Hard to argue, but it is arguably a worldwide reality on an increasingly inhospitable planet.
Alberta is still a very fortunate place to be, if we are picking winners and losers. The struggle to keep the world hospitable is the noble pursuit.

The gravy train between Edmonton and Calgary has been running for my entire life. Every 7-8 years, it will be 'proposed' or 'studied' as a way to funnel tax dollars to the AB conservative friend and family plan.
Always a bonus to rope in the rubes with more money than they know what to do with.

Not to mention the untold number of disabilities that resulted, certainly undercounted. (My mother lost most of her hearing in one ear after contracting scarlet fever as a child in the 1930s.)

Toronto media after McDavid is involved on 70% of Team Canada's goals:
Connor McDavid must be sick of carrying this team. It's obvious he's not happy. He obviously wants to play for Toronto.

One spring when I was a kid, I took my bike out when the melting snow would first allow. I discovered a 45 record in the street. One side was an artist I don't recall, but it was completely scratched anyway.
But the other? Boney M's Rasputin. Spotless and playable.

"The AI-assisted navigation system was fully operational and functioning. In flight, the system identified a collision course with a mountain. In keeping with its ethical design framework, AI determined the choice to fly into a mountain is a fundamentally human one, and deactivated before impact."

Loathe to defend an NRA a$$hole, but reading a news story is not a great foundation to tie someone specifically to some of the most loathsome acts imaginable.

Ditto. I'm utterly disappointed in Carney, and fell dirty for giving him my vote. But I'd 100% do it again.
I have a hard time believing Poilievre (and the Alberta Freedom idiots as well), aren't part and parcel of the American coup.

Quick follow up Karoline... If these groups are organized, they must have funding. Can you tell us how those groups are accepting funds? Are people donating by phone or website?
Can you provide links so we can investigate?
