Alberta and Avalanche Canada have had a funding agreement for decades. The province has not renewed the agreement for 2026/27 and is so far refusing to say whether it will. Only that it's under review. The amount? $250,000. Avalanche Canada is now considering cutting services in Alberta.

Hello @mark-carney.bsky.social I am sure you are well aware of the Canadian and global fire situation. I am sure you understand the connection to our changing climate. I am sure you know the changing climate is being driven by our energy related emissions. How will a new pipeline help this?

My relatives live in Summerland. No word from them yet. The official government position is to accept these fires as new reality while simultaneously building more pipelines & gas plants. Absolutely unreal @danielbachman.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Fuuuuuck this capitulating, weak-ass, Neville Chamberlain-level bullshit. Our line should be either Trump drops ALL of his tariffs and his attacks on Canada's sovereignty or we start banning even more American shit. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Anna Swan was much more than someone who grew to be 7'11". She acted in Shakespeare, excelled in music and loved to play the piano. She lived the life she wanted, and found her soulmate in the process. This is the story of a fascinating woman. 🧵 1/9

A sepia-toned vintage studio portrait photograph from the 19th century shows a very tall woman, Anna Swan, standing to the left and wearing a plaid full-length dress with puffed sleeves, a high collar, a beaded necklace, and a decorative tiara on her head. She poses with one hand resting on her hip. To her right stands a much shorter man dressed in a formal suit with a bow tie, his arms crossed as he looks up toward her. The background is plain, and the floor has a patterned carpet.

Canada's most prominent white supremacist group posted pix of its national meeting last month. CBC's visual investigations team pinpointed it to a hall in Millarville, a rural hamlet just southwest of Calgary. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

we could stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow and we'd still have wildfires consuming houses for the next decades there's a long lag between CO2 emissions, rising global temps, and climate change. today's wildfires were set in motion years ago still need to reduce emissions to prevent further change

there's nothing like daring to criticize the federal NDP to get the leftists to attack me (and to miss the point) another example of how the far-left is just as bad as the far-right

i support the WestJet strike and the demand for getting paid for all hours on the job but the NDP's unwillingness to have the federal govt eve intervene in any labour dispute is one reason i could never support the federal NDP. inconvenience to Cdns and impact on businesses must be considered

when someone lies about the little things--things that can be easily disproven--it makes it so much easier to lie about the big things
