PP has one objective- get 50% +1 in the leadership review. He's depending on the fascist wing of the party to get that.

Specifically including little PP. He would fight Danielle Smith for the opportunity to surrender first.

Waze is good for driving, but utterly useless for everything else.

A protest sign that reads You Can’t Spank Us For Speaking up.

Good sign. #iStandWithTeachers

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Knock the stupid things over as they pass. A 100% failed delivery rate would end this pretty fast.

A delightful free campsite in BC somewhere secret. A damp tent is drying out.

How about ones where the power and water is still on?

Blog title: The 2025 Mine Financial Security Program Update: Security Collected for Aging Syncrude Mine Offers a First Estimate of Mine Closure Costs

We’re kicking off day 1 of our Closure Liabilities in the Energy Sector Conference. And in about 1&1/2 hrs, @drewyewchuk.bsky.social and I will be posting our latest @ablawg.bsky.social re: Alberta’s Mine Financial Security Program (MFSP). It’s sort of a big deal. #ableg #cdnpoli

A cartoon showing Calgary's original town hall, on the site where old city hall is today.

🤠 Calgary’s first town council meeting, in 1884, was in a saloon. They soon upgraded to a town hall—“a very cheerless, cold and inconvenient place,” councillors lamented. 🥶

Each day until Oct 20, The Sprawl is publishing a new Sam Hester comic on Calgary’s political history. Stay tuned! #yyccc

With @rinrat86.bsky.social for sunset on Botanical Beach. Camping somewhere in the woods halfway to Lake Cowichan tomorrow. #yycbike

Definitely ready for a roof to dry out and de-stink after the first few days of biking on Vancouver Island, but wow. #yycbike

A new zine series for Calgary’s 2025 election | The Sprawl One for each of the city's 14 wards.

He would certainly have had to travel to Florida and DC to surrender and receive his orders.

Insurance company employees can read. I hope his policy gets canceled.

Terribly lazy article.

The UCP government is criminally corrupt, plain and simple. They should be targeted as organized white collar crime.

This is amazing.

PP would have formed great relations with Trump by proactively surrendering on day 1.

Unless legislated, decarbonization will happen once enough public $$$ gets handed over to make it as profitable as O&G production. Maybe the UCP will set up a crown corp (federally funded, of course) to do it.

O&G has been honest about this - they will front the initial planning work, but large-scale CCS (Pathways) is 100% dependent on a blank federal government cheque. Yet more opportunities for UCP fraud as they will demand the cash flow through them.

Smith is probably already planning to simply ban public sector strikes and impose contracts.

Smith is a stupid, racist, homophobic, separatist wannabe fascist who dreams of becoming a US governor. Every single member of her caucus, along with her municipal sycophant candidates (like Communities First) is absolutely just a bad.

Today is @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social's 8th birthday!! Hard to believe. We've come a long way since 2017... www.sprawlcalgary.com/sprawl-birth...

Let's be very clear - white, Christian, conservative and speak English without an accent? Welcome to Danielle and TBA's Alberta. One of those funny people with dark skin who talks weird? F off.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.
This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

I really don't understand (seeing this from Canada) how anyone in the US can expect elections to actually mean anything going forward.

Total deliberately false bullshit by our MAGA princess.

A sane society would be driving 75% plug in hybrid mini vehicles now

She is great if we get info to her.
