On October 1, 1970, Janis Joplin walked into Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles and recorded “Mercedes Benz,” an a cappella performance that would become the final studio recording of her life. 🕯️💖🕊️ 🌹
Written by Joplin with poet Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth, the song was recorded in a single take, with Janis singing completely unaccompanied. Its humor and irony made it unlike almost anything else she had recorded.
Just three days later, on October 4, Joplin died at the age of 27 while still working on what would become Pearl.
“Mercedes Benz” was eventually included on the posthumously released album, leaving one of rock’s most unmistakable voices completely alone for one remarkable final studio performance.

Anyway, take from this reaction what you will!!!!! This is a Conservative prime minister. Please, please consider whether you **actually** support his **policies** or just wish the narrative he's weaving around them was reality (it's not).
Former Alberta Premier (and former conservative cabinet minsiter) Jason Kenney posts, in reaction to Carney saying Canada must be the globe's oil supplier:

"Take a bow, Alberta  WE WON!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Every line of this is what we Albertans have been saying for years!

Total repudiation of the Trudeau-Guilbault energy policy!

“Global oil demand will remain in the tens of millions of barrels a day for decades to come.

“So the question is: who will be the world’s trusted supplier of oil for years to come. It should be us. It must be Canada.”

🇨🇦 💪🏼"

In the third panel, Heater and Dragon surround the lil guy along with a handbook titled "How to Kapow the System". The fourth panel shows our lil guy with a glimmer of hope in their eyes for the first time since 2016, reading the definitive guide to making politics Not Suck anymore with the kitties and the handbook by their side.
