From my wife: theory - all songs are better if you replace the word girl with squirrel. This was the first thing that came to mind. #80s

Some fun with Nova in the back yard.

Having both a main floor and a ground floor is very confusing. #Foothils #AHS

Hey, neighbour!

As we head into the fifth day of public hearings on citywide rezoning, here is the breakdown of the speaker stances as I've heard them:

✔️Repeal: 118/213
👍Keep: 73/213
🚧Modify the bylaw: 15/213
📄Neutral: 7/213

Thank you to everyone that has come to speak before council so far.

Where did you get that image? I can't find it on CBC, and I can't find any separatists claiming 3m signatures. Also what officials say only 70k are valid, signatures haven't been submitted yet as far as I know. Seems like fake news.

Speak Truth to Power. Calgarians can register to speak in these public sessions at Calgary.ca/publicsubmissions.

‘Yes to fields of wheat, no to fields of iron’: how the world’s greenest country soured on solar In Denmark, the spread of solar panels in rural areas could play a deciding factor in the national elections on Tuesday

If even Denmark has to deal with this sort of pushback then I feel less bad about it here in Alberta. I wonder why it hasn't been an issue in Texas.

From the DM’s…

The federal funding for the Encampment Program at the DI in #YYC has been removed.

The encampment program had one of the highest rates of rehousing and residents are reportedly being given until the end of March to leave the program.

Why Alberta’s separation from Canada is almost impossible | About That YouTube video by CBC News

The one thing this video doesn't cover is the cost to the Alberta Economy if this gets anywhere close to real. Montreal took a serious hit when the separation vote was close in the 90s. Why would it be different in Alberta?

Clearly fake news, Chuk Norris doesn't die. He killed the Grim Reaper and is now the new GR.

Ok I would love self driving cars, but I want non car centric urban design more.

Alberta power policies trigger $408M devaluation to ATCO's wind and solar division, company says | CBC News The Calgary-based giant warned of "legal recourse" if province doesn't alter reforms that harm renewable projects.

The opposite of what woke places like Texas are doing. #Alberta

Doesn't line up with the "we need to get projects going to build Canada" rhetoric.

Why is Prime Minister Mark Carney Putting $500 Million in Federal Cycling Funds in Jeopardy? @velocanadabikes.bsky.social is sounding a very big alarm.

I'm at Lord Beaverbrook High School in Calgary for a band concert. Nibbling is playing. Feels weird like when Sobeys first came to Alberta or that short time when there was a Pizza Delight in Calgary. #NewBrinswick

In 2025, the UCP Govt spent only 1/3 of the allocated public #health budget.

Meanwhile we just had our deadliest flu season on record, with 250 deaths & steadily declining vaccination rates since 2022, when Danielle Smith became Premier.

They are destroying public healthcare.

(S+) Kanada: Separatisten in Alberta - diese Trump-Fans wollen raus aus Kanada Separatisten wollen die reiche Ölprovinz Alberta von Kanada abspalten und bekommen Zuspruch von der US-Regierung. Wer sind die Abtrünnigen – und können sie das Land zerlegen?

If you don’t think that separatism is not causing Alberta reputational and investment damage, think again.

Germany’s leading magazine highlights the instability.
