Teacher. Drummer. Mom. Want to have drinks with Sarah Vowell & Jane Goodall. Big fan of bawdy humour, semi-colons, and sarcasm. Would eat hockey on toast.
Another horse was killed in the chuckwagon races at the @calgarystampede last night. The 2024 death toll so far: 3 horses, 1 young cow whose neck was snapped. This carnage of innocent animals represents the absolute worst of humanity. One night to go.
Soooo a Calgary woman is charged for leaving her dog in a hot car causing death, but those who cause the deaths of other animals at the #CalgaryStampede are well within the law? Because a dog and calf somehow suffer differently? Make it make sense.

Fantastic! Within 72 hours of a strike involving liquor, the Ford team launches an interactive map. During the biggest pandemic in 3 generations Ford team does nothing and leaves it to private volunteers to create a system to locate vaccines to help save their lives. Priorities.
How about an interactive map showing people where they can find healthcare when their local ED is closed due to lack of staffing?
Where the homeless can seek shelter, and families working to make ends meet can find a food bank?
Or a map of COVID safe businesses?
Of course someone representing the very industry being opposed says issue is “emotional,” not ‘backed by science.’ Of course they choose to ignore science of sentience & animal welfare. Those w/ financial interest can’t be trusted sources in these stories. https://t.co/mcietpRduW
Nothing quite sums up the hegemonic project of covid normalisation, and the total disregard for the lives of the vulnerable necessary to that project, like the last polio survivor living in an iron lung being killed by covid
Can we start a campaign to retroactively allow former students to participate in their graduation? Class of 94. Brookfield high school. I’d love to throw a hat in the air.
WATCH: Senator @dalphondpierre beautifully expresses the need for animal protection Bill S-15 in the Senate. If passed, the bill would phase out elephant & great ape captivity & the use of these animals in performances for entertainment! 🐘 🦧💙
Let’s be real if Matthews took a slap shot into the empty net Sportsnet would run a documentary with Ron MacLean narrating the history of the slap shot with a boring anecdote that nobody cares about while 1/2
