Didn’t his son die of cancer, and yet he has no concern about contaminating water? (Not saying his son’s cancer was water-related.)

So they make it possible for coal companies to sue the govt, and then they say that their hands are tied because companies can sue the govt. And their remedy is to poison the water to southern AB to avoid lawsuits....🙃

I only just started using the app a few weeks ago so I won’t really miss it. If it’s going to be AI, I’d sooner just use my field guides.

My sister married an insurance agent. It doesn’t make me one, nor does it mean I have coverage with Great West Life.

Poignant memories of all-you-can-eat restaurants in North Dakota and Florida…

What I notice here is that she has nothing to say for herself, offers no defence or even a half-baked rationalization and can only insist on receiving “respect.”

And he’s ok then with poisoning the water with selenium on the reservations in southern Alberta then?? What’s the logic of his reference to ancestry or rather relationships?

My new appliance repair guy told me today that a new circuit board for my LG microwave would cost so much it’s not worth it. And that some repair experts get burned out because so many appliances are built to fail and it depresses them.

It isn’t Conservatives who support literature and the other arts, or the appreciation or teaching thereof, that’s for sure.

I like him very much personally.

He’s very Catholic and has a fiercely dualist morality. But I didn’t think he’d do this. He’s retiring this year so making a pointedly pointy point, I guess.

Exactly. I was content opening the windows wide in the mornings, using just two 6-inch fans to pull the cool morning air in, blocking the sun, closing windows at noon, opening again for the evening and night. Now I’m fearing the 30+ days w/o AC.

One thing I detest is how every impulse or plan gets deferred or cancelled. E.g., I was thinking a retractable screen door, or maybe two, would substitute for AC (don't have AC). Spent several hours researching different brands and then the smoke showed up, making that a ridiculous solution.

I've got two French lilacs and a Miss Kim lilac in bloom in my yard, but I can't even open a window or sit on the deck (for more than a few minutes).

Ditto. I feel like a prisoner and I’m having to work on my disposition, which is normally no work at all.

Moe does everything Smith does and before her Kenney did. SK could spare themselves the expense of running their own govt. And while they’re lobbying to put an end to Canada the country they want to join is in chaos. Good idea!!!

I repeat: The acute crises of ventilator shortages may be essentially over, and the unvaccinated vulnerable may be mostly dead, but COVID remains a chronic, grinding threat to long-term health outcomes, to socioeconomic stability and social cohesion.

So am I. We deserve someone much better. He should be a carpet remnant salesman (just to make something up for him).

This guy is so utterly deluded, conventional and/or unethical it makes my teeth hurt just to see his photo or his words quoted.

I think #Bitumensa deserves its own entry in the DSM.
