Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

“Trump died on December 8, three weeks before Christmas. The news broke during evening programming. Within three hours, coverage had settled into rhythm: the same footage, the same talking heads, the same speculation. No one yet understood what his death would reveal.”
My newest piece:
Real ED Case in AB 🧵 :
Elderly couple 91 and 92yo, living in their own home caring for each other. Slowly declining, as one has worsening dementia, and they can no longer live on their own anymore.
No beds to place them in continuing care from the community

Planned Obsolescence:
The absurd practice of designing products with a limited lifespan in order to maximize profits. Based on the notion that infinite economic growth can be balanced by the finite resources of this planet.
I can't believe it's November 5th already. We've got up to 5cm of snow forecast for tonight so I guess it's time...

Among the snow-laden trees on a cloudy day, Santa, wearing his wire-rim glasses and Santa outfit, gestures upward towards a red/white/framed wooden sign that reads: “Welcome to North Pole, Alaska 99705.”

When I’m not at City Hall, performing my duties as an elected Councilman, I’m advocating for child health, safety & welfare.
Every child deserves to be loved & nurtured.
Love is the greatest gift :-)}
Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore.
The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power.
The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like...
This is getting ridiculous.

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.
Now they're walking away from that commitment.

This was a good week for global resistance. Shout outs to the Netherlands, Ireland and Albertan resistance - ground zero in the Canadian fight against MAGA MAPLE.

High demand for private COVID-19 shots sparks supply problems, waitlists for #Alberta pharmacies
Pfizer Canada says it has put limits on ordering due to higher than expected demand
Why isn't Alberta ordering the Canadian made Moderna from Ontario or Quebec?

There are few lessons to be learned here:
- Consider who the source is 🤥
- Don’t count chickens before they hatch 🐣
- Never underestimate the #ForeverCanadian movement 💪

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦
Alberta is #ForeverCanadian
Where are we at?
Our collection team is gathering petitions from across Alberta. More will arrive tomorrow.
Some of our amazing #ForeverCanadian volunteers are still collecting last minute signatures.
For many, this is more than canvassing. It’s a movement. It’s a community.
#Cdnpoli #ableg
Spruce Grove #ForeverCanadian canvassers showed up in droves to return piles of signed petition sheets today.

Thank you!!!

We need your signature.
Here’s a list of locations:

Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count.
It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected.
Thank you volunteers!

A photo of my backyard feeding station with a wall of green trees behind it. On my large tray feeder there is one mourning dover and six blue jays, while on the hoops and rungs there are three more, giving an entire starting line up of Blue Jays baseball players!
That time the entire Blue Jays' lineup of 9 players visited my backyard. World Series bound! LET'S GO BLUE JAYS! #birds #birding #Bobsbackyard #HamOnt #Ancaster #bluejays

Who you callin' coloUrful, bud? ...is the attitude you get from Manny the Mandarin duck doing his full crest and whiskers display with his sails up too. Look all that mandarin jargon up. I had to. Zen birding.
Happy #StunDay Bluesky!! 🌿

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..
