contact one of the Crazy Canucks, I would love to interview one or more of them for the episode.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

Calgary, our water system is in the RED ZONE. We need your help to conserve water! Ways that you can assist:

-Keep showers short, three minutes or less.
-Flush toilets only when necessary.
-Run dishwashers/laundry only when full

Thank-you, Calgary! These small actions make a big difference.

In 2025, my podcast, Alberta Unbound, celebrated its 5th anniversary and passed the 60,000 download mark. Since I am relatively new to Bluesky, and many of you are newish followers, I hope you will indulge me in a New Year’s Eve countdown of my 2025 episodes! #AlbertaUnbound #cdnpoli #abpoli

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history.

I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people.

Fascinating piece on Susie Wiles, who has "the gimlet eye of an alcoholic’s daughter"— always on edge, fearful of sudden danger, withdrawn from the chaos in order to survive.

Were the interviews her retribution for the ineffectiveness 47 imposes on her?

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.
