I've wasted far too much time in front of various electronic display screens. I can't recall wasting time out in nature. So why do I not get out into nature more?

Our AB govt is focusing on brush fires, while the HC system is burning down. It’s all shiny new “fire trucks”, without the teams to keep the trucks running, help fight the fires, and do the fire prevention in the first place. canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/11/28/thi…

Extremely powerful column from Dr. Paul Parks, former President of the Alberta Medical Association: “This is how a health system burns to the ground”

Every Alberta parent should read this report and ask their MLA why this report's recommendations have not been implemented: open.alberta.ca/dataset/b0ad85…

Best noctilucent clouds I've seen from Calgary since 2021! These "night shining" clouds are polar mesospheric clouds that exist near 80km above Earth. #yyc

@JMeddings @calgaryherald Some big staff contracts to pay and "There's been a couple of major campaigns we discovered that we needed to do." cbc.ca/amp/1.7487364

@calgaryherald I mean, we have money for US trips, Tylenol, restructuring (disintegrating), overpriced CSF's, pipelines to nowhere.... but we can't afford the minimum to sustain and care for sick people? Alberta, give your head a shake....

In some ways this seems silly. However, it is indicative of the massive underfunding of healthcare by GoA. There are many 'popsicles' and they are killing us. Braid: No popsicles for cancer kids under heartless new hospital rules calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald

And this tracks entirely with the DM we recieved recently…

Danielle Smith will spend bags of cash travelling to the US to get her fangirl on... She'll use a childrens medication shortage as a crisis to throw taxpayers dollars into an abyss... But popsicles for kids fighting cancer? That's just too much money. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@DonBraid calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…

No popsicle treats for cancer kids; no meals for people stuck for days on ER hallways. What on earth is UCP thinking? Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… #ableg #abhealth #abpoli #cdnpol #cdnhealth #yyc #yeg

@healeytypes @doctorow This. Every Canadian/ Federal government official who claims to be serious about defending Canada needs to meet, plan, bring in the best and the brightest (@doctorow and the likes) to make this happen! Waiting is no longer an option! This needs to happen!

NEW COLUMN. Danielle Smith answers critics, says it's time to give Trump a win calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #Trudeau #Trump #DanielleSmith #cdnpoli #ableg #Alberta #albertafirst

Are Albertans going to be subsidizing the electrical grid needs of these Mega Data Centres that O'Leary wants to build in our province (on reservations that said they don't want them), and Smith has agreed to? Does that mean our utility prices will go up further, as well?

Someone just repeated a great Margaret Thatcher quote “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
