Jeremy Appel seems to be live-posting this event on Bluesky.

Truer words ne’er were spoken.

Is anyone going to be live-posting on here from the Lethbridge panel on water, coal mining and selenium with Smith and minions starting today at 5:30?

Calgary’s Air Quality is 192. For comparison Ottawa’s is 64.

Canada, a nation divided? No-no, we are united coast to coast to coast by our combustion and smoke: firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu...

Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown, without council's knowledge, and without the knowledge or consent of Airdrie citizens, pursued a private hospital using city resources in concert with a big developer, Qualico, and with the premier's advisor Rob Anderson, who is unelected. There should be a public inquiry.

"The trip, organized in collaboration with the AB gvmt, ... [included] a visit to the Calgary Stampede, a meeting with members of the tourism industry in Banff, a day trip to the oilsands and a tour of the province's grain and beef farms." Because none of these senators knew anything about AB:

The speed with which the country is disassembling! I keep wondering how the regime thinks the US will function without Black and brown people, in a white fantasia. The people left won’t be able to feed themselves, heal themselves, build their homes, or flavor their food. What a choice!

“When I was a kid, I lived for summer. I didn't live in fear of fire season.” Future children deserve to live for summer too. They deserve to live period.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

I thought waaay better of novelist and nonfiction writer David Richards too. Shocking in both cases.

Or, in the case of Alberta "separatists," thinking "the US is a friendly, great, congenial country, and we'd like to ditch Canada and be 4th-class Americans" (at best).

Just looked up and a great blue heron was flying by on its way to the river. I feel bad for all the beings who live outside though in the smoke.

This is the consumer power Danielle Smith wants Albertans to surrender:

Are you curious about expanding your social research practice to include nonhuman species, but don’t know where to start? Come and join this immersive three-day workshop at the University of Manchester, with a mix of indoor seminars and outdoor fieldwork: store.southampton.ac.uk/short-course...

If there was an association for people whose minds are totally subsumed by oil and gas, such as the Smith woman, it would be called Bitumensa.

A few interesting preventative measures re: ticks: www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Everyone who drinks from the Old Man River downstream from Rocky Mt. east slope coal projects should show up at this Ft. Macleod town hall. Those who irrigate food crops using OMR water should also be there. Let Smith and Co. know how you feel. That's the scariest bunch of Grifters I have ever seen
