My 2026 resolution is to radically reduce my use of "Twitter."

That low?

"Current party president Rob Smith has publicly estimated that the UCP base is two-thirds to 75 per cent separatist." #ableg #abpoli

@blaetter Sogenannte "checks and balances" sind nichts Wert. Man braucht ehrenhafte Politiker

@GregGinYYC Don't forget that Crescent Heights High School is DS' alma mater. Just imagine the horror she would have if she had to see any of those books in her former high school library.

With a heavy heart I asked other disaster managers that worked the #JasperWildfire straight up why mutual aid from Edmonton and larger departments like St Albert and Red Deer was not requested (I was with EFRS at the time and know for a fact we had trucks ready to go... Trucks and crews that would have made a difference in the WUI). I was told first hand that it was the province that waited. That botched it. That refused to provide the most basic level of mutual aid until it was too late. We were sent to mop up an already devastated town.

Jasper is not the one that needs to apologize...

It’s been six months since the Jasper wildfire, and this government has failed to deliver a single replacement home.

Over 600 families are still without housing because the UCP is using critical funding as a bargaining chip to force their agenda. Jasper deserves better.

Danielle Smith should cancel her trip to the Trump inauguration as an act of protest. Then she should get on Fox News and say “we respect the President -elect and want to work with him, but the joke has gone too far.” The fact that she won’t do this speaks volumes about Smith.

@EKMHA Maybe NN Driedger on the left?

The selenium gets into the water via rainwater running over newly exposed overburden rock surfaces. It then leaches into the river and water table. Your understanding of the issue is incorrect.

[Robert Tiessen @robfromcalgary]

@Kerabatsos_Don @JeromyYYC Why does it matter? The next federal election will happen before the next municipal election. Federal funding rules for cities will presumably be much different by then. #yyccc

Post your favorite "Desire Paths".

These are paths that naturally form as a result of bad planning.

@EScrimshaw American politicians still pay attention to what is in the Washington Post. Shockingly they don't read the Globe and Mail. It made strategic sense for the GoC to leak to the WaPo.

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

Of course, it's not even about the bike lanes. Depressing that @fordnation, @PrabSarkaria & PCs will play politics with our safety. I hope the approval ratings are worth the carnage that will ensue. 📷 @tomflood1

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

A red flag in someone's conversation: if the person (particularly an employee on a salary) transforms hierarchy into ownership by saying "my team", "my lab", "my analysts", "my department", etc., rather than "our" team, lab, analysts, etc.

If you were a former Minister of Justice who was sanctioned by the Law Society for calling the police chief about a traffic ticket, have your freedom of speech rights been infringed?
