NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Can somebody let her know that contract workers pay taxes too, regardless of their migratory status?

In 2026 as in 1926, may the motoring public resolve to remember that others exist.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

‘Bitterness and sadness’: Calgary disability hub closes, leaves gap for community An advocacy hub that has served Calgary’s disabled community for nearly three decades is closing after the province ended its funding contract a year early.

The Disability Action Hall is/was a vital part of the Calgary community. They did so much and accomplished so much. They brought their voices to City Hall to make the city a better place for everyone. They will be deeply missed. #yyccc #yyc

Best opening line on the best opening track on a debut album: Gloria on Patty Smith’s Horses. A declaration that things will never be the same: “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine”.

You see a cute video. We see a non-paid water taxi/uber fare.

As we have said and continue to say: the absolute vibe-based public safety conversation is not going to change until we get serious about social change: library-specific deescalation work and broader social interventions around housing, youth engagement, safe consumption, and accessible healthcare.

BTW #yyc, this applies to you as well. All the downtown street signs are strictly auto oriented & you have the worst 2 scramble intersections downtown on 3rd Street

I think we all agree that the amazing journos @halifaxexaminer.ca are once again providing us essential info , including no paywall articles, at this pivotal time. Maybe we can use our no increases in taxes to send them some $$$$.

A sepia-toned studio portrait of a young woman shown from the chest up, facing the camera with a neutral expression. Her dark hair is parted in the center and pulled back, with soft waves over the shoulders. She wears a high-collared dress with a row of buttons at the front. The image is set within an oval vignette on aged paper, with visible stains and wear. A handwritten name, “Emma,” appears along the bottom edge.

Emma Stark was the daughter of enslaved persons who came to Canada as a toddler.
Inspired by her time in school, she chose to become a teacher.
She became the first Black teacher on Vancouver Island.
This is her story.

Our Streets Should Be For Everyone Making streets safe for pedestrians and cyclists makes them safe for everyone.

I've written a bit on how we need to rethink our approach to road safety for everyone. I wrote this article almost 2 yrs ago. Since then, @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social has installed the pedestrian lead times downtown. #winnipeg

Road safety is back on the agenda here in #winnipeg, and not in a good way. Council is looking to cut the road safety budget & wanting to delay making Wellington Crescent safer for all users. On the sorta positive side, they are considering lowering the speed limit to 40km/hr.
