NEWS 🚨: U.S. Space Command has confirmed that fragments of an interstellar meteor have been recovered in the Pacific Ocean

This is the first time humans have come in contact with something from another Solar System 😳

Instead of waiting for the auto industry to invent & sell robot cars, we could save lives now with speed limiters & geofencing (like on 60 lb scooters). We could shrink cars. We could slow them. We could require pedestrian protections. The automobile industry resists all of this.

@KostelecPlan Oh, it’s human error. Just not the human they think.

Our friends at @17thavesw want your feedback!

Would you like to see 17th Ave SW closed to vehicle traffic and pedestrianized at various times throughout the year?

But the rest of us *did not and do not* need unearthed bodies to know that a whole lot of kids died in IRS. We have plenty of evidence from many sources, archival and otherwise. @NCTR_UM has over 4,000 documented individuals.

Goodnight everyone.
Polls open around the same time you’ll be seen in this hospital.

#VoteNDP is already trending across Canada.

Let's keep it that way all day long.

Let's make sure people get out and vote!

Maybe the @albertaNDP should just tweet out the hospital wait times in #yyc over the last weekend of the election #ableg

Thinking about my former GoA colleagues today who didn’t get paid as they expected, I know there were times for me that I was counting my pennies before payday especially at the end of the month. Hope it gets resolved soon.

@Daorcey His three things for Calgary are 1: elbow drop, 2: elbow drop, and 3: elbow drop.

@asadyyc Shouldn’t we also have to vote on any tax decreases (to huge multinationals for example) with clear info on what programs are being slashed to cover that lost revenue? I mean if you accept that referendum is the right way to set tax policy <snort>

[Jalees Razavi @Jalees]

I was a foreign medical resident. Now I am the Chair of my specialty for the Royal College of Physicians and have helped thousands and thousands of Canadians. The problem isn’t foreign students. It’s the UCP government. #abpoli

This is xenophobic.

[David Coletto @DavidColetto]

Younger vs. Older Alberta

Likelihood to vote in #abvotes and vote choice by age (according to new @abacusdataca poll)

18 to 29: 42% (NDP 57%, UCP 32%)

30 to 44: 68% (NDP 54%, UCP 43%)

45+: 83% (UCP 57%, NDP 40%)

Older Alberta wins when younger Alberta doesn't vote.

[Jonathan Chapman @yyc_another_jc]

@alex_n_boyd @kieranleavitt Note that Danielle could absolutely do more right now - cut off central UCP resources to the local campaign like central $$ and especially access to their central database. Current approach is an embarrassment that says everything about Smith’s values.

[Wenda Ismay Toews🇨🇦 @ToewsWenda]

In a Wild Card Question During The Debate:

Both leaders of the NDP and UCP were asked to talk about something they admired about the other party’s choices or decisions over the last 4 years.

Notley graciously brought up two points about the UCP.

Smith blasted her own horn and then took a dig at the NDP.

Newsflash Smith, you made yourself look worse.
