Partner, prof, pups’ pop, aversion to alliteration. Pseudo-intellectual. Treaty 7. I will post about housing & homelessness policy. Opinions on local #Lethbridge govt? Just ask! Animal welfare advocate. Hippy at heart who may tell you to PFO. 🤣

Shout out to @strudelbrand.com for making Lethbridge more interesting and promoting Peter Pan Goes Wrong, which we went to this afternoon. A well done local production of a classic Goes Wrong play. #yql #Alberta
An illustration of a grey hare with an orange eye that looks very funky, for lack of a better description. It is encased in a plastic box that is attached to a signpost.

Actually, the US has a pretty solid record of losing wars (Vietnam, Afghanistan), and even those it has won (Iraq) were hardly worth the cost.

The UCP wants you to get bogged down on the policy debates around infill. Don't be fooled. Their intrusion into local democracy reveals something far more troubling to folks across the political spectrum. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/this-isnt-...

This isn’t about infill
The UCP government’s intrusion into municipal authority raises much deeper concerns

“It's about giving Albertans a voice before their neighborhoods are permanently changed” Has the Minister not read the MGA, the law that makes public hearings mandatory on rezoning (usually from single family to multi-family)?

When is she a journalist & when is she an editorialist? Rick Bell has been straddling that fence for years: he never takes responsibility for his commentary, claiming he was just a reporter. Yet his reporting is rife with commentary. Gotta let an audience with diminishing media literacy know.

Angry and disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that some graduate students here are planning mini vacations for Truth and Reconciliation Day tomorrow. Zero reflection, just an opportunity to head to the mountains and/or party. #yql

propaganda /ˌprɒp.əˈɡæn.də/: dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion. This one falls on the "rumours, half-truths" and "lies" end of the propaganda spectrum. Our tax dollars paid for this. Think about that.

I’m going to say it: I never quite got the mysticism linked to Gram Parsons. But boy, he was a damn good songwriter. And sing! Hell, yes. Emmylou Harris singing alongside was just icing on the cake. Last night‘s listening.

I am incensed by this taxpayer-funded UCP propaganda from beginning to end - from its dishonest title (how does imposing fees on immigrants make AB stronger?) to its slanted commentary (eg federal firearms laws are now "federal meddling" at 10 that needs to be trumped). 1/ #abpoli #ableg

All too true! This is, unfortunately, going to be a divisive and angry fall. Take care of yourselves. Take care of your families and friends. We are going to spend years getting over this and in so many ways we're all going to lose a lot moving ahead no matter what the results.

I'm frustrated with the ad hominem attacks as the referendum/separation debate rages. Seppies are idiots; Federalists are stupid; traitors are everywhere! A few months back, we were neighbours. Now, for some mortal enemies. Doesn't matter who "wins" in 3 weeks - we're coming out of this damaged.

Ummm, Lethbridge has absolutely no f*cking air travel, and an airport that’s lying dormant. Might be nice to actually factor us into the mix … if this isn’t actually some grift or an announcement to distract from, well, you know, stuff! It appears we’ve pissed in somebody’s cornflakes!

Fun fact: Since Jan 1, 2019, Albertans have cast 7.245M ballots in general / by-elections. In that same time, Elections Alberta have cited four people with trying to vote when not eligible. 4. Of 7.245M. Also fun fact: Elections Alberta cited Take Back Alberta and David Parker 12 times. In 2025.
