In Alberta, a common response to the question "How's life? " is often a simple "Busy". Being busy, is a matter of pride for us. How do people in your province typically answer?

PLAN B PARAGUAY@planbparaguay·
People say there are “no activities for children and families” in Paraguay. Really? Archery, swimming, horseback riding, show jumping, tennis, padel, soccer, basketball, volleyball, martial arts, ballet, golf, bowling, chess, badminton, table tennis, fencing, painting, motorbike riding, ATVs, waterparks, arcades, trampolines, and endless private club activities. Or you can hand them an iPad and call that childhood. I know which one I’d rather choose for my children.

Carney is moving ahead on a new pipeline to get Canadian oil to global markets, something Alberta has been demanding for years. And yet, Alberta is STILL complaining. First it was “we need pipelines.” Now it’s “not this one,” “not fast enough,” or “not good enough.” At some point it stops being about pipelines and starts looking like a province that just wants to be perpetually mad no matter what happens.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Karla Treadway | Host Sovereign Sphere Podcast
Chief Allan Adam is the lead voice of the First Nations coalition that brought the legal challenge that killed the citizen-led Alberta separation petition. He went on CBC to celebrate the ruling. He called it a "great win for Canada and for democracy." But here is what CBC didn't ask him about. Chief Allan receives foreign interference money. The Tides Foundation is a left-wing lobby organization based in San Francisco who wired $55,000 directly to Chief Allan Adam's bank account to oppose the oil sands. Shortly after receiving that money, Adam flew to Toronto to sit on a stage next to Neil Young to publicly demonize Canada's energy industry. CBC themselves reported that various American funders contributed an estimated $40 million to Canadian environmental and Indigenous groups with one specific goal.... to landlock Alberta crude by blocking pipeline construction. Researcher Vivian Krauss attributed the cancellation of Northern Gateway, Energy East, Keystone, and Trans Mountain directly to this coordinated American-funded campaign. Chief Allan Adam was part of that campaign. He gladly took the money. This is real foreign interference in Canada's energy economy. And the same man who took American money to block Canadian prosperity is now the man leading the charge to block Albertans from having a democratic vote on their own future. Meanwhile he REAPS the benefits of tax payer money from the very same industry profits. The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation's own audited financial statements tell a story that Chief Adam did not mention once during his CBC interview. Combined with existing assets and real estate holdings, the band is sitting on close to $300 million. And the registered population of this band? 1,567 people total. With only 33 people living on reserve. That works out to roughly $9 million per person on reserve and Canadian taxpayers are still sending them $10 million a year plus a $100 million lump sum payout. Meanwhile this reserve has no public accounting of money spent since 2021. That's five years of missing financial disclosures. No accountability. No transparency. And the money keeps flowing. Chief Adam has been doing this for years: 2018 — The National Post reported his complaints were complicating the Liberal review of the Frontier Oil Sands mine. The Alberta government publicly stated his concerns were about money, not environment. 2018 — Despite publicly criticizing fossil fuel developers and hosting anti-oil activists including Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam signed a benefit agreement with Teck after what he described as positive negotiations. His opposition was for sale. 2020 — Adam was stopped by RCMP outside a Fort McMurray casino for an expired license plate, resisted arrest, and publicly accused the officers of "racist" treatment. The RCMP was cleared. No evidence of misconduct was found. Chief Allan Adam did not vote against Alberta separation. He did not organize Albertans to vote against it. He went to court to make sure Albertans never got to vote on it at all. Over 300,000 Albertans signed that petition. They followed the law. They used the exact democratic mechanism the Legislature created for them. And a judge threw every one of those signatures in the garbage. A man taking money from foreign interference organizations who also massively benefits from Alberta prosperity is taking democratic rights away from Albertans. Yet he thinks this is a "win for democracy." Canadians you are being scammed in every way possible.

Today started with a frantic rush to get out of the house on time for an appointment. Cats were being assholes, the kid didn’t want to leave, spam callers and a spilled carton of milk slowing things down. Right before heading out, I remember standing in the kitchen with my keys hanging out of my mouth trying to find a back pocket to put my phone in. I couldn’t find one and somehow concluded my pants must be backwards. So I took them off right there in the kitchen, turned them around, and put them back on and racing out the door feeling oddly proud of myself for catching it before making a fool of myself in public. Then came a 45 minute drive to the eye doctor with my 11 year old, which already feels like preparing for an Arctic expedition when you live in rural Saskatchewan because every trip requires snacks, water bottles, fuel calculations, weather awareness and at least one deep sigh while looking at the gas gauge. After that we met friends for lunch, which was lovely except I spent part of it wondering why something felt “off.” Not wrong enough to investigate. Just... spiritually suspicious. Then I had to buy a replacement gas cap because apparently my truck has entered its minimalist era. Somewhere out there is a rogue gas cap rolling through the prairie like tumbleweed while I’m financing unleaded with the GDP of a medium sized banana republic. Then off to Sarcan so DaVida could cash in her recycling empire for $25. Frankly, at this point she’s the household entrepreneur. I’m one bad grocery receipt away from following her around collecting wayward cans with a butterfly net. Then came the car wash. Except the only touchless wash in that town is attached to a Shell station currently in receivership, according to the paper sign taped to the door that looked like it had been printed during the collapse of the Soviet Union. So there I was, power wash wand in hand, soaping, rinsing and waxing six months of winter grime and salt off my truck like some exhausted prairie widow reenacting a depression documentary while cold water dribbled down my sleeves. Then another 45 minute drive home. Stopped at the post office. Chatted with the post mistress for awhile because in small towns the post office is part mail depot, part coffee shop, part unofficial therapy session. Then to the pharmacy because apparently I now have allergy hives on the INSIDE of my eyelids. Which seems medically excessive. At this age your body starts introducing new problems like surprise guests at Thanksgiving. Dropped DaVida off with friends. Heard bird hunters shooting nearby and suddenly remembered the giant bag of fireworks sitting in Dave’s shed. Now fireworks are banned in town because at some point local officials correctly concluded that giving prairie people explosives during drought season was maybe a touch optimistic. Somewhere there’s always one guy standing in a dry field holding a Roman candle and a beer saying: “Nah. She’ll be fine.” So I loaded the fireworks into the truck and drove them to the town office for donation to the next public celebration before somebody named Darryl accidentally summons the fire department and a provincial incident report. Finally got home. My bladder by this point sounding like an old teakettle being boiled by Satan himself. And it was ONLY THEN, as I sat upon the porcelain throne staring down at the cat trying to climb into my pants, and after an entire day of driving, errands, conversations, shopping, standing in public places, interacting with civilized society and making prolonged eye contact with human beings... ...that I realized I had been wearing my pants backwards. All day. Backwards. I physically removed functional pants from my own body and reinstalled them incorrectly like a NASCAR pit crew made entirely of corporate CEOs in slim fit suits trying to assemble IKEA furniture after one motivational podcast and two glasses of pinot grigio. I think about that moment now and honestly wonder what in the sweet name of neurological buffering was happening inside my brain. And what makes this story even worse is there actually WAS a warning sign before I left the house. One I somehow “fixed.” Not one single person told me. Not the eye doctor. Not the waitress. Not the pharmacist. Not the post mistress. Not one decent Samaritan in the entire godforsaken chain of events. People just watched me wander around rural Saskatchewan dressed like I lost a bet at a truck stop. So let me say this as a 51 year old Gen X woman with ADHD, chronic exhaustion and a memory system currently running like a Windows 95 desktop with early onset dementia: If you see a middle aged woman out in public wearing her pants backwards... say something. We are not okay!

@IanRunkle No more social media? Oh boy I can't wait for Canada's voting population to be even more incredibly uninformed than they already are. The only information you'll have access to are government approved CBC articles.

PLAN B PARAGUAY
PLAN B PARAGUAY@planbparaguay·
I need to stop calling Paraguay a safety net. 🇵🇾 Most people see “Plan B” and think fallback. But once you’re here, on your own land, paying almost no tax, and living with real breathing room, you realize this was never the backup. It was the upgrade. We kept the name Plan B Paraguay because people remember it. But it’s really for the men who realized the “Plan A” they were handed back home was broken. Paraguay isn’t where you run away. It’s where you start living right.

The high risk offender lives in the area, less than 300m from both of Rosemont’s elementary schools. He was arrested in 2023 for masturbating to a 22 year-old female and her child nearby.

🚨 BREAKING: TWO PEOPLE POTENTIALLY INFECTED WITH HANTAVIRUS IN NEW JERSEY — AND THEY WERE NEVER ON THE SHIP They said it was contained to the MV Hondius cruise ship. Now two people in New Jersey are being monitored… and they never even stepped foot on the ship. • Exposure reportedly happened during international air travel • 30 passengers already left the ship before tracing began • At least 7 people across 5 U.S. states now under monitoring • 3 deaths confirmed linked to the outbreak • CDC has classified this as a Level 3 emergency response Officials say the risk to the public is “low” and the virus doesn’t spread easily. But here’s what people are locking in on: Contact tracing only started after people had already boarded flights and dispersed globally. Airports. Connections. Layovers. All before anyone knew who was exposed. Spanish authorities are now preparing medical evacuations… while locals are protesting any contact with passengers. So now it’s not just about the ship anymore. Did this stay contained… or did it already move before anyone reacted? 📹: abc7ny
