Well this gave me the sad. Lloyd Robertson was a Canadian icon. I still miss his nightly sign offs.

Carney should be sending Poilievre a weekly thank-you bouquet because holy crap on a cracker. Devastating numbers for both the CPC, & Poilievre - who is trailing his own party’s polling by a full ten points. I don’t think it can get any worse for Poilievre. Rock bottom. #cdnpoli

Welcome to my “I told y’all so” weekend. And so it begins. #cdnpoli #ableg

My entire neighborhood smells like BBQ right now, and it’s wonderful. With all the storms we’ve had this summer, there’s not been enough BBQ smell wafting around these parts.

Just realized that expecting Gen Z to understand anything at all about the 80’s is akin to expecting me in the 80’s to understand anything at all about the 40’s from my Silent Generation grandparents. When the fuck did I get so old? When did that happen?

If you’re in Edmonton, get indoors NOW. Get off the streets and get indoors. You do not want to be in a vehicle when this hits. Seek shelter. Don’t fuck around and find out. #yeg #yegwx #abstorm

The vibe in Edmonton right now is best described as “collectively waiting for today’s ‘once in a generation storm’ to roll in”. Tomorrow’s vibe? More of today.

What in the hell is even going on with the CPC at this point? This isn’t just a repudiation of Poilievre - it’s an abject humiliation. Canadians are owed an EFFECTIVE opposition. It’s vital to the Westminster system. At this point, Poilievre serves as an ever present embarrassment. #cdnpoli

And just like that, upgraded to storm threat level orange. (insert all the worst curse words here) SO FECKIN OVER IT 😭😭😭 #yeg #yegwx #abstorm

Maybe it’s just me but a President who is in dire need of a remedial reading class doesn’t seem like such a great choice.

Trump's delivery is 😬

This on the daily extreme weather is giving Atwood’s post-apocalyptic, climate crisis tome “Oryx and Crake”. And as much as I love the “MaddAddam” trilogy, I’ve zero interest in living the books. #yeg #yegwx #abstorm #herewegoagain

If anyone is wondering how bad the storm got on the highway, my kid took vids from the back seat, just south of the city. Most terrifying drive of my entire life. I’m so glad to be home. #yeg #yegwx #abstorm

Most popular Premier in Canada, for good reason. This entire country could use more Wab Kinew 🫶

21 years ago today, Canada became the 4th country in the world, and 1st outside of Europe, to legalize same-sex marriage. The sky didn’t fall. Hell didn’t break loose. Only Canada’s capacity for love and acceptance increased. Now over 30+ countries have followed Canada’s lead.

Canada faces one of its most intense fire seasons. With nearly 1,000 active fires and an area as large as Belgium already burned, Prime Minister Carney says his country is facing one of the "most intense" wildfire seasons in its history u.afp.com/SrNH

The skies are getting noisy, #yeg. And the air just went dead still. There’s a big one incoming. Batten down the hatches.

Canada v USA 😂

Oh hey Edmonton - too many of you are seriously sleeping on going to an Elks game. This is mad fun, and great bang for the buck. The crowd is enthusiastic, the weather is pristine. Get you to an Elks game. And bring the whole family! #yeg #CFL

I have found that those who are most irate about film adaptations of fantasy books not being “lore accurate” because of actors with different skin colours have absolutely no problem with a white Jesus. Curious.

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

NGL, kinda love that “fuck your fascist pancakes!” has become the collective battle cry of Albertans who have had enough. #ableg #cdnpoli

Me, texting my friends who don’t have the central AC, seeing if anyone needs to crash in my guest room.

It’s 7 am, and 18 C in my backyard. Slather up with that SPF today, yeggers. It’s gonna be a scorcher. Wear a hat. Stay hydrated. Don’t leave your pets outside. STAY SKY AWARE 🌪️ 🌧️ 💨 #yeg

We commissioned a new legal opinion to determine whether Alberta's Bill 11 regulations comply with the Canada Health Act. The conclusion is clear: they do not. We're calling on the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act before Bill 11 takes effect on September 1.
