I need to talk about my neighbors because I have been holding this in for too long.
They had a birthday party this weekend. For one of their kids. In their backyard.
I counted six children and two adults. There were balloons. There was a cake on a folding table. It lasted maybe two hours in the middle of the afternoon.
And I am sorry but who is going to tell people that you cannot just do this.
The noise. Six children making the sound that six children make. For two hours. On a Saturday. I had things I wanted to do in my own home and instead I had to listen to a party I was not invited to and would not have attended anyway.
The cars. Two extra cars parked on the street near my house. On the public street, yes, but near my house, which means in front of the area I consider to be my general zone.
And the balloons. One of them came loose and drifted into my yard and I had to be the one to deal with a stray balloon on my own property because of a party that had nothing to do with me.
They did not warn me. No note, no heads up, no hey we are having a small thing on Saturday. They just decided to have a celebration in a yard that shares a fence with mine and let me find out about it by hearing it.
If you are going to host an event, even a small one, the neighbors should be consulted. We share an environment. My Saturday is part of that environment and they spent it without asking.
I am aware some people will say it was just a kids birthday party. To those people I would say it is never just anything when it affects the people around you.

This separatist referendum runs a very real risk of foreign interference. We now know that Albertans’ personal information has been exposed to American actors, and the separatists have been looking for support and money from the Trump administration.
Premier Danielle Smith has done nothing.
That’s why I have written to CSIS asking for transparency, regular updates, and a clear assessment of the dangers we face.
Danielle Smith doesn’t care about protecting you. Alberta’s New Democrats do.

👸🏻🇨🇦 Louise Arbour as Governor General?
This activist judge forced same-sex parenting books into schools against parents’ religious objections, praised Fidel Castro’s Cuba for ‘human rights engagement,’ slammed military ‘white boys,’ and pushed open borders migration. Undermining tradition, family, and sovereignty.
Wrong choice for unifying Canada.
