Fellow traveler in this temporal reality🌊 🇨🇦. Will follow back. Steampunk. Art. Technology. Politics. Science. I laugh at dad jokes.
With all this gas volatility, maybe it's just time to ditch the ICE and go to an electric vehicle. Hard to budget when gas prices can jump 15 cents overnight. A full charge for $15, or in some cases free with your hotel stay, I could get used to that.
Just as Trump is threatening us with higher tariffs & saying he wants to make us the 51st state, these stupid wankers are flying flags & have some half-assed stupid idea for Alberta independence. Stabbing your country in the back while we need to stand strong is called treason!
We are living with the real effects of global warming. Picture on left was Calgary a few days ago. Much of this smoke is from fires in BC and Washington state. So Trump, what about American forest management? Maybe you should be paying us compensation.
The bitter irony of Trump using slavery as excuse to impose tariffs on other countries while he seeks to erase history of US slavery from American schools & museums. Or how about present day slavery with prisoners working for free or a few cents an hour in the US now? Hypocrisy much?
Environment Canada has introduced new colour alert codes for air quality. I didn't realize they could also be a literal forecast. We had a yellow warning yesterday because of all the smoke. When I walked outside, the sky was literally yellow.
In April 2025, Trump imposed a tariff on 185 countries including Canada. Now he's threatening even more tariffs on Canada, because of wildfire smoke. Meanwhile, he has imposed no tariffs on Russia... at all. Punish friends, let Russia off? What does Putin have on this guy?
I understand the Spanish team had Trump photoshopped out of this team photo. Who can blame them? Who'd want that awkward pathetic duck photo-bombing them?
Well, Trump certainly did one unexpected thing before the World Cup Final. He brought both the Argentine and Spanish fans together. Both sides came together and loudly booed Trump when he appeared on the jumbotron.
I've listened to enough separatists to know they are drenched in misinformation. Transfer payments are not cheques "paid to Ottawa" from Alberta. Federal transfer payments are funded by Ottawa and go back to the provinces. The liars have an agenda and that agenda smells like treason.
Republican morons blaming Canada for #wildfire should all get Trump cognitive tests. Do their goldfish memories forget their own recent fires? If anything Canada should be suing Trump for walking back Biden's green New Deal & suing oil companies for the global warming that's fueling these fires.👊
Trump's address to the nation was a rehash of his false election fraud conspiracy theories. Then he tried to say America was more respected now under him Judging by Trump standing awkwardly alone at the G7, looks the the world is just ignoring him.
Elections Alberta subverted democracy when invalidated signatures of the #WaterNotCoal petition. Really, cold calling a sample of numbers without identifying with caller ID? Most don't answer calls from unknown numbers. Meanwhile, Smith put separatist question on the ballot before signature count
Hmm. I'm no expert, but when I read stuff like the following, sure seem Novichok affects the heart. Anyway, you have to admit the timing is suspicious.
Not a real fan on Lindsey Graham in his fawning support of Trump. But, I did like his stance of support for Ukraine. He was just about to see his Sanctioning Russia Act passed. Does this make his untimely death just after returning from abroad suspicious? Novichok mimics heart attack symptoms.
Don't want to be Mr. Conspiracy guy, but isn't it just a wee bit suspicious Lindsey Graham should die of a sudden heart attack just before his Russia Sanctioning Act could be passed & immediately upon return from a foreign trip? Wouldn't be the first vocal Putin critic to meet a untimely end.
Trump doesn't grasp irony. The war with Iran started because Trump and Netanyahu killed the Iranian leader. Viewed from this perspective, if Iran did take out Trump, it could be considered eye-for-an-eye justice.
Love this cartoon. Exactly right. Trump's great failure. He's a rich idiot who never had real accountability for his dumb-ass decisions. This is what happens when people vote for an idiot reality show personality instead of a real president
Watching streaming commercial service & just sat through 4 straight ads pushing sports on-line gambling in Alberta. At one time sports gambling was what only the mob did. It was illegal b/c it destroyed lives. We should not be allowing this. Families will suffer.
Russian casualties in the Ukraine war are bad and getting worse. They've suffered 1.5 million casualties, with over 450,000 dead. This is the danger of dictatorships. Putin's absolute power means he can ignore the suffering & deaths of ordinary Russians.
To my fellow Albertans I believe some of you look at the upcoming referendum as an way to send a message to Ottawa. You don't really want to leave. This is dangerous. This is how Brexit happened. This would be so much worse. Powerful foreign forces are behind this. Don't be fooled!
When is America going to rid itself of the most corrupt, greedy and self serving family in history?
Ordinary Americans may not be attending Trump's "great" America Fair, but just like on January 6th, the racists attended. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
What is America to do? You have a deeply unpopular and incompetent president who's ego is desperate to put is ugly orange face on everything. Now he wants to join real presidents on Mount Rushmore. He is a cheap grifter trying to hitch his name to the truly great.
Today I suspect my goldfish has developed mind control. My evidence? I completely forget if I've fed the fish or not so end up feeding them again. Happens more often than I care to admit. Diabolical.
Mostly seeing Forever Canadian yard signs in Red Deer. Only one Choose Alberta sign I saw so far. Typical rig rat with quads, boat, trailer & lifted truck in driveway. Oil guys get big bucks for a while, but get into trouble during downturns. Easier to blame Ottawa than actually budget.
Yeah, that 51st state shit, we're not having it! Happy Canada Day!
Canada Truth North Strong, and Free Where the real eagles soar and have a home. #CanadaDay
Nope, separatists are whiny little bitches. Real men are Canadian patriots.
Happy Canada Day to all. Watching CBC and loving the shout-outs Canadians have been sending out to friends and family on ask@cbc.ca Love this country, all Canadians, and our awesome soccer team. Our diversity is our strength. This is our century!
The Ukraine war is now putting pressure on ordinary Russians. Refineries burn as Russians que for gas, and everyone is aware of the thousands of Russians dying on the front lines every week. Putin could end all this tomorrow. He just needs to pull out of Ukraine.
