I will not forget the division, turmoil and unrest she caused AB. Spent millions of our money to do it She used us I will not forget “It cost us probably at the end of the day about $200 million in tax money to do this. Would’ve hired teachers, doctors, nurses, 7500 EAs on 5year contracts” N Nenshi

“It cost us probably at the end of the day about $200 million in tax payer money to do this. That would’ve hired teachers, doctors, nurses, 7500 EAs on five year contracts for example.” https://bit.ly/3UfkMRu

Today in 1929 CDN women became "persons" under the law. Indigenous and Asian women were not included. Even with this 1929 ruling, women's right to vote was still tenuous. My right to vote did not come easy. I will not take it for granted. Vote. Tomorrow. Vote.

J Farkas "AB separation would put jobs investment economic future at risk Calgary has the highest employment of any CND city, and unemployment is down to 6.3% Tariffs and trade uncertainty, we're holding our own We need more jobs & investment,not separation chaos." Vote.

Alberta separation would put our jobs, investment, and economic future at risk. Calgary has the highest employment rate of any major Canadian city, and unemployment is down to 6.3%. Even with tariffs and trade uncertainty, we're holding our own. We need more jobs & investment, not separation chaos.

Today is "Take It To the Post Office" day! (If you miss the mail today, Advanced Voting is Oct 13-17) Easy peasy, get 'er done...

calgaryherald.com/op... Take a read👇 I hope you'll catch the sarcasm and absurdism... I worry our Premier and Minister probably won't Make no mistake though: this absurd logic is exactly what our govt is selling you TRICKLE DOWN Health Care! (Help rich first = all benefit!)

Fill it out, mail it "Canada Post strongly recommends electors mail their completed special ballot back to Elections Alberta by October 9, 2026, to ensure they are received by the deadline, Friday, October 16, at 5:00pm." Also, you can check the current status of your ballot at Elections Alberta.

“The premier needs to allow emergency physicians to participate in her capitalist panacea. I’m sure she won’t want to deny emergency patients the right to buy their way out of the chaos.” Brilliant satire from Dr Paul Parks! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

What if our feeds were chock o block full of posts displaying sharp critical thinking skills, deepened reading comprehension and empathy/compassion for the world around us? Ahhh...<3 <3

There are two weeks to go in the Alberta referendum campaign. Not sure where to turn for information to make your choice? The Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy at the University of Alberta has you covered. www.ualberta.ca/en/peter-lou...

Thank you Dr Wesley... "There are two weeks to go in the Alberta referendum campaign. Not sure where to turn for information to make your choice? The Peter Lougheed School of Politics and Democracy at the University of Alberta has you covered." www.ualberta.ca/en/peter-lou...

My daily mountain morning walk. Connect with reality in nature. Patience, humility, beauty, grace. "may you be happy, may you be safe."

The Dunn House model combines housing with health care for those who need it most. It works and we’re expanding it — with a third location in Toronto.

Terrific synthesis reporting, analysis and writing in this story.

Put this in light with what we have learned about men at Cornell this week. And this is what showed up at the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc reserve near Kamloops today...white nationalist men, Second Sons in full masked gear. Yeah. And listen to what Korean women are saying...

US tried to seek a independent trade deal with QC for aluminum QC said no and is standing strong united with Canada. Our CDN sovereignty at risk, ABs are dealing with an expensive, divisive, pointless separation referendum. Who is playing AB to create a division in CA??? #NoToTheNine #StayInCanada

Instead of dealing with a healthcare crisis, our education problem and an existential threat to our CDN sovereignty from our southern neighbours; AB is headed into a referendum we don't want or need. Order your ballot today. #NoToTheNine #StayInCanada

❤ David From A man who knows his job and can tell you all about it! He landed his aircraft on the highway near Sunshine after a mechanical problem. His interview with CBC Radio Calgary this morning.... Amazing, simply amazing. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Trolling, rage baiting, bots Sweary yelly racist men shiny big trucks, muddy little quads, big dead fish, dead horned animals and guns Come to my doorstop (my page) and spew stupid yelly, sweary, racist things...not today my dears Blockey block block Here's a photo of a big buck elk, not dead. <3

Albertans take note...maybe, just maybe, we need a NDP govt back to lead our province... "Premier Kinew announced MB’s deficit has been cut in half. They have the lowest unemployment in Canada and have made many improvements to healthcare and education."

“In a storm a single tree will come down A forest will not Because beneath the forest floor, the roots of an oak intertwine with those of its neighbours, exchanging nutrients adding strength to strength, creating a resilient self sustaining ecosystem" Mark Carney #NoToTheNine #StayInCanada Vote

This. "At worst, it was responding to government pressure to ensure a desired outcome. If the latter, it’s a 5-alarm fire."

Early morning walk. Like walking in a cloud. First snows on the mountain tops, mist in the valley and quietness. <3 <3 Voted this week and sent in my application to be a poll worker for this ridiculous referendum. #NoToTheNine #StayInCanada

#NoToTheNine #StayInCanada Both voted. Both mailed in. Easy peasy. "May you be happy, healthy, safe and at ease." <3

"There’s always a cost to action. But it doesn’t come close to the cost of standing still." Nobody in this country is in the stands, 40 million of us are on the ice and I thank-you for that." "What we're doing is working. And we're just getting started." www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYAw...

Thank you to whoever put this together. This whole ridiculous exercise of a referendum summed up. UCP says, "Let's use "complex language intended to sound reasonable". That'll get us a win for racism, division and rage baiting." :( #StayInCanadaNoToTheNine

cthompsonyyc "This is just a reminder that the Alberta referendum is non-binding It’s a tax-funded opinion poll Smith will do whatever she wants as she’s proved time and again Only way to get a good outcome show up in numbers so huge that it would be hard to ignore." Vote. #StayInCanadaNoToTheNine

“CND in the crosshairs...Alberta secession from Canada is just the starting point: the endgame is to put that American flag on Alberta, and claim the prize...to weaken CND democracy ” Prof Ruth Ben Ghiat (fascism, authoritarianism, propaganda scholar) #NoToTheNineStayInCanada

From @coreyhogan.ca "The median Canadian is wealthier than the median American. Our net debt is lowest in G7. We're creating jobs at 4x the rate of the US. We're the most educated nation in the OECD. There will be hard days ahead. We need to support each other. But we got this." #ElbowsUp

💰 The median Canadian is wealthier than the median American. 💳 Our net debt is lowest in G7. 🔨 We're creating jobs at 4x the rate of the US. 🧑‍🎓 We're the most educated nation in the OECD. There will be hard days ahead. We need to support each other. But we got this.

I have found that there are times in one's life that to be able move forward successfully one needs to poke the bear “Canada has what the world wants We will not allow any nation to determine our future We will set our own course to keep building Canada strong for all” -PMMC #ElbowsUp #PokeTheBear

US is recalling 38M eggs for salmonella FDA highest risk level classification, death or severe illness Yeah between the poop lettuce, the killer eggs and who knows what else...we are only buying non US. Today...so thankful for the rain...

The UCP designed this referendum to divide Alberta. Let's choose something better. Vote NO to the 9. And vote to Remain in Canada. Let's build a vision together.

Bloomberg’s Editor in Chief Emeritus, Matt Winkler:  "One of the greatest investment periods in Canada that we’ve seen; money is pouring into Canada like we have not seen in a century."  We'll keep drawing investment and make sure we all benefit from it.

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
