And no. It is not immigrants or drug users fault. Stop. The blame is with the people at the top, not your preferred scapegoats at the bottom.

Don't go to the Fort Macleod, Alberta emergency room. Don't go to the Lethbridge, Alberta emergency room. Don't go to any Alberta emergency room. Don't go to Alberta. Doctor sends your kid straight to E.R. with a head and neck injury and needing an x-ray? Bottom of triage for you.

The first country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands in 2001. So 2005, definitely makes Canada an early adopter and global leader. Yet, we can’t be complacent. Especially, when the notwithstanding clause has been weaponized against the queer and trans community.

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

An extremely talented graphic artist (who is here on the fediverse but wishes to remain anonymous, THANK YOU FRIEND) helped me put these space-junk-for-kids pamphlets together! Here's the version that shows the page order as you would read it
Panel 1 says "Did you find SPACE JUNK?" with a photo of a black and white dog sleeping next to a piece of space junk from the 2024 Ituna SpaceX debris fall. 

Panel 2 says "Today, there are thousands of satellites in space going around the Earth. Satellites help us know the weather, get internet access, drive tractors and cars, and learn more about how our planet works. When satellites are old, they get burned up in Earth’s atmosphere. Once in a while, pieces fall on the ground, and we call that space junk. Saskatchewan is a great place to look for space junk because of all the big farms we have here." There is an image of crowded dots in orbit around Earth.

Panel 3 says "Farmers found many pieces of space junk near Ituna and one piece near Hodgeville in 2024. Space junk might look like a melted piece of a car, or a
piece of melted metal with burned black cloth attached. It’s much more likely to be space junk if you find it in the middle of a field far away from a road, possibly on top of snow or growing plants." There's a picture of several large pieces from the Ituna debris fall with the text "Can you spot the kitty?" with a brown cat hiding among the debris pieces. 

Panel 4 says "If you are young and think you found space junk, first tell a grown-up. If the grown-up thinks the space junk might not be safe for any reason, call the RCMP non-emergency number: 306-310-7267
If it’s safe, take a photo and send it to: spacejunk@outerspaceinstitute.ca
We are curious astronomy teachers, and we will help you learn about what you found, and get in touch with the proper authorities.

They don't tell you this, but you can order custom lawn signs online and put them up at local playgrounds and just create a regularly scheduled meet-up. I imagine this could work with other activities too

Make. Ice. It doesn’t have to be in cubes if you don’t have ice cube trays. Clean out your freezer, anything that’s old either eat it or trash it. Fill clean zip top bags, silicone molds, PLASTIC bottles with lids with potable water. Fill the freezer. Remove as needed. Zip top ice will break up.

my approach to pet insurance, after having 30+ pets for 30+ years 1. stick approx $100 a month(or what you can afford) in a HISA (high interest savings account) 2. leave it there as long as you can. pay for minor vet bills out of checking if possible 3. tap the HISA when vet bills try to kill you

One of the elementary students bought her #book and loved it so much she read it an uncountable number of times, and still owns the same copy. Now grown, the student looked her up to send her a thank you, only to find she passed away. Should the student send a letter to Betty's family anyways?

Ugh. I spelled Blackfeet wrong in the alt text and I am pretty sure it would be really confusing listening to it be read out loud. Sorry about that. Blackfeet Nation is south of Alberta, part of the Niitsitapi or Blackfoot Confederacy.

We thought we hired a graphic designer named Al. Turns out it's a scam? Anyways doing our art in-house now.
White serif text on a green province of Alberta shaped background. Text says "official Alberta info". Style is scribbled. Some would say childlike, others would say high art or sophisticated modern commentary. Who are we to judge. Saskatchewan is yellow, because thats the color I remember when I drove through Saskatchewan. BC is dark brown, because the trees are brown and the mountains make it dark really early. The mountains are grey. The North West Territories are purple like an aurora borealis. I have never been to N.W.T. The U.S.A. is black, both because it is Niitsitapi Blackfeer territory and because otherwise I dont want to think about U.S.A.
