We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!
@mario4thenorth If you believe you can do better, run for office. Stop being a contrarian and step up. We need to start supporting our leadership v saying 💩 to stir the pot. STEP UP and STOP being part of the problem.
.@ABDanielleSmith now we know.
You decided to give separatists a referendum and you already pre-recorded your tomorrow’s TV announcement, before the Legislature committee even had a chance to vote on the #ForeverCanadian petition.
The 500,000 Albertans don’t matter.

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.
He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.
The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.
Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.
Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.
This is why elaborative encoding works so well.
Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.
His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.
The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.
🚨🇺🇸 President Donald Trump reportedly offering cold hard CASH to Albertans to vote for independence?
Former Premier Jason Kenney is sounding the alarm, claiming a massive bribery scheme is in play to pull Alberta out of Canada and into the U.S. orbit. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
Is the "Free Alberta" movement about to get a billion-dollar boost from across the border?
The geopolitical map of North America is being rewritten in real-time.

Has the US made moves to cut out Russia and self supply? Please explain how the US can simply “take” what they want from another country? Are we watching them bully away resources and call it something else?
🚨 JUST IN: In a bombshell announcement, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth states that Iran must hand over its buried enriched uranium voluntarily to United States, or we have to do something else ourselves, we reserve the option like "Operation Midnight Hammer."
@ryangerritsen@RitaPanahi Snow Mexicans? Do your homework before you take shots. This is such a TINY PROPORTION of the population. The NDP doesn’t hold power in my province of AB nor do they hold power in Canada. With respect to rhetoric throat singing - that’s cultural that I can’t comment on.
While some goals loom over us throughout the day, some are ‘out of sight, out of mind.’
But placing prompts around the house can help us stay on track.
