Be good. Bird looker, proud Canadian with Ukrainian roots, ex-angry scientist. I enjoy nature, sports, silly internet pictures & SCTV. Long term single blind n=1 study participant. YYC Albertan. He/him. A sometimes irrational mix of serious and silly.

The separatists in Alberta lost. Badly. Why we don't have to go around pretending otherwise -- and why those who keep trying to platform their voices and reason with their unreasonable grievances are doing more harm than good. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/26/o...

I went through the results for all 87 Alberta electoral divisions and built a series of maps and interactives to show how the vote varied across the province — and how closely some of those patterns track Alberta’s political geography 📊s, 🗺️s, and more ⬇️ #ableg #abpoli

I always like to point out to racists how we treated previous generations of immigrants, especially the ones we like nowadays. Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, irish, Greek, or Indian, waves of immigrants have always brought out the xenophobic among us. We need to call it out whenever we can.

From 1914 to 1920, Canada unjustly interned 8,500 Ukrainians and other Europeans in 24 camps. This weekend, I attended the unveiling of an exhibit at The Military Museums. Thank you to the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation for preserving this history.

Ya-hoooooooo! #Flames Was sort of hoping that Gridin would get an empty netter for a hat-trick* since a Flames player hasn't got one since April 2024.

Flames win!!! Definitely have to celebrate the wins when they come this year!

One of the best Internet experiences is being told of the existence of someone who sucks but only so you can then be told that they just lost an election

Second of two nice top-shelf snipes by Gridin, and he does The Griddy.

Checking in McDrai: 45 points CalTop5: 33 points #Flames To be fair, McDavid on his own with 33 points right now is madness.

I'm trying to be optimistic, with young guys eventually getting on a roll. But, yeah, 75 (or less) is possible. Just hoping that Calgary's top 5 scorers points added together is more than McDavid + Draisaitl.

Nobody will say it but if you put those same 9 questions Albertans just voted on in front of basically any province in Canada and I don't think the results would be dissimilar

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

As November elections near, and the possibility of Trump facing consequences increases, I expect his actions to become more desperate and aberrant. Like the end of his first term, and for the last election.

omg, that explains so much

Thought of this last night, but I was so tired I was having problems even focusing my vision. When I woke up and it was still in my head, I had to do it.
