Born in a log cabin on the shores of Gichi Gami. I was dancing in a kickline at the Dog & Sled Saloon when one night a wild young stranger came in. Saskatchewan now home.
for those wondering if Melania knew..
here's her statement: "some will go to Russia, some to Ukraine"
After Russia invaded Ukrainian city, stole children and people with disabilities, cut off utilities, tortured and starved the rest.
DETAILS (as predicted):
FT: Residents of Oleshky who want to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia.
Zelenskyy warned about exactly this scenario.
My take: Russia will do a propaganda movie about people βsavedβ (not starved) by RU, amplified by DC.
The other customers in the shop - an Iranian couple with a young son - helped us pick out the right things to buy. And as we walked home, I shook my head, trying to understand the xenophobia behind those terrible referendum questions. This IS the Alberta I want - cosmopolitan, happy, thriving.
My central neighbourhood has been βin transitionβ ever since we moved here in 1992. So many of the restaurants and shops that keep the area vibrant and walkable are owned by new immigrant entrepreneurs, whose successful small businesses actually raise my residential property values!
After we rolled up our sleeves, we walked to the far end of the little commercial strip, where a little Iranian deli/bakery/grocery store has just opened. We bought sumac, and pomegranate molasses and some sweet limes. Time to start experimenting with Iranian flavours. #yeg
This afternoon, my husband & I walked up to a newish pharmacy in our neighbourhood to get flu & Covid shots. The pharmacy is located in a long-vacated branch of the Royal Bank, in a slightly tatty strip mall. The young pharmacist told us he emigrated to Canada 10 years ago, from Nigeria via the UK.
BREAKING: Carney says U.S. trade talks are finally gaining momentum, not because Canada is caving, but because Trump is "coming closer to OUR position." Walking away from a bad deal in August was the right call. When you stand your ground, the bully eventually blinks. πͺ π¨π¦
As the son of immigrants, FUCK YOU Rempel and FUCK Maple MAGAT Conservatives in general. The CPC, the party of hate and division, it's all they have.
And by the way good luck BC your protest vote is going to bite you in the ass.
Eby, you're a putz.
Stephen Harperβs spouse and the doyenne of the πgun cult gushing over apartheid-reared πΊπΈNazi Elon Muskβs Starlink internet service.
He just used it to hinder πΊπ¦Ukraineβs struggle to defend against π·πΊRussian war criminals.
Now is the time for Carney & his ministers to educate in Alberta, educate on our tax system, educate on immigration, educate on climate & water. We let them have their tantrum we must end this bs, if the seppies do not like it, hit the airport!
Can the mainstream media please stop talking about Alberta's grievances with the feds
If I have to hear one more whinny a$$hole talk about how hard done by he is I will shoot my TV
Times are hard for everyone on the planet - grow up
The conservative party is full of leaders who are vocally against
- LGBTQ & trans rights
- women's rights
- science
- anything that does not directly benefit a wealthy white man.
Congratulations. You elected the MAGA wannabes. You will definitely get change. And it's going to hurt.
For every moron that voted conservative in BC today you deserve every rotten thing they will do to you & your community. Within 18 months the separatists will descend & you can feel the divide like Alberta has. No pride flags allowed. Some book banning. Oversight in municipalities. Lies daily. Enjoy
Signed this day in Paris, in 1295 β The first treaty forming the Auld Alliance between Scotland and France, granting Scots in France citizenship.
In the 1920s, Dundonian Harry MacElhone - owner of Harry's Bar, In Paris - was threatened with deportation, he claimed citizenship. He won his case.
Tonight David Eby is going to resign, and then hand the province over to a group dedicated to screwing over First Nations. So seriously, f*ck him, his ego and greed for doing this, and wasting all our time for the next 4 years, fighting them.
John Ibbitson compares Alberta and Quebec separatist movements: "What you don't have in Alberta is that deep-seated nationalist sense, and what you don't have is that quality of leadership. These are, I hate to say it, very petty men."
βThe biggest lie in Canadian politics is that the mainstream media is βleft-wing.β Conservative-backed, U.S. hedge-fund-owned outlets dominate Canadian news and endorse the CPC election after election.
βThe media isnβt biased against Pierre Poilievre β it tried to get him elected.β
π A Canadian classic takes the world stage. Chapmanβs Pecan Butter Tart Premium Ice Cream earned the Best Ice Cream award at the International Ice Cream Conference in Argentina. π¦π·
Inspired by an iconic Canadian dessert, this flavour proved that a true Canadian favourite could win hearts globally. π
On this day in 1993, Joe Carter hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays at Skydome. They defeated the Philadelphia Phillies four games to two. It was the second-straight World Series title for the team.

David Frum writing for the Atlantic journal made an interesting comment yesterday.
He said βthe Alberta vote was Trumpβs first midterm lossβ.
Canada will happily take a bow π¨π¦ π
