It’s a great song. Sorry I didn’t check my notifications sooner, I would have reposted this instead of my own. It’ll be great to play it at our rally this weekend. Be well!

Speaking of the upcoming July 4th weekend. I wish all my American friends and family a happy and safe one. On that note Bryan Adams released a new song that I’m sure your not so illustrious leader will just love. Enjoy! #Happy4th #Never51 #BryanAdams #CanadianMusic youtu.be/LyyFIbaU45w?...

We’re rallying at the corner of 13th Avenue and Trans Canada Way in Medicine Hat once again, on Saturday July 4th from 11am, till 12pm If you’re passing through, come join us. #NoToSeparation #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #CorruptCare #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent
Photo of a protest sign which reads “Welcome to Alberta! Where the odour of UCP Corruption is Strong! And Nothing is Free!" A play on the unnecessary expense our provincial govt paid to put new provincial border signs with the motto “Strong and Free” added.

You should be happy, that’s a good thing. A lot less vet trips, if they're fed what they were meant to eat.

Get yourself a cheap remote control car. Tie a feather to a string and then the string to the car. If he’s a chaser, he’ll love it. It worked for our two for about a year before they lost interest. We tried remote control mice, but they lost interest within a day.

But does he like Burritos? Or, is he a Guacamole kind of cat? Inquiring minds wish to know. 🙂

Sort of a #ThrowBackThursday photo from last #Caturday. Rowan and D’Artagnan were roughhousing and my wife made a noise up stairs in the kitchen capturing their attention. #Cats #Cat #CatsOfBluesky #FeralToFriendly
Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat and D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. Rowan is lying flat on her right side on the ground floor carpet. She is looking up and towards the stairway leading to our first floor. D’Artagnan is sitting upright with his tail laying out behind him with a curl at the tip. He’s also looking at the stairway and up towards the first floor. My wife had banged some pots while making our breakfast and had disturbed their roughhousing

We’re rallying at the corner of 13th Avenue and Trans Canada Way in Medicine Hat, on Saturday June 20th from 11am, till 12pm in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21st. Come join us. #NoToSeparation #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #CorruptCare #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent
Photo of a poster. It has a red coloured background with black lettering the reads “Honour Our Treaties We Live on Native Land. The poster was made to highlight the fact the Separatists are totally ignoring Indigenous rights in their effort to separate Alberta from Canada.

Huge shout out to Corb Lund and all those who signed. Love how he used these containers over cardboard boxes and brought them to EA in a horse trailer. We may have to start using pitch forks instead and signs protesting this government.

On #ThrowbackThursday it was Rowan’s turn to chair the January breakfast meeting and presented a motion that kitties should be fed at the table. The motion was carried, but vetoed by the organizer. 😀 #Cats #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky
A photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. This was from January 2026. Rowan is laying on her right side with her head upright and looking into the camera. My wife had gone to make our breakfast and left her chair pulled out. This was an invitation for Rowan to claim it and possibly scam some breakfast at the same time.

50 gathered today in Medicine Hat including @KatFromTheHat.gander.social and @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social, to show our support for #Canada #LGBTQIA2S+RIghts and #IndigenousPeople #NoToSeparation #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #CorruptCare #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent
Photo facing north east along thirteenth avenue in Mediciine Hat. People waving Canadian Flags and posters in support of various causes. LGTQBTIA2S+ and Indigenous people included. Photo further north of more people holding signs such as mine reading “Welcome to Alberta, Where the Odour of UCP Corruption is Strong! And Nothing is Free” another reading “Separate the UCP form Alberta”.  Further along signs reading: “Ban Smith Not Books” and “No Two Tier”, referencing the UCPs policy of allowing private clinics to receive funds for procedures that should be covered  and done at public hospitals. The UCP is effectively redirecting funds from our public healthcare system into private for profit practices. This photo is again further north along thirteenth avenue. In the foreground is a person sitting in a mobility chair with a Bubble Gun sending bubbles out towards the traffic. They’re also holding a Canadian flag and beside them is a lawn sign reading “Everyone in Welcome in my Alberta”. Another gentleman is holding a “No Two Tier” sign and in front of him is an Alberta Federation of Alberta banner. In the background more people have gathered with Pride and Canadian Flags.

I like to paraphrase the quote "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good people do nothing.” Albertans have to do something. Just doing my part.

Saturday June 6th, if you’re near, join us at the corner of 13th Avenue and Trans Canada Way, in Medicine Hat, between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. No rain, maybe a bit windy. #NoToSeparation #PublicNotPrivate #WaterNotCoal #TreatyRights #LGBTQIA2S+RIghts #CorruptCare #GoodTrouble #DontBeSilent
Photo of a rally sign I made up. It references the new Alberta border signs the province is wasting money on so they can add the slogan “Strong and Free” to them, instead of the “Wild Rose Country” slogan that now exists. It reads “Welcome to Alberta! Where the Odour of UCP Corruption is Strong! And Nothing is Free”. The letters for the words Alberta and UCP are coloured blue. The letters in “Odour” are coloured brown with green squiggly lines above the letters in the word “odour", coloured green, to shows smell emanating. This is in reference to the Corruptcare scandal and the UCP giving the Separatists a free ride to a referendum. The letters for the words “Corruption, Strong, Nothing and Free” are coloured red to highlight them for the reasons mentioned previously in reference to the new border signs.

The Wayback Machine was broken this #ThrowbackThursday and Rowan got impatient waiting for breakfast. D”Artagnan, however, was playing it cool. #Cats #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky
A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat and of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. I took this zoomed in photo while I was preparing breakfast for the two cats. Rowan is rushing towards me across the wooden floor because she wants more food now. D’Artagnan is crouched down on the floor as Rowan passes him. He doesn’t seem to be in any hurry, so is waiting patiently.

I’m sure it looks great! We’re on a budget too. I try to do as much as I can myself, but sometimes it’s worth hiring out.

Haven’t seen too many here yet, but once the heat kicks in they’ll be out there. I put mosquito dunks in all my rain barrels and bird baths, so hopefully that will cut down on a few.

D”Artagnan doing double duty on #TechCatTuesday. After doing a security scan on my desktop, he’s auditing my power bar to ensure I’m not overloading the circuit. #Cat #CatsWithJobs #FeralToFriendly #CatsOfBluesky
Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s crouched under the computer desk between a plastic weave pattern bin and a surge protected power bar, that I have my computer equipment plugged into. He appears to be looking it over to ensure I haven’t plugged too many devices in.

I know it’s #TongueOutTuesday, but at 34C (93F)🥵outside D’Artagnan and Rowan just want a nap. Just think a few weeks ago it was snowing. #FeralToFriendly #Cats #Cat #SummerHeat
Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. and Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. Their curled up together in the middle bed of the ground floor cat tree. D’Artagnan is in donut pose with his head resting on the carpeted bed railing. Rowan is cuddled up behind him with one of her front legs hanging over the railing behind D’Artagnan’s neck. Rowans head is supported by the railing and her eyes are partially closed. The window vertical curtains are closed to keep the sunlight and heat out of the house. The outside temperature is thirty four degrees celsius, or ninety three degrees Fahrenheit, too warm for them, but the central air is on keeping them cool enough to have a snooze.
