It's a tree on the prairies. Not likely to be cut down until it dies

We could get a little snow in Calgary today, too. It was 17° yesterday. Right now, it's 1° and grey. Should be 18° on Friday, might snow Sunday
Springtime in Alberta...

I didn't. But, we don't have many oak trees in Calgary

A close up of tiny, delicate ash blooms against a blurry background of trees that have not budded their leaves. The blooms have a little tinge of red to them

Early sign of spring.
The ash trees are starting to bloom!

Good news in Calgary Confederation!
Of course, the CPC candidate, Jeremy Nixon, was an objectively terrible UCP MLA who lost the provincial seat to the NDP in 2023. He just might be doing the Liberals a favour!

Is it really satire, though???

It's springtime in Alberta!

Every single day of Ramadan

This is community

This is love

This is Islam

This is who Christo-fascists want us to hate

6°C, 30 km/h breeze from the west, and a classic Chinook Arch

Feels like March

Still winter, more of it yet to come.

But, a promise of spring

And hope for survival of another Alberta winter

We can argue the merits of a republic vs. a constitutional monarchy another day.
The fact remains: the USA is a Constitutional Republic.
Americans owe loyalty to the constitution, not to the president!
Now, please get on with following your constitution!

It was -24°C just 24 hours ago.
That's a 30° change in 24 hours.

For US folks:
-24°C = -12°F
6°C = 43°F

Ah... Calgary weather!
🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
