Apparently not only do humidifiers have gears, but there’s a fird gear now.
I’m think no more “giv’er” or “send it”. We just skip straight to FIRD GEAR!

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?
An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.
I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.

We need to attack and lock out Alberta teachers to try and hide the fact that my UCP gov't has spent so much taxpayer money on private for-profit independent charter schools that most people can't afford.

Stopping just short of calling Danielle Smith’s vaunted “critical turning point” of a bitumen pipeline through northern BC a pipe dream…
BC Premier David Eby made it clear that Smith’s aspiration funded by taxpayers is threatening real projects paid for by investors.

If Canadians, travelling domestically, want to use the "good" security line at the airport, they need a NEXUS card, even if they aren't going to the US. And they need the blessing of Donald Trump's Homeland Security apparatus to get one. I'm calling on Canada to end this absurdity. #Canada #NEXUS
