A closed loop
Why women don't have the luxury of "sticking to sports", Michael Porter Jr.'s dangerous ignorance, and the recent weaponized misogyny at W games.

WARNING!!!

It’s been brought to our attention that a fake website exists, misleading that the #ForeverCanadian petition can be signed online. With a laptop, they’re visiting senior homes.

Official @ElectionsAB petition must be signed on paper and this badge must be presented.

A thing folks of Battle River Crowfoot might be overlooking is if PP gets voted in in the bi-election but loses his leadership review BRC is going back to the ballot box next spring because there’s no way Pollievre holds the seat if he loses Stornaway.
Bonnie Critchley — a rookie politician running as an Independent against Pierre Poilievre, a gay woman running in rural Alberta, and her candidacy raising a vile ruckus online — is an unlikely giant killer.

Real estate should not be an asset class. Get ownership into the hands of direct users for both residential and commercial as much as possible.
There is something that a lot of people seem to leave out when they discuss the housing crisis.

“Since Trump’s election, CBS has been systematically abandoning any pretense of journalistic independence…Colbert’s cancellation isn’t about ratings or changing media habits. It’s about silencing one of the few remaining voices on network television willing to consistently challenge Trump.”

ICYMI, new op-ed from @jacobdawang.com: rolling back zoning reforms would be a mistake.

"That means more people priced out of mature neighbourhoods, gatekeeping Edmonton’s best neighbourhoods so that rowhouses look like single-family homes."

Opinion: Rolling back pro-density zoning restricts housing choice
When we restrict housing choice, we're not preserving neighbourhood character: we're enforcing neighbourhood exclusion.

@zachlowenba.bsky.social great having you back on pods again. I’m surprised more people aren’t talking Carlisle after games. He is coaching his ass off and MD is a good coach on the other side but Carlisle has been worth 5 points a game.

I emailed MLA Guthrie today thanking him for standing up for Albertans. I also emailed my MLA asking them to follow his lead and get distance from this sinking ship and sit independently.

Maybe others want to do this as well?

I built a road bike this winter to learn more about the mechanics of them. Pedalled it for the first time last night. I don’t know that I’ve been more satisfied by a ride. There are certainly better bikes but this one is mine.

Where is the conservative outrage for the completely non conservative government. Aside from actively cutting supports to people that need it this government wastes more money than any prob government I’ve seen.
