I love my books. And my armchair. And my garden. That's where I belong. That's home.

Anyone else not able to get a call through to the Premier's office? Just an auto hangup after the tinned "office of Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta" message.

Hens and Chicks flowers make me happy. And evidently does the same for the bee. Or so I would infer from its focus.

French PM Franรงois Bayrou announces a bill on proportional representation.

If passed, France would join the vast majority of European democracies, including the EU Parliament, in using PR.

With closer ties to Europe popular in Canada, it's time we followed suit.

We should do a trade: these ass hats and their followers go to the US in exchange for the people who did not vote for, or want, Trump but are suffering under him anyway.

Just a reminder, again, that Canada imports about $2B worth of human vaccines each year, 51% of which come from the U.S. We export just $675M. Belgium is our next largest international supplier at $593M.

Yes, the option to briefly turn off your camera to prevent facial expressions being seen is a definite plus!

Or you were an unrealistic idealist. Economic equivalent of climate change: despite increasing evidence of the problem, it is ignored.

"Workers in counties where a Walmart opened experienced a greater decline in earnings than they made up for with cost savings, leaving them worse off overall."

Additional plus is that you can yell at colleagues (their emails, not in a zoom meeting), and not get called into HR

Top feature of working from home: you can cry at work without having to go to the bathroom to do so.

'Heroes' lauded for helping 5 workers injured in explosion at Red Deer bus depot | CBC News When an explosion rattled downtown Red Deer on Thursday afternoon, injuring five workers at a bus depot, some of the city's most vulnerable residents were the first on the scene.

โ€œeight men and women who rely on the society's emergency shelter rushed in to help within seconds of the blast.โ€

While the province takes an approach to homelessness thatโ€™s wholly insufficient, these vulnerable Albertans saved lives.
