Oh, and if we're talking about using Canadian oil and gas to lower Canadian fuel prices? That's the National Energy Program, Pierre. Did you want the National Energy Program?

Screen capture from a hilarious diorama with figures of The Patridge Family & The Brady Bunch kids engaged in battle. Close up of one of the younger Brady boys being shaken by the neck. Is it Peter or Bobby? Danny P figure is doing the throttling.

The P-team presentation is uniform

Also tough with the size of scale on the figures varying.
Danny P never looked that tall lol

Thanks for the amusement.

Progress report:

Attacking civil society is a Trumpian move. It’s completely inappropriate in a democratic society.

How cool being knotless.
Gotta love when it's easy to unravel & go again.
Still skill & patience. Woo 9hrs!

Hope you are having a lovely visit. Thanks for sharing beautiful bits of life.
We sure need it these days.❤️

Not to quibble, but i think that's Peter Brady getting throttled by Danny Partridge there.
Bobby is just dealing with Chris² P. He's fine.

#DeservedOrNot

Wow!
Beautiful work.
Such skill & patience. ❤️

It is a truly spectacular shot.
(The next shot for the 6th point was pretty good, btw)

I haven't watched much wheelchair curling.
The curl & weight control are wild! To make that shot without any sweeping is so above and beyond impressive ⭐️🔥

Arctic Winter Games open in Whitehorse to cheering fans, athletes For the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arctic Winter Games opened in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Danielle Smith drags the judiciary deeper into her partisan mud slinging The Alberta Premier’s referendum is a direct threat to the proper functioning of our justice system

"This isn’t about constitutional reform. It’s about politics. More specifically, it’s part of a broader and increasingly brazen [UCP] effort to either control the courts or, failing that, convince the public not to trust them. "

These interventions bring unpredictable, painful consequences.

And we don't have the pipelines to get the gas to the East coast in the first place! That alone, not including the export terminal, could be a $50 BILLION investment that would need Indigenous and regulatory approvals!
