I really, REALLY wish Alberta voters would stop treating politics like it's a sport or a gang war.

Choosing your team/colours and sticking to it IS STUPID.

Seems hmallick.bsky.social is on a few Anti-trans lists.

Found out after checking clearsky to see she had me blocked.

Wild how Premier Smith’s government can increase the gifts they can receive, change the oversight of LAPP, play with AIMCO & add 9 referendum questions to the next ballot all on their own yet needs overextended time to ponder a referendum question 400,000 Albertans already agreed to.

If you haven't already signed the #WaterNotCoal petition, an official canvasser has volunteered to be there!

Aw shucky darn 😝

Bookmarking to read as this level of cooperation on the left to not shoot each other in the foot sounds rare and inspiring 😂

Labour Day was the 1st listening for me. Seeing them play the "Save The Stein Valley" music festival with 54 40, Sarah McLachlan in the 80s on MUCH just inspired me to love Canadian music more.
Maybe the kids need to hear some Rankin Family or GBS, maybe Irish Descendants.

A tightly cropped Hubble view of a vast star-forming region known as the Trifid Nebula. The top left is bright blue. Brown and amber colors run from top right through the center in irregular, overlapping lines to the bottom-center. At bottom right, the view is almost black. Tiny, amber-colored stars appear throughout the scene. Toward the left there is a prominent brown shape that looks like a head with two horns. The left horn points left and is wavy. The right horn is triangular and points up. The brown dust continues, flowing down, as if along a back, and up toward the top right. A prominent line, about the same length as the left horn, appears below the middle of the body, and changes from orange to red. A small, separate semi-transparent pillar is left of the head. A few slightly larger, blue foreground stars with four diffraction spikes appear sprinkled throughout.

Hubble marks its 36th anniversary with a shimmering close-up of star-formation in the Trifid Nebula! Tiny, actively forming stars are eating and spewing material all around. (One at top left in brown, and two fiery red jets.) Explore it all: https://news.stsci.edu/4cvi5jL

Pro-tip to the Water Not Coal petition campaigners:

People do not understand nor care about protecting "the watershed".

You need to say " protect our drinking water" and "protect our farmland" and "protect our fish and wildlife" .

Seems weird to skeet about inclusion while forgetting the Alt Text 🤷

Leaving off alt text but quoting a serial sexual harasser is reason enough to unfollow this account.

Inclusion of people with disabilities is what I studied, employment inclusion is the field I worked in, educational
inclusion is what I taught for 20 years at MacEwanU.

This, premier Smith, is not how it works. Inclusion is not earned or granted, it’s a right!
You failed!

Blanket rezoning under fire as Calgary election season kicks off | The Sprawl The eternal question: Where should growth go?

A piece from the @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social to remind folks in Calgary that the repeal of the housing strategy was never about housing, it was always about votes. www.sprawlcalgary.com/blanket-rezo...

Bunch of dudes on city council are now taking remedial housing policy courses on the internet. 2/2

Gathering, by Maria Dunn 11 track album

Last week was the 10th anniversary of my #Junos2017 nominated album Gathering (released April 2016). Huge gratitude to all involved in celebrating that musical evening onstage at Festival Place Theatre in Sherwood Park in April 2016!
Listen/download album:

Never will be with Breakdown, they simply refuse to take action on it.

Or in Alberta we pay taxes anyway, which the province pockets (?) and funds private services in a blatant violation of the Canada Health Act, and possibly our Charter rights.

You don't own a retail store, you're golden.

There’s a brand new and very informative episode of Dr. Brian Goldman’s cbc radio program/podcast on the pitfalls of private, for-profit medical tests such as “full-body MRIs.”

You suspend Palestinian accounts.

This is Alberta. The UCP could literally go door-to-door robbing people at gunpoint and before they're halfway down the block, the victims come running after them with the kids' piggybank.

To show that Alberta can stand on its own 🤭🤣

Spring Fundraiser 2026 Events - Read - CKUA Get ready for another exciting set of CKUA Fall Fundraiser in-person events. We have live performances, a vinyl dance party, live broadcasts and even a hootenanny!

Apr 17–26 2026 CKUA #radio Spring fundraiser. I'm delighted to stop by Grant Stovel's Alberta Morning show on Apr 24 to chat about my upcoming concerts + to express, as always, my huge gratitude to Grant +all at CKUA for their fab support for independent musicians like me!

There's a lot more words in that picture than what your description lists.

Albertans.....

It's not going to stop until you stop playing along.

Elections are about people choosing their representatives, not politicians choosing their voters. Yet that is what the UCP is planning. It is planning to deliberately disenfranchise urban voters. Red Deer and Lethbridge would not exist as autonomous political entities. Calgary/Edmonton hurt too.

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

🎶"I'm the cult of personality!"🎶

Will the NDP ensure that their government can pursue legal action against UCP, former PC MLAs and O&G executives who enabled oil and gas companies to avoid well reclamation and cleanup costs—so that Alberta’s future generations aren’t left footing the bill?
