The Alberta government is so gross on so many levels. Absence of ethics, no respect for rule of law, and regularly dismisses & disrespects expertise.

Television going on mute. Commentators are doing boxing commentary instead of hockey play-by-play.
The bunch of them can barely fit in the penalty box. 🏒
You’ve all heard of biopsy. But what happens after?

Congratulations, Oilers. One game at a time. Same thing for the Canadiens.
More important question - who was sitting in Sam Mraiche's box at the Oilers game tonight? Inquiring minds and all...
Super fun! Hold on Edmonton!🏒
And now it is fun, again. Oh my.
And then, just like that, it is not fun at all.
Okay, this feels very fun Oilers. Continue.
Good singing, Edmonton. 🎶
Oh Jesus, Blue Jays. Bases loaded and Sosa strikes out. Sigh. ⚾️
Tracks. ⚾️🤣
Raptors about to get the participation award for their playoff run so far. Ugh.
Raptors having an ugly start against the Cavs in game 2. Sigh.

Quote: "It’s about protecting Poilievre’s ego and re-living his happier days, when he was riding high in the polls and pontificating about everything from inflation to cryptocurrency in opposition to a PM he could demean as just “a drama teacher.”"
Pierre Poilievre's insecurities are showing.
As Premier Danielle Smith appears poised to bring permantn DST to Alberta, a reminder that Albertans voted against adopting Daylight Saving Time in a referendum in 2021.
Calgary and Edmonton drove the the 'No' vote in Alberta's 2021 referendum on permanent daylight savings The question — Do you want Alberta to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is summer hours, eliminating the need to change our clocks twice a year? — was narrowly defeated by a vote of 50.2% to 49.8% provincewide. But the vote breakdown varied by geography. Source: Elections Alberta Chart: Robson Fletcher, Data & Storytelling Strategist
Albertans narrowly rejected permanent daylight saving time in a 2021 referendum.
But today Premier Danielle Smith revealed the province *is* going ahead with it anyway.
Opposition in the referendum was strongest in the biggest cities, while support was stronger in smaller towns and rural areas.
Of course, we *did* have a referendum on this.
In 2021.
Ordered by the UCP government.
And Albertans voted 'No'.
The website is still up.
It says: "The results of the referendum are binding. Alberta will continue changing their clocks twice a year."
You might win this math.

- 4 pills for side-effects of the one cancer pill
- 1 injection to deal with side-effects from previous cancer pill
- 4 creams/ointments to deal with side-effects from previous cancer pill
My custom designed medication list is a trip. 🤣
Quote: "Think about that – 159 years since Confederation and not one sitting U.S. president issues a direct challenge to Canada’s existence. Now it happens more often than garbage day."
This was a very satisfying read, including the wonderfully named, 'rage gauge'.
Blue Jays. Ugh. Dang. ⚾️
That's what we're talking about Blue Jays! Yes! ⚾️
It continues to be very hard to live in Alberta, sigh.
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
With good quotes from @serene.pixeltree.ca.
Calgary City Council now has ~ 12 weeks to come up with a replacement. None have spoken articulately on potential solutions or the reception of those solutions by the full plurality of Calgarians.
Lots of talk for over a year. Less talk, more do. 1/
