My hometown has a tree that everyone calls The Galahad Tree. A mystery person has been decorating it with seasonal displays for years. Drove by tonight to this. Cue the tears. Miss you so much, Dad. 😥

The most heartwarming (or should I say ‘hartwarming’) video of the year. #StanleyCup

Five of these people battled through Middle Earth to save it. One of us battled the icy QE2 through snow and slush to see them @Calgaryexpo. Pretty much the same. 😂 #lotr #lordoftherings #yyc #alberta

This was absolute peak to watch

From entering the atmosphere to traveling 25000 miles per hour down to parachutes coming out.

We rarely ever get to see stuff like this man, SHOUTOUT NASA ❤️

Turns out the ISS did!

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point

Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.

Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.

There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.

I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.

But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

A lot of yelling at the TV tonight to get Draisaitl off the ice and keep the puck away from him after he got to 999 points so I could, selfishly, have a chance to see his 1000th point in person tomorrow night in Montreal. 😂 #LetsGoOilers

We saw a couple of spectacular goals tonight from the @EdmontonOilers Connor McDavid.

But we all know who the real hero was in the building tonight!

100 year old Marty Jones from Lamont, Alberta who was there on D-Day!

To say I had a good weekend would be the understatement of the century. 😂 Had the chance to meet @RileyGreenMusic at Country Thunder Alberta yesterday and @jakeowen at the River Cree on Friday. I’m still swooning. 😍 - @RadioAndrea

Now vs. Then. A year ago, we were watching the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in the lobby of a hotel in Dublin on an iPhone 12 screen at 1am. This year, we’re watching it LIVE at Rogers Place. 💙🧡 #LetsGoOilers #yeg @CISNCountry
