...and what of the remnant garbage from this ceremony, floating or sinking to the bottom? Surely the Quakers could come up with something that doesn't harm the Lake.

Really great conversation going on here, re: encampments in #Ptbo. You know it's at a tipping point when a city employee posts from a burner account.

Piece by piece, cranes lift 84 prefabricated rentals into place in downtown Calgary | CBC News Along a busy street on the west end of downtown, another new rental building is going up β€” but instead of being built from scratch, prefabricated units are being craned into place, piece by piece.

Well, this is exciting, months, not years to completion, effectively lowering rental rates. Canada's Minister of Housing at the time, @seanfraser.bsky.social, was right!

Here's a Canadian on Substack who you could follow instead of our former MP, who couldn't even bother to write out her last deranged post.
"...the Carney government's act of rare political courage..."

I am no Middle East or trade deal expert. What I do know is that Canada used to be known for peacekeeping, facilitating nations towards talking, pursuing standards of cooperation. I support my #Ptbo MP @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social statement on y'day's announcement.

Our #Ptbo MP @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social is off to a roaring start! Loving her weekly updates, what she's focused on. The last 2 weeks of funding announcements summarized here:

That was my reaction too, one of the many reasons we ate there was because it was independent and local. Brought many a visiting guest. Not sure I'll go to a chain restaurant, even though its such a beautiful space.

I've been lakeside for a wk, leaving my tech packed. This morn, I checked-in on my #Ptbo MP's social media pages, & I find myself so grateful this Riding rallied around @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social in only 4.5 weeks. We were so ready for her calm, inclusive, positive leadership. A sample:

I spent the past week doing things I love with people I love, ending each day with this, leaving my phone in my room every day. 10/10 on the tech severance.

Ottawa set to miss 2026 deadline for establishing $10-a-day child… National Newswatch: Canada's most comprehensive site for political news and views.

Headline fix @nationalnewswatch.com: "Premiers set to miss 2026 deadline for establishing $10-a-day childcare".

Pretty sure its not the feds who have broken the agreement.

What a difference!

"...the first-time politician is embracing the opportunity granted her." It's a respectful & grateful framing of how she sees her representation of us.
