Today's editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press. This makes so much more sense than developing fossil fuel pipelines. If they can cooperate on a pipeline, why not on connected grids that would provide us all with clean, reliable energy?

There's an active shooter situation that started near the front entrance to CDC's roybal campus. The exteriors of buildings 21 and 24 and reportedly 18 were struck by bullets on the public-facing side. Emory just reissued a shelter in place warning.

Stay sheltering in place. Stay away from windows

Poilievre calls for two new pipelines, even if people 'chain themselves to a tree' The party leader plans to introduce legislation to make that happen, even if people "chain themselves to a tree."

Dickish comment from a dickish guy.
Tell us Poilievre, what would you do if you were PM & first nations had concerns about pipelines going through their traditional land?
Would you just go ahead & do whatever Danielle Smith/Trump wanted?

Oh my gosh, how adorable. Love to see these juvies with their big feet & bright eyes. I've seen an occasional new bird variety or two around my backyard too leaving me puzzled on an i.d. House Sparrows bring their kids to show them off & some of them do the flapping wings, open beak pleading at me.

Was going with speckling on the upper part of the sides & the beak is different too although is yours a juvenile by any chance? I notice a lot of the juvie house sparrows around my backyard are longer & slimmer than their "older" counterparts! I used to use Merlin Bird I.D. app which is good & free

I feel Pierre Poilievre may be causing confusion among some voters in Camrose, Alberta by campaigning for his byelection in a car with a different candidate’s name on it?

Pierre (and his ego) loves to be chauffeured around and being the centre of attention. Also is that Kurek driving the car? His head looks ginormous.

Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them.
When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back

Yup, and he pretty much let everyone know that while he was campaigning. "If you vote for me you'll never have to vote again."

It was at a library so not sure what their capacity is - I know there's support for separation but percentage wise, I honestly don't believe they have the numbers. Most of those supporters are 51st staters anyway. They can head South & don't let the border hit them on the ass on their way out.

Saw her answer 2 questions but yeah, I'm sure she's likely experiencing some campaign fatigue. She's been in demand for some extensive interviews & I'm sure she is doing a lot more door to door campaigning than Pierre is. We all know how he & his ego prefer the big (bussed in) crowds come to him.

Personally, I gave up. Couldn't deal with some of the candidates' habit of getting too up close and personal with the mike which resulted in some pretty annoying audio. I'm sure there will be some good clips featuring Bonnie tomorrow though. Don't you go starting a riot with those PP fans now eh!

That is odd, because I was not prompted at all to sign in and I'm not signed in on any of my devices. Rarely sign in to FB anymore. I stopped watching anyway because the audio is atrocious at times and I don't have the patience. Undoubtedly someone will post some choice video clips tomorrow.
