You can now recycle more in your blue cart! More packaging can now go in your blue cart, including flexible plastic bags and wrappers, foam packaging, aerosols, and tubes. Remember: recycle them empty, clean and loose (unbagged). Learn more at www.calgary.ca/waste/reside...
Infographic announcing that, starting October 1, 2026, new provincial recycling rules allow more packaging to be recycled in blue carts. A large blue recycling cart is shown at the bottom with arrows pointing into it. Examples of newly accepted items are grouped into four categories: flexible plastic bags and wrappers (chip bag, coffee bag, food pouch, snack wrapper), foam packaging (protective foam block, foam egg carton, foam takeout container, meat tray), food and body aerosols (cooking spray, deodorant spray, sunscreen spray, whipped cream can), and tubes (deodorant, hair gel tube, lotion tube, toothpaste).

Albertans with Canadian flags attached to their car in 2026 and Albertans with Canadian flags attached to their car in 2021 are completely non-overlapping groups.

Trudeau bought an entire pipeline to try and appease Albertans and afterwards the province was awash in pickups with FUCK TRUDEAU bumper stickers because they didn't want him to buy them a pipeline they wanted him tried at the Hague over covid measures. These are deranged and dangerous people.

I'm going to say this without pointing the finger at the person below bc they get it, but many outside Alberta, I believe, don't have a full grasp of what this movement is. It isn't like Quebec, it is almost entirely without basis and can never be mollified or appeased, only fought against.

I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide. She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her. I hope people give her the spotlight and some love. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Melissa Barrera Says Support for Macklemore After He Was Dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Tour Is ‘Beautiful’ and ‘I Didn’t Get That’ After Being Fired From ‘Scream’
Melissa Barrera is voicing her respect for the musicians who have dropped out of Ed Sheeran’s tour following Macklemore’s dismissal over his support for Palestine.

There has been more energy in the US to disrupt or cancel an Ed Sheeran concert than the multiple visits Netanyahu has made to the US.

Mark Carney - a LIBERAL PM - is more popular in Alberta than Danielle Smith, by a full 9 points. He’s more popular than Pierre Poilievre. He’s more popular than anyone & everyone. And despite being the conservative heartland of the nation, Alberta resoundingly rejects Donald Trump. #cdnpoli

The American tariffs on Canada are vastly different than the tariffs levied on other nations. The American tariffs are designed to destroy the Canadian economy and industry so Republicans and their backers can steal everything. Canadians have no choice but defend their families and retaliate.

Alberta’s electricity under the current UCP government increased 127.8% between July ‘22 and ‘23 (Sask coming in a DISTANT 2nd at 12%) and has consistently continued to rise. Albertans cannot afford these out of control, unchecked cost increases. Send Dani packing already. #AbLeg #AbPoli

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli

Stop mourning US soldiers. They SIGNED UP to be an invading force and to murder innocent people- CHILDREN- in countries that in no way threaten the US. Dying in these terrorist efforts has to be an expected result. They signed up to murder and the infinitesimal number killed is scant justice.

It'd be cool if Graham's death could raise awareness of aortic dissection. It's a terrifying emergency that requires IMMEDIATE surgical repair or is 100% fatal. It killed two of my grad school professors and, famously, the creator of Rent. Learn about it.

Queer people don't grow up as ourselves, we grow up playing a version of ourselves that sacrifices authenticity to minimise humiliation & prejudice. The massive task of our adult lives is to unpick which parts of ourselves are truly us & which parts we've created to protect us. -ALEXANDER LEON

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔
Before-and-after aerial comparison of Gaza showing the same urban area in 2023 and 2026. The top image shows a dense coastal city with apartment blocks, roads, a mosque-like building, cars, and a strip of beach under a blue sky. The bottom image shows the area in gray ruins, with collapsed buildings, rubble-filled streets, destroyed infrastructure, and the damaged remains of the same landmark building. The image presents Gaza transformed from a living city into a devastated landscape. UNOSAT and UNESCO have documented widespread damage to buildings and cultural sites in Gaza since October 2023.
