Early reports: a firefighting aircraft appears to have been shot while fighting a wildfire in Minnesota. No injuries and the plane landed safely. Hope they track down the shooter quickly.

Hahaha! 😅😂

A man died at Edmonton’s Royal Alexandra Hospital on May 8 while waiting for emergency care, the Alberta Medical Association has publicly disclosed. Alberta Health Services has confirmed an investigation is underway, citing privacy reasons for withholding further details. The death follows the December 2025 passing of Prashant Sreekumar, 44, who died at Edmonton’s Grey Nuns Community Hospital after an extended emergency room wait. Following Sreekumar’s death, the provincial government ordered a judge-led fatality inquiry and announced a physician-led triage program for major Edmonton and Calgary hospitals. That inquiry remains ongoing.

Great sign 💯

Starting September 1, 2026, Alberta schools will only be permitted to display the Canadian and Alberta flags under proposed provincial legislation, prohibiting Pride flags and all other non-governmental flags from school buildings and grounds.

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying." nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/…

Beverly Hills, 1976. Henry Winkler walks into a clothing store. Needs a coat. Leaves with a life. Stacey Weitzman is behind the counter that day — divorced, raising her young son Jed, simply doing her job. She smiles and asks if he needs help. “You just did,” he thinks immediately. They start talking. Ten minutes passes like ten seconds. Later, Henry would admit he didn’t want the conversation to end. So he stayed. The next day, he returned pretending he’d forgotten something. He pointed at jackets he clearly didn’t need while searching for another excuse to see her. Stacey understood exactly what was happening. At the time, Henry Winkler was already becoming one of the most recognizable faces in America. Happy Days had turned him into Fonzie, the leather-jacketed icon everyone adored. But Henry wasn’t chasing attention. He was chasing her. And Stacey came with a little boy. Some people might have called that baggage. Henry never did. From the beginning, he embraced both of them completely. Years later, Stacey reflected on it simply: “He chose all of us on day one.” In 1978, they married quietly in a small Manhattan ceremony without Hollywood spectacle or media attention. No grand performance. Just vows. Then came daughter Zoe. Then son Max. Their house filled with noise, children, laundry, routines, and ordinary life. That was exactly what Henry wanted. “Fame is loud,” he later said. “Dinner with my kids is quiet. I picked quiet.” Their marriage wasn’t built on dramatic gestures. It was built on repetition. Henry hid handwritten notes everywhere — inside books, purses, beside coffee cups. One note read: “You’re still the girl in the store. Now I just have 45 years of reasons why.” Stacey saved every one in a shoebox. At their thirtieth anniversary dinner, she read one aloud: “When I look at you, I see every day we’ve survived. And I’d survive them all again to get here.” Nobody at the table could hold back tears. Over the decades, they faced everything real families do — dyslexia struggles, illness, career highs and disappointments, children growing older, grandchildren arriving. “We didn’t do perfect,” their daughter Zoe once said. “We did team.” And every morning at 7 a.m., Henry still brings Stacey coffee. Not out of routine. Out of intention. “It’s a proposal,” he says. “I’m asking her to marry me again today.” No yachts. No staged romance. No Hollywood illusion. Just two people continuing to choose each other long after the spotlight faded. “People say we fell in love,” Henry once said. “No. We keep falling. On purpose. Every damn day.” He walked into a store looking for a coat. And nearly fifty years later, he still acts like he just found home.

@sarobertson_ Look behind her… it’s David Parker, still pulling the strings…

Robert Fife on separatists taking over the UCP: "Where's the Margaret Thatcher in Premier Danielle Smith? We don't see it. She says she's an admirer of Margaret Thatcher, well the Iron Lady would have just told these people, 'Get lost.'"

@RyanRozbiani Looking for hand-drawn crayon pics…

Knoblauch’s three-year extension was set to kick in next season. Oilers will still owe him that.

Clean air for McDavid, a hard match line featuring Draisaitl and Podkolzin, a fourth line designed to outrage opponents, and a strict system for exits and entries. This, and more, may be on the way to Edmonton. nytimes.com/athletic/72728…

My belief is that the @EdmontonOilers will target an Experienced Head Coach with Gravitas who has had a history of having structure and process in his team's game...and has won before!

Brett Kulak sends the Avalanche to the Western Conference Final

Grand slam, Daulton Varsho. The biggest swing of the #BlueJays season so far, and so very needed. Toronto wins, 5-3.

BREAKING: Premier Danielle Smith says that while her government supports Alberta staying in Canada, she will be appealing a court decision that quashed a possible separatist petition/referendum.
