๐Ÿ“ขAlberta quietly changed hunting rules to allow dogs to assist in hunting black bears.

We oppose the minister's changes made recently, and previously, which fail to use current science and are not aligned with many best practices.

Dreeshen states in the article that the bike lanes donโ€™t just impact urban commuters but also folks who come into the larger municipalities to do stuff.

Who are they governing for, you ask? Oh, yeah, a minority (the one that donโ€™t own/use bikes).

I am so sick of this shit.

ANALYSIS | Alberta minister threatens to axe bike lanes. Can he make his case? | CBC News Province claims urban bike lanes worsen congestion. Ontario said the same thing โ€” then a judge found they lacked evidence to back up their point.

โ€œโ€˜And obviously when you take away a driving lane for vehicles to put in a bike lane you're helping that small two per cent of commuters at the expense of driversโ€™โ€

The UCP are suddenly worried about programs that serve a minority of the population? Hypocrites.

Kinda sad. Came to Vancouver from Lethbridge and, itโ€™s really dry here.

The coulee makes the lawns on the seawall look likeโ€ฆwell, AB in August. Hopefully We bring the rainโ€ฆ

I think the thing folks donโ€™t understand about Albertan progressives is that we are just as ornery/friendly, numerous, and dedicated to our cause as Albertan conservatives.

Weโ€™ve been putting up with these chuds since kindergarten. Weโ€™re handling it.

Weโ€™re heading out to Van tomorrow. Theyโ€™ve had a mild, dry summer but itโ€™s supposed to rain out there this week (likely because it seems like half the southern ABs I know will be in Vancouver this week).

Theyโ€™re โ€œwarningโ€ elected representatives? They have a rural grass chewer telling the large municipal councils to do their jobs? Mmmkay.

The lot of the UCP are a poxโ€ฆand have caused one. There is nothing good in this governance.

I once watched a gal using Google maps turn down a street in the exact opposite direction of where she was meant to go. Itโ€™s how people end up in lakesโ€ฆin their cars.

I am being asked if municipal election candidates can include collecting #ForeverCanadian signatures as part of their campaign.

Yes, why wouldnโ€™t you? 90% of Albertans will appreciate it.

All candidates, MLAs, MPs and their teams can be signature collectors.

Huh. Watertonโ€™s Red Rocks is a weird choice for this article, considering itโ€™s a water flow in a subalpine forest.

You missed Writing On Stone Provincial Park, though, which is protected lands on the Milk River.

My year-old veggie garden in a crazy big yard in Fleetwood (old #Lethbridge south side).

Designed a sun trap (in a very shady lot) made of tiers, and the moving front taking out the lawn.
