For heaven’s sake, if your ballot is sitting on your kitchen table or bedroom dresser, MAIL IT IN! Mail it in tonight. With your ID included. Or half a million Albertans made find themselves disenfranchised. And that could tip the balance.

$4 million spent on this brochure… added to the $200 million referendum price tag. This money could have been spent on public education, healthcare and cost of living. Let’s Save Canada and vote!

Today the UCP released a report they had commissioned from the University of Calgary School of Public Policy on the potential impacts of #Alberta separation from Canada. It has two potential outcomes, a smooth scenario and a difficult scenario, both of which are pretty bleak. PDF: tr.ee/RsvN3X

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

How badly has #misinformation been normalized? An increasing % of people believe the unhinged idea that the COVID vaccine killed more than COVID. 27% think true‼️ ONLY 39% know definitely false‼️ Reality: COVID killed > 7 million. Vaccine saved millions & severe adverse reaction extremely rare.

“I have served the public as a Public Health Inspector for over 9 years. Together, we have made it through numerous staff turnovers, wildfires, emergency evacuations, boil water orders, housing crises, infestations, and outbreaks.

It has been an absolute privilege to keep not just Albertans safe, but you—my neighbors and friends. It is your fundamental right to enjoy an outing at a restaurant, go for a swim, or drink a glass of tap water without the worry of getting sick or poisoned.
But this is all about to change.

In just six days, on June 17, 2026, the Government of Alberta is implementing mass layoffs across the province. We are being forced to choose between signing a severance agreement that bans us from working within the province, or accepting a Government of Alberta position with severe cuts to benefits, pay, seniority, and positions.

Legislation was silently passed to violate our contracts and force us into roles that will no longer effectively serve our communities. While a transition was expected, Public Health Inspectors are uniquely the only professional body targeted in this manner by the government.

This incredibly short notice was entirely by design to prevent public pushback.

Our Provinces's health is at stake. Please, stand with us and write or call your MLA immediately to demand they advocate for a fair and amicable transition that protects public health and the inspectors who keep Alberta safe."

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.
