This is fantastic news for Ben and his family! But it's also another example of how badly the UCP have screwed up AISH. Ben was forced onto ADAP, a social media outcry caused a re-evaluation and then Ben was approved AISH after they found out about a press conference. /1

Calgary friends: do you have a line on a good landscape company to do weekly fall cleanup and winter snow removal for a monthly fee? The property is just outside the west city limits (right near Rocky Ridge). Thanks in advance).

Populist leaders depend heavily on popularity. When it collapses, so does their claim to speak for “the people.” Their base sees them as less useful, and they lack a broader coalition to fall back on. So they rig the game to keep playing, further fueling democratic backsliding.

On this day in 1668, the Nonsuch anchored in James Bay. It remained through the winter and traded with the Cree for beaver pelts. This led to the formation of the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670. A replica of the Nonsuch is on display at the Manitoba Museum. 📸 Andrew Workman

This hasn’t made it to Bluesky yet but Mark Carney made a statement condemning the white supremacists who paraded around Kamloops on Sunday and targeted the Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc community with offensive messages
The cowardly act that took place at Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc yesterday is abhorrent. It has no place in this country. My thoughts are with everyone who is shaken and hurt by this disgusting display of hate.

This week, we will mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is a stark reminder of our shared responsibility to confront the devastating legacy of the residential school system and the consequences still felt today. Courageous Survivors shared the truth so that all Canadians could take up the work of reconciliation.
