Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces today Trans Mountain Pipeline to be renamed Assigned Gender at Birth Pipeline.

Human rights and nature are the perennial enemies of profit. Societies which fail to see this are on a path to lose all of their human rights, and all of their natural environments.

Star Editorial Board: Doug Ford’s latest scandal is almost too brazen to be believed It suggests Ford has established a system where public money is being handed out not based on need or merit but on who you know or who you pay

“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.”

Still, it's an attempt to understand what's really there, even if it's convoluted.

Or maybe... they're some kind of bear? 😀

Ape vs. Monkey, showing the distinct characteristics of each, from the gibbon society. A central figure is a face that is half-chimpanzee, half gibbon.

Going on record:
My posts are a SAFE ZONE FOR PEDANTRY. Being corrected on "minor details" continues our learning & it's a humbling, useful experience.

Some of my most pedantic positions:
Apes are monkeys.
Dolphins are whales.
Tortoises are turtles.

Let's talk about taxonomy & nested hierarchies.

Thanks! I was just thinking this morning, "What if I had to explain taxonomy to a beginner?" (Seriously!)

Back in the 1970s there was a rooftop solar trend (mostly for heating water), but energy companies were publicly against it. Why? The consensus at the time was that rooftop solar couldn't be monopolized by energy companies.

This is exactly the same thing that's happening today. They want rents.

Most of my recollection of Lomborg in the early 2000s was of him getting badly schooled by actual scientists, because he's full of baloney.

Sure, a psychology prof will tell us how this works.

"L'etat c'est moi!" -- Danielle DeGaulle

Every single municipal council in Alberta needs to follow the lead of Rocky View Council.

Every. Single. One.

Water - a declining resource in our province - is for life, not to cool computers.

A promotional graphic from Canada’s National Observer dated November 19, 2025. The headline reads, “Alberta lawsuit is trying to silence the messenger.” Below, the byline says, “By Adrienne Tanner | Opinion.” A subheading explains: “Former UCP candidate Caylan Ford’s scattergun defamation lawsuit against the media and others sends a free press chill through Alberta.” The background is dark with white text and a small red maple leaf in the publication’s name.

"One way to help preserve an independent media is to protect them from vindictive US-style lawsuits… we must be free to report fairly without the threat of expensive lawsuits designed solely to shut us up”

Nothing to see here, folks!

I don't get how people sunk the WRP because of one lake of fire comment, but went on to elect a bunch of dolts instead?

But sure, "castoration" 🤪

I assume this would apply to federal politicians only, but at least it's one more way for Canadians to remind our premiers that truth is important.

Have you been watching those Rick Beato yt videos about AI? Lots of good information there.

Lots of asthmatics self-medicate with coffee as well.

"Quitting is easy - I've done it a hundred times." - Mark Twain

There were studies in the 1980s that suggested that schizophrenics self-medicated with nicotine, which is why as a group they have such a high rate of smoking.

This weirdo bs has been going on since before the pandemic. We had convoys rolling around ring roads in Alberta being A-grade asshats back in 2018 already. It ebbs and flows according to how lucrative a grift it is but it shows no signs of going away. #cdnpoli

Look at all the maple trees in that "photo"!
