It sure is something.

Interested? Join us next year! Raise $150 and get a sweet toque and make 400 new friends.

But until then, if you’d like to contribute something, everyone’s donation link is still live for a few weeks. Mine is in my bio. Let’s push that total a bit higher!

Tonight, I participated in the Coldest Night of the Year walk to support Bissell Centre in Edmonton. Easily the coldest of the past 4 years, but nothing compared to what our houseless neighbours endure. 390 walkers raised over $150k! And I got to high-5 @janis.irwin.

Together we can create change.

I have one of those pens. Got it at a fish & game association silent auction. Only an actual moron would think it’s a real bullet.

What’s even more sad to me than the misogyny is the part of society shrugging and saying what did you expect from rich white males as though it’s some inevitability we can’t change. Thanks status quo enablers.

Yep. That was a game of millimetres. Someone’s gonna lose. It’s unfortunate that it was the team we all cheered for, but it’s not an indictment of their character, grit, determination, or skill.

Need a new best friend? We've been fostering Inti since January 9. He's almost 4 months, super smart, and he's ready to be adopted!
Find him at Alberta Homeward Hound: www.albertahomewardhound.com/ahhrbadoptab...

(We'd keep him ourselves if we didn't already have two!)

$30 with 6 days remaining. Song title applicable to an entire nation today.

Unfortunately, good things continue to happen to horrible people. Specifically the Tkachuks.

So that’s what happens when Makar doesn’t dust it off for a full calendar month before shooting.

CNOY 2026 Fundhub Canada The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because i...

Originally posted before Canada won the 4 Nations Cup, so reposting for good luck. As always, I’m raising money as part of the Coldest Night Of The Year fundraiser on Feb 28 benefitting the Bissell Centre in dt Edmonton who help our houseless neighbours. cnoy.w-ith.me/AlexL youtu.be/fsWu4XTQBco?si

Love it

$180 to go. No time to record something new, so here’s my Raffi cover again. A little refresher on democracy for those who may have forgotten.

Now $300 to go.

A little Gordon Lightfoot to fundraise for #CNOY26 Coldest Night Of The Year for the Bissell Centre in downtown Edmonton. One-take covers from a guy who needs to practice more. Please donate anything you can or help by sharing. cnoy.w-ith.me/AlexL

Guillotines are the moderate solution

I remember learning to curl in rural AB and there were little benches along the edges halfway down the sheets and ashtrays at both ends. The beautiful game.

All it takes is one person to say something, then everyone else has enough cover when they simply repeat it.

I bought a Kool & The Gang LP a couple weeks ago specifically for that eventual occasion and I intend to crank it with the windows open to alert the neighbourhood.

When Canadians complain about our healthcare system, they are often skipping over the massive amount of mismanagement by the provinces. Don’t say “it doesn’t work” while provinces do this ⬇️ regularly

We just watched it too. Every single person just kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, minding their business, and enabling him for like 30 years. Infuriating.

Please tell me the world’s longest hockey game isn’t tied up in separatist bullshit.

Hitting my goal isn’t looking likely, so go donate to Erin and keep her gold button streak alive!

*liked.

Raffi himself like this over on Threads. I should probably just put that on my resume.

This is disrespectful to toddlers

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest that every political leader in Alberta needs to officially come out hard against this separatist nonsense to send a message. Every mayor, every county reeve, every MLA with the stones to speak the truth needs to do it.

There are more than a handful of folks I’d like to virtually kidnap and bring over here or to threads. Slowly but surely people are moving over though.

If that song isn’t your jam, there are like 3 years worth of other fundraising covers at www.youtube.com/@Lakoustic and depending on the order you watch in, you can either watch my hair get more or less grey.
