🇨🇦 The Cantankerous Canuck 🇨🇦

You're not out to lunch! In my first post, I had written that everyone in Canada except SK, BC & Yukon needed to set their clocks ahead on March 8. Since adding BC was an error, I took them out.

My apologies to anyone unsettled with my post of an hour ago; TIME CHANGE REMINDER. While it was intended as a broadside with the Trump Regime as a punchline & not intended as news, some rightly pointed out that BC's change to DST will take place in Nov rather than now. I have corrected & reposted.

Clock & calendar

TIME CHANGE REMINDER

A reminder to CANADIANS: Time for a CLOCK CHANGE on Sunday, March 8th to DST. Set time forward one hour. PS: Not applicable for SK & Yukon.

A reminder to AMERICANS: Time for a REGIME CHANGE anytime now. Set time back to 2026 from 1930. PS: Epstein Files.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the read.

'Rock solid' majority opposed to Alberta independence: Abacus Data poll | CBC News About a quarter of Albertans support the province leaving Canada, but the majority — nearly two-thirds — are against it, according to a new poll from Abacus Data.

53% said they thought Smith would vote in favour of separation, the highest of the five leaders presented as options in the poll.

"I have been very clear: I support a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada," Smith said.

🤔 Seems like maybe you really haven't been "very clear," Dani!

I've recommended blocking this series of #bots before. Here's another one of those Swedish bots with autism 😉: Carro @carolinesweden.bsky.social
RECOMMEND A #BLOCK.

Added its screenshot along with 2 of its sisters I recommended you block previously. It's a big family. 😂

Awww, shucks. ☺️

One idiot gone, too many more to count to go.

Thanks. Will check it out.

Ouch! Care to name drop?

Takes some getting used to, that's for sure. The tech glitches don't help, but I guess that's to be expected when you are a beta tester. I'm hoping they get settled in sooner rather than later so they don't end up frustrating a lot of Canadian users and lose great potential as a CDN social medium.

I'm thinking poor planning, unable to meet deadlines they set so rushing to catch up to meet public expectations they created, small staff & some disorg. In my experience, typical of most new tech startups. Same holds true for other industries. Don't know why humans just can't do smooth startups. 😉😂

I wonder if Gander is doing a subset test of the Bsky feed. I have not only NOT seen Bsky content or users in my feed, I have been unable to find any actively searching for them with the search function & checking post info??? Insofar as I can tell, my only presence in Gander is from my Gander acct.

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit | CBC News Alberta is making cuts to seniors' benefits and tax credits for caregivers as it faces a $9.4-billion budget deficit.

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit

Of course they are! When the going gets rough, Alberta's vulnerable populations pay the price so Disaster Dani's rich Oil & Gas buddies don't have to fairly share in any government austerity measures.

In other news, grass is green & water is wet. 😉

Resign? In the real world she would have been fired long ago. Unfortunately, incompetence is rewarded in the bizzaro Trumpworld.

Just followed you. Gander was down for a bit, but all seems well now.

ANALYSIS | Did Carney go too far in offering 'support' for U.S. strikes against Iran? | CBC News Every prime minister is called upon, at one time or another, to comment on the actions of an American president.

I agree with Axworthy on this one. The attack on Iran can't be justified under the UN Charter & Carney's statement of support should have made that clear. As a Canadian, I don't like the optic that Canada is supporting the Trump regime in ANY of their illegal/immoral activities in the US or abroad.
