Smith said on CBC “I hope you’ll also interview Paul McLauchlin” (Rural Municipalities of Alberta prez) “b/c they passed a motion asking for us to pause” renewables. So I did. RMA never requested a pause, “never thought it was even a possibility” https://t.co/qntl2gqe1Z #ableg
After 5.5 years of city cycling I got hit for the first time tonight. I had 1 kid with me. I'm so mad. I was on a MUP, at an intersection & driver had a stop sign. I made eye contact & he slowed. Then he turned right into us, hitting my back tire.

@conradnobert That's us near Stony Plain Road and 149 street. Love the neighbourhood, hate trying to walk out of it. Even before the construction started.
Anyone else living in #yeg (>10 years) feel like it's grown too crowded? I've never lived outside AB. I've just been feeling crowded out. Might be pandemic side effect? & some places have < hours, so more ppl in fewer hours too. I just really don't like going places anymore. 😢
@conradnobert This guy has fixed both our washer and dryer, and they now both run better than when we moved in 8+ years ago. Quick response, very knowledgeable and thorough, and I like his dry sense of humour. The cat likes him too. Might be >1 guy, but same both times

Friends who haven't come over to Mastodon, I miss you. I know it's different, but that's not a bad thing. I've been avoiding this place, and trying to get up the courage to eventually leave it completely. It would sure help to have a few more friends on the other place.

NEWS: Multiple sources tell me the Law Society of Alberta special meeting has voted AGAINT repealing a rule used to require lawyers undergo Indigenous education.
In my entire life I've never seen a Premier so brazenly discuss transforming our healthcare system into what the Americans have.
Fundraise for my healthcare? In Canada? Are you literally joking?
Maybe Legal Aid doesn't believe that waiting indefinitely for a lawyer is the same thing as not being able to get one. It's the same thing. And the delays are hugely prejudicial to those waiting. #ableg#abpoli
Manslaughter and child custody cases at risk over legal aid job action, say judges | CBC News

The only viable alternative for us right now is East Coast, which would be very different, smaller than ideal, and have its own challenges - including impact from climate change. Not to mention distance from both sets of parents. 😞 There's no winning.
Even if DS is gone by May, I don't know how much I really want to stay here. So much damage has already been done, with more to come, & AB has become so divided. Plus I feel like #yeg has outgrown me. I'm a small town girl. I'm getting tired of the city.
I've always been a bit torn between big city and small (100,000 - 400,000 would be ideal for me), but the more #yeg sprawls & struggles with growth, the less happy I am. My kids' childhood is very different than mine, in many ways.
SARS v1.0: After 10 years, they are still experiencing fatigue, muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath and some are developing neuropathy, numbness in the feet and hands. And that was with just ONE infection. #COVID19 https://t.co/nmY3ydgaoq
The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.
