I was born in Alberta. I grew up on a rural farm in Alberta. The majority of my life has been spent in Alberta. I live in Alberta right now.
But I am Canadian first always.
Like the majority of Albertans, I do not, and will never, support separation from Canada.

Hey Kingston!!
Poilievre will be at Kimco Steel this Wednesday April 2, 6:00 p.m. to spew his hate and lies.
Pretty sure most of us do not want his style of bullshit in our great city.
You know what to do... #ElbowsUp lots of signs, lots of noise, see you there!

How any human being on earth can look and listen to this smarmy waste of human spark is beyond me, he is as greasy as it gets.

The photo shows Gordie Howe in a red Detroit Red Wings jersey with the winged wheel logo, holding a hockey stick and wearing worn red gloves. He’s seated against a dark background, likely from the mid-20th century.

On this day in 1928, Gordie Howe was born in Floral, Saskatchewan.
An icon of Canada, he is considered by some to be the greatest NHL player ever. During his 26 NHL and six WHA seasons, he rewrote the record book.
This is the story of Mr. Hockey!

Important statement from Athana Mentzelopoulos, a sincere and honourable woman, AHS's former CEO

"An army of lawyers at Bennet Jones has been hired to defend the govt, I assume at great expense to the taxpayer. I am worried there's a strategy to bring me to my knees financially."

Mark Carney’s transition team issues a statement saying they have divested all of his assets (expect personal real estate) into a blind trust.

The blind trust documents were sent to the ethics commissioner when the leadership results were announced Sunday night.

Hainsworth finished the season with 22 shutouts, a record that stands to this day.
No other goalie has recorded more than 15 shutouts in a season. 
Hainsworth never records more than eight shutouts in a season. He will finish his NHL career with 94 shutouts, a record that stands for decades.

Mike Myers playing Elon Musk on SNL and then busting out a CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE SHIRT at the end of the show is exactly the energy we need right now. 🤛❤️🇨🇦

Provincial elections are provincial.
ON electorate responsible for Ford.
AB for Smith.
We can all be mad that 🇨🇦's are ignorant about civics and current events. Makes them easy targets of right wing dis-info/conspiracy at Fed level.
Then they vote poorly for CON locally 🤷‍♀️.
We need to fix this!

Well I know you won't be busy shopping on Feb 28th because of the economic blackout...so why not fill your day with solidarity for someone in Alberta that's been standing up for all of us against corruption in Alberta?

I snowblow a path from our back gate to under our deck for the local rabbits to help them evade predators.
I call it Highway 4-0-Bun.
I’m not ashamed
and I am celebrated in the bunny community.

Two officers end up in the hospital after accidental drug exposure

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

Princess Juliana of the Netherlands and her family took refuge in Ottawa, Canada during World War II. The princess gave birth to her third child, Princess Margriet, at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa in 1943.

How did the princess and her family arrive in Ottawa?

• In May 1940, Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard fled the Netherlands to the United Kingdom

• The following day, Queen Wilhelmina and the Dutch government also fled to the United Kingdom

• Princess Juliana and her two young daughters traveled to Ottawa by train

• They lived in Stornoway in the suburb of Rockcliffe Park

What happened after the war?

In 1945, the Dutch royal family returned to the Netherlands after the Allies liberated the country

In gratitude for Canada's hospitality, the Dutch royal family sent thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa

• This gift became an annual tradition

• The tulips are planted in two flower beds in Ottawa, one at the Ottawa Hospital

I remember my mum telling me about Princess Juliana giving birth to Margriet at the Civic hospital, and I think they did something like marking off a space in the hospital as honorary(?) Netherlands soil, so the baby could be 'officially' born on Netherlands land.

And our tulip festival lives on 🥰
