Personal opportunity or desperation? https://edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/12/31/alberta-environment-minister-schulz-resigning-cabinet/ And the last cabinet minister to resign from the UCP government opines: Schultz is one of the UCP MLAs who are the subject of a recall petition (but with 24 of...

I think that the UCP Smith doesn't care whether it is constitutionally valid or not. As long as it is disruptive, it energizes her base. I view most of her political moves coloured by her history as a candidate for and winning a seat on the Calgary School Board (October 1998). She was clear...

Sometimes humans are still lunch . . . or at least fodder for comedians.

19 years, 2 months, 1 day, 2 hours. I think there have been responses to 20 year old posts, so it's not quite a record.

Adored for her sexuality and reviled (at least by Newfoundland seal hunters) for her activism and politics. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/28/brigitte-bardot-french-screen-legend-and-animal-rights-activist-dies

An interesting analysis by Duane Bratt (poli sci prof at MRU and opinion columnist at a few publications). https://substack.com/home/post/p-182265579

Probably not going to get an invite to Mar-a-Lago for Xmas/New Years this year.

Back in the day, we didn't have inappropriate GIFs . . . just inappropriate behaviour.

The laundry detergent of record was "OMA" . . . old man's away.

Yesterday as I was leaving a supermarket and walking by the employees' entrance, I spotted an "elf". Okay, it wasn't a real elf; I know they don't exist outside of Will Ferrell movies, Tolkienesque interpretations of Norse mythology or sitting on shelves. But in one of the few reminders of the...

That would depend on the "profession" of the spouse. By the time of my last three postings over there (to the bde until closure was announced, then up to Baden to close the BHosp, then back down to Lahr to close the CFH/base clinic), CFE was a reasonably well rounded Canadian community with...

That's why I'm waiting outside in my car until you leave.

At zero dark thirty when going to an ATM for an "emergency" withdrawal, I don't go in if I see more than one person (and sometimes don't enter with even one). I wait in the safety of my vehicle until they leave. It doesn't matter how they are dressed or their political/social views (though I...

Additional to above. https://lethbridgeherald.com/news/lethbridge-news/2025/12/19/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-ryan-tanners-phone-number/ Even if it is a bogus recall petition, there may not be a lot that the Election Commissioner can do about it. While he does have authority to investigate...

The UCP's belief in grassroots democracy now requires those grassroots to have deep pockets. https://www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/alberta-government-bumps-citizen-petition-fees-to-25k-in-amendment/

I read it as the emphasis will be on Chaplains to perform religious ceremony and not provide any 'ethical' guidance. Just as JAGs are being steered toward rubberstamping whatever action the current administration orders, I suspect that they prefer Chaplains only pray for ideal conditions to...

But it won't be "farmers" that are shipping fresh milk to Canadian processing plants. Just as it now works in Canada (and the US) the guy (or corporation) who owns and handles the teats has standing agreement with a major processor (or is part of a cooperative) that picks up the milk, tests it...

Apparently the US Army hasn't learned any lessons from providing less than adequate food service at some of their bases. Now they are looking to the private sector for ways to piss off recruits. https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-dining-basic-training/
