Oh no. I am so sorry to hear your mom is not well. I would be through the roof about this delay. Itās not like you can take her to emergency yourself or anything without major complications. I wish I had suggestions besides phoning mlaās & AHS officials.

Yup. Iāll join this cause.

I am glad you had some joy to chase away the blues. It is hard to remain optimistic sometimes.

He shouldnāt have enlisted those yahoos to form the UCP and in getting him into power. Heās right but I still donāt trust him. Heās just trying to weasel his way back into politics.

Itās distressing isnāt it. But on the other side of the coin, we put up a Canadian flag. So did a neighbour. We also have a āhate has no home hereā sign. The other day we had a letter in our mailbox asking where we got our flag & commenting in agreement on the hate sign. There is hope!

If you figure it out, let me know. I suspect I wonāt find my way out until the world settles again. Which I feel in my bones may not be for a long time.

Yummy! I can feel the juiciness of those cherries. I just post a photo of our cherry tree blossoms. Hoping to have a few cherries this summer!

I am still not artistically active right now. Just enjoying a slower pace to life, taking care of health issues, cooking, gardening, reading books, playing games, fighting fascism. You know.....living!

Worse yet they are run by Americans funded by Russia. Just watch a thing on that. Will see if I can find it again.

Exactly. The elevator was supposed to be fixed the weekend, but wasnāt so they are going on week 3. They donāt have 1 person dedicated to running the stair lift so it takes upwards of an hour to have someone come to take a person down.

If there was an emergency, like a fire, those residents would not be able to get out unless they have good mobility. My MIL does not have good enough mobility to go up and down stairs.
This is the 2nd time this year theyāve been without an elevator. Unacceptable. 2/2

It will never happen, but what this all does is stains Albertaās reputation. It makes investors look elsewhere. It makes other Canadians sneer at us. It fast tracks Alberta to a have not province where we lose big time. Add in the privatization of health care & I predict bankruptcy for Alberta.

Until all Albertanās get off their butts to protest and swamp them with angry letters it wonāt stop. I feel like they are rushing everything through before parliament resumes.

Well, I think the Ab NDP is that party, but understand and support the need for a new Conservative Party. Perhaps the Alberta Party would be open to a make-over and renaming. Iād go back to calling it the Progressive Conservatives.

How much would that cost to do? If Canada Post doesnāt go on strike again.

Have a binder with essential paperwork at the very least. The EU did a video awhile ago about an emergency preparedness kit. Thats what motivated me to actually do it even though weāre less likely to need it than we were living in the country. May long weekend was always terrifying out there.

This is why the conservative parties are authoritarian. Petulant whiny children who I wish would run away from home.

Stay safe. I hope youāve got a grab and go box prepared. That was something we always talked about having ready, but never did it when we were in the country. Now we have it though.
comment in response to

Yes, me too. I think a lot of Canadians felt that way. Left leaning parties supporting right wing parties has to be a no go without a really, really good reason. I hope the NDP can bring their status back up, but itās going to be really hard.

He should have been the NDP leader. This election would have looked vastly different if he was. I am heartbroken the NDP lost so many seats. A Liberal NDP majority would have been great for Canada. I hope Carney can repair the rift & stop the BS.

It really is depressing. Thereās such a clear division between hate & tolerance. Iām not really even sure the world can ever come back from this (because this is much bigger than just a Canada problem). I appreciate Charlie Angus, but am upset he has left politics.

They really donāt understand the issues at all. Can they not see and understand that all levels of conservative government cut public institutions so that corporations can run them and profit? Can they not understand that private health care is not beneficial in any capacity?

If this is what the majority of Albertanās or Canadianās want, to destroy our democracy & public good, how do you fight that? I am dismayed by the sweeping blue across Alberta & Saskatchewan. There could not have been more warning signs & yet people seem to want chaos & corruption. š

Iām just so depressed living here under this regime. I am saddened so many Canadianās chose the hateful cons instead of the 3 other parties actually trying to make Canada better. Yes the Liberals won, but it was far too close.

Belated happy anniversary. May you have many more!

I really enjoyed reading your insights on this. Canada has a lot of work ahead to squash these disinformation machines and extremists in politics. The Liberals got my vote too. We need calm, steady leadership both at home & internationally.

Yup, that was my problem.

The Maga people are out hard with rhetoric praising Carney desperate for Canadians to be stupid enough to fall for reverse psychology! So Iām feeling more confident PP is about to spectacularly lose.

Thatās the one bird we always had when we lived in the country that I failed to ever get a good photo of. I hope you fare better.

Very pretty. Can I ask what pattern? I am toying with doing a cotton or linen sweater for summer.

I hope if Carney wins and opens inter- provincial trade we can buy cases of maple syrup instead of just the grocery store kinds.

Sad there is no strategic vote in Red Deer. Our riding would vote for chicken shit as long as it was with the Conservative Party, which just may be what our con candidate is. I voted for love, unity, equality, and the party with the most capable leader.

We frequently go to the coast in Spring. I am always so sad to leave.
I also love crows. I was lucky to be able to photograph many on this trip, so expect to see more.
