It puzzles me that Vegas locks in with Hart and never gives a thought to Hill. The Hurricanes aren't even dressing Andersen even as a backup and he posted 13-3 win/loss 3 shutouts and a .910 save %

@rascalgas Yikes, who do they think they are, Roger's place? They don't even have a Bobby Niks burger

These World Cup concession prices are something.

Big game one win for the @sskroughriders over the Lions. Let Go!

@edgyerin Some people have no common sense

The families were out tonight around the lake. In the first picture, some jackass threw pita bread in the lake & left the bag behind. This is "junk food" for water fowl, & cause them health issues 😡

The Hurricanes caught a break finally

@KaraUtri Happy birthday, have an amazing day

Anyone have a winning lottery ticket you’d like to gift to me? It’s my birthday 🥳🎁🥳

@KristinRaworth Awe, the poor thing needs a treat.

She wants to come in but also wants a treat so is refusing to compromise. I too am refusing to compromise. We are in a stand off.

@YEGBikeDad Happy birthday

Birthday Ride a success! #cycling #fatbike #yegbike

Wow. What a play by Bouchard, absolutely elite playmaking

Watching playoff hockey just isn't the same without the Oilers playing. However, it's good to enjoy a game without my blood pressure spiking throughout

@Girly_1 Happy birthday. Hope you had a great day

Last of the birthday freebies #1GoodThingToday

@RiderGirl4Life Happy birthday, I hope you had an amazing day

Another trip around the sun. Another season of #CFL 🏈. Today was a great day. 🙂 🥳🎂🎁 🏈💚

@ldubs99 It's definitely a hot soup or chili day.

I hate when “last night’s me” packs a salad for lunch for “tomorrow’s me” and “today’s me” feels nothing like salad. It’s cold out. 😭

@ShootwAuthority I am so very sorry. Condolences to you and your family

My dad just passed away.

@ShannonBaerwald Holland may actually look like a solid GM after seeing what this duo have done since they took over

@SaskColin I don't trust them to make the trades snd signings that need to happen

Best of luck to Coach Knoblauch. Thanks for the time in Edmonton and the two cup finals runs. I'm glad he has a mountain of cash to sit on while deciding his next moves and coaching decisions. However, he shouldn't be the only one being fired this offseason #LetsGoOilers

@ShannonBaerwald Absolutely 100% both guys in management need to be fired. Can't throw it all on the coaches, Management needs to be held accountable as well

@SaskColin How about the guy who re-signed him a few months ago and then fired him before the new contract even started??!! 😄 he sure loves wasting Katz's money. I can't believe Katz puts up with that 🤯

I would like to know who is actually running the Oilers.. Is it Jeff Jackson calling all the shots and making every decision? Is Bowman really allowed to make the deals?

@KristinRaworth This is an incredibly well-written piece. This should also show prospective employers that maybe they could dive a little deeper into the individual applying for the job instead of just the resume in front of them. Well done, and thank you for the perspective and openness.

Unemployment in today’s Canada. My experience. It’s a big read but please read it through. For three years, I helped care for my father while continuing to work full-time. I even moved next door to him so I could better support him as his health declined. I cared for him until he died. Later, while still employed, I went through six months of breast cancer treatment myself. Pretending those experiences didn’t affect my career would be dishonest. What nobody tells you about employment instability is how cumulative it becomes. Caregiving impacts careers even when you stay employed. Illness impacts careers even when you keep showing up. You can still be working while slowly losing professional momentum underneath you. During unemployment, I applied for 65 jobs. Government. Communications. Non-profit. Administrative. Retail. Hospitality. Not one offer. At one point, after years in senior advisory and executive communications roles, I applied at Starbucks. I didn’t get the job. That experience stayed with me. Not because service work is beneath me — some of the hardest jobs I ever had were in restaurants and hospitality when I was younger. But because the economy had somehow decided I was simultaneously overqualified and unemployable. At 44 years old, after years spent working in government and public affairs, there were moments I genuinely started wondering whether I had anything left to contribute professionally. That’s what prolonged unemployment does to people psychologically. The hardest part of unemployment wasn’t only financial. It was psychological. Watching previous accomplishments stop mattering. Trying to explain résumé gaps without sounding damaged. Feeling your professional identity slowly erode in real time. In April 2026, Canada’s unemployment rate climbed to 6.9%. Behind those numbers are people whose lives became complicated. Caregivers. People managing chronic illness. Cancer survivors. People navigating grief, burnout, disability, aging parents, or health crises while trying to maintain careers at the same time. Governments still talk about unemployment mostly through statistics. But people experience the economy emotionally. Through rejection emails. Through grocery bills. Through rent increases. Through the quiet panic of realizing there’s very little room left in modern life for interruption. The labour market increasingly rewards uninterrupted stability. Perfect timelines. Continuous productivity. No visible complications. But real life does not work that way anymore. Parents age. People get sick. Caregiving responsibilities consume years . Disabilities emerge. Mental health deteriorates. And increasingly Canadians are expected to absorb those pressures privately while continuing to perform professionally as though nothing has changed. There’s a growing class of Canadians who did everything they were told to do. I certainly did. Built careers Paid taxes. Earned degrees. Contributed to institutions. Then life interrupted the plan. And the system suddenly became much less patient with them. This is why affordability and unemployment cannot be separated politically. When the cost of living keeps climbing, employment instability becomes terrifying. One interruption can destabilize everything. I have a job again now and I am grateful for that. But the experience changed how I see work, government, and the economy. A lot more Canadians are hanging on by a thread than our politics currently acknowledges.

@backwoodsbabble Hope you feel better soon
