The Catholic Bishops of Alberta have written an open letter calling on Catholic Albertans to remember the tenets of their faith, particularly loving ones neighbour, respecting human dignity, and the commitment to the common good. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith is using your tax dollars to sell her political agenda. This referendum booklet is propaganda. It blames newcomers for her government’s failures and pushes constitutional changes without telling Albertans the truth. You deserve better than this political garbage paid for by you.

ThE aLbErTa AdVaNtAgE. The Alberta Advantage is, in reality, getting federal funding while refusing to institute some kind of sales tax to ensure a predictable tax base LIKE EVERY OTHER PROVINCE but still whinging about how hard done by Alberta is.

I'm also tired of the grievance politics of the UCP Since when did Albertans become such whiners What happened to getting 'er done? What happened to building and not just giving Alberta away to billionaires at bargain basement pricing? Some days it just gets to me

Every once in a while I am struck by the absolutely miraculous nature of the fact that we all exist, the complexity of the unfathomable twists and turns of luck that brought us all here, and how stupid it is that we don’t live in such a way that appreciates our shared humanity. This is one.

Beavers are now on the clock. As days get shorter and nights colder, there are limited days left in the calendar to set up for the winter. All the food that they will eat will need to be jammed below where the ice will form, so no tie to enjoy the fall colours. #AB #Mammals

Finished reading Endling by Maria Reva. An engaging read. A novel, described on the jacket as meta fictional; by me as a unique mashup of fictional characters set in the reality of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Satirical and subtly humourous, probably less subtle in a different context. 4/5*’s
