And, furthermore, THIS IS WHAT MY PREMIER’S QUESTIONS 1-5 ARE TRYING TO DRIVE ALBERTA TO! Vote no to the nine, people.

Omigod! What horrible chain of events! How does anyone – driver, family, community – get over that?

Thank you for this. I’m astounded that such a day can have so little coverage that I don’t hear about it into mid-afternoon of the day.

That seems like a pretty accurate description based on the photo in the article. The professor references a second sign that was worse, and I’m having a hard time imagining how that could be.

Your phone is not your camera? You must be a professional photographer.

… functions that the Government of Canada has handled effectively for 159 years. The tenth message is Alberta should remain a province of Canada. FYI, I want all of you to send Canada those messages too.

A message? I want to send Canada 10 messages. The first five are variations on the theme “I don’t want you or Danielle Smith to pretend that immigrants (or internal migrants) are the source of my problems. The next four are variations on the theme “I don’t trust Danielle Smith to take over …

I didn’t watch the whole 20 minutes, but I wish we had Delft’s terrible bicycle problem here.

Nobody would be stealing the talent. Some places would just be welcoming it —- or at least receiving it.

Just in case anyone I follow doesn’t follow Senator Simons.

Do people taking a case on principle really rake in $4500 for it?

I had forgotten who Curtis Sliwa was, so I had to look him up. First, EEEW! Second, you’re right, they’re everywhere if you look.

000

Yes. They are absolutely blind to this.

I had to give him up when he released the album “No Music for Old Men”.

Well, here’s a new reason to not go to the United States.

Why do they all look like J.D, Vance now?

In re Max’s op not your sarcastic point, they don’t even want to live in some actual historic past. They want to live in a time when the world worked without their understanding and competent, caring parents did everything they could to filter negative aspects out of their lives.

Who would go vacation in a place where the food is uninspected, the residents laugh at threats to absorb your home country, and you run a non-zero chance of being detained and expelled to a prison in a country where you’ve never lived and don’t speak the language?

000

Yes, but it shows no signs that it’s going to even try, so it will fail before its lack of market power gets a chance to act.

000

Not without trying, it can’t.

On grey winter days it has been the most beautiful building in Edmonton since the day it was sheathed. I hope the replacement skin is the same vibrant yellow.

What! No harmonica on a rack?

I saw that painting in an Art Gallery of Alberta show. It is incredibly powerful.

I was fascinated by this story because (many years before Ms Didulo graced it with her presence) my grandfather homesteaded at Richmond and my father was born there.

Aw, come on. It’ll be fun.

It’s really more of a guideline than an actual rule.

Even so, you probably shouldn’t sing or randomly shout haikus.

It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please

It is funny, but mostly this one is a warning to me that I don’t know enough about contemporary singers or what 80’s singers looked like.

I see Carney more as neo-Reagan. Your comparison is compelling though. I need to think more about this.

I figured I’d be okay because I was seventh.

Not in his wildest dreams. He’s more like last generation’s Jagmeet Singh.

Premature send. Sorry. I meant I’ll accept your upper age restrictions on driving if you’ll accept my “severe penalties for careless driving and absolute lifetime driving bans for a fatality caused by driving”.

ROFL! My wife doesn’t care about peanut butter, but we have had this exact exchange about other foods.

I can see couples with children needing cargo bikes, but I have an “absurdly expensive” non-cargo e-bike and it (with rear carrier panniers and a basket) will carry A LOT of stuff as measured by the needs of an older couple.
