I grew up Catholic & went to parochial schools , but am now an atheist . Anyone advocating for putting religion/ Bible in schools needs to listen. Our kids don’t need religion.

✈️ CBC's Go Public found Air Canada denied compensation over “safety” cancellations after moving working planes to other routes. One passenger proved the explanation involved a different aircraft and won $1,000. No fines were issued. Should airlines face penalties?

It's so interesting, to me, how Canadians (that I'm aware of) and Brits pronounce "sixth" differently. Canadians say "sicks-th", whereas Brits say "sick-th". It's a subtle difference, but I always notice it.

I'm an Albertan that watched AB's Premier pander to Separatists for months, rejig legislation to benefit those Separatists, all in order to hold a referendum that would benefit her further policies. Then she blamed others when her preferences burned to the ground. Hold my beer . . .

There is no deal to be had with the US. They will lie shamelessly, and when the elections are over they'll pretend someone else made their promises. They've done it before, they will do it again. The word of the US is worthless. Surely we are not this stupid.

When he dies we're all tying balloons to our cars. Millions of us. It will be instantly visible how much he was hated. Keep balloons in your car. Be ready.

Pragmatic ABns will be reading this & nodding their heads. UCP Separatists have tainted Smith's gov. NDP leadership 'too long explanations', too 'missing in action' exhausted??? from trying to support non-Separatists in their home constituencies? But many ABns 'on side' for getting rid of Smith.

This is how I've felt for years as an Albertan living in the chaos of voters who use too few critical thinking skills, and believe in 'pie in the sky' every damn election.

If sound waves can put out a fire, imagine how sound waves can affect our brains. Is it any wonder that in some construction areas/loud music venues, some residents can't abide the noise? Some choose to move during construction phase. Admins shld recognize the damage that sound does to some ppl.
