@NatObserver @canada-s-national-observer-NatObserver if they trigger a snap election the NDP will be obliterated from federal politics and they will deserve it. We are in a political crisis with our former closest ally and another election now is not how to deal with it.

Worth waking up at 6:00 to cook this: smoked brisket on the #biggreeneg.

Slices of beef brisket on a wooden cutting board.

@wpltyps219129 I have “added to cart” these things a few times but not clicked BUY yet.

@LoganFive As a Canadian who frequents places with large wild animals, the only Canadian wildlife I’m scared of is also the only one that’s ever attacked me: the Canada Goose.

SMH.

So let me get this straight. Canadians
will pay over a million dollars so a guy
who lost his seat — and hasn't lived in
the province for 25 years — can run in
an election he's guaranteed to win...
just so he can keep getting paid by us,
living in a house we're footing the bill
for. And this is after he spent years
whining about government spending.
Unbelievable.
Axe the Tax my ass.

@jace what do you mean “going to be…?”

She’s been unbearable since she first raised her head in public.

@Kierkegaanks how can you be sure though?

@edwiebe well, they still did their civic duty and showed up to vote. I’m ok with including them.

I nominate everyone in Carleton for the Order of #Canada.

@johnefrancis @evdelen it probably would have smelt like that regardless.

Happy Friday. This local golden ale goes down fast. #talkingdogbrewing #beer

An almost empty glass of golden beer with a howling dog logo on the glass and the words Talking Dog Brewing.

@photosbygina_yeg nice for you! It’s a great festival and one of the cool things about Edmonton.

Note to self: when installing a toilet supply shut-off valve, make sure the valve is closed before turning the water back on. #diy

I got to present a Chief Judge of Electronics course for a group of up and coming swimming officials tonight for Swim Alberta. There were some great questions. I look forward to seeing some of them on the pool deck.

@Bowreality @IveyJanette @RobotDiver @dyckron This is right. Even most dyed-in-the-wool blue conservatives in Alberta don't want to be part of the USA. The media latches on to the lunatics because it sows division and sells commercials. They're at fault for perpetuating this lie.

@kevinbowrin There used to be a pizza place called Flamingo Pizza in the Meadowlark Mall in Edmonton when I was a kid, that made pizza like this. I loved it, and can still taste that style in my imagination.

@mark.malowany Hey, this is my work neighborhood.

@khm @cienmilojos it's funny that .misc and .com are different. There's also an unknown.edu one that has a mortarboard hat on.

@jeffowski Good people do good things, evil people do evil things, but religion makes good people do evil things.
