BTW, if you're in Ottawa, Faris Hytiaa performs in #yow on Dec 5. If you're in Alberta, he performs on Dec 7 in Edmonton and on December 11 in Calgary. All three performances are fundraisers for relief efforts in Sudan. #yeg #ycc
Yale Climate Connections (YCC) is an excellent resource for anyone interested in climate and extreme weather, and among other things they host the Jeff Masters / Bob Henson "Eye on the Storm" blog, which ran under another name on the old #Wunderground site. I don't need social media, I have the EotS comments section. Their coverage of #hurricanes during the season is superb, with both lifesaving information for people in harm's way, and deep technical expertise. Anyway, it's effing awesome, but #YCC lost a big source of funding because Trump, so now they need donations. I've given what I can; any generous multi-millionaires who'd like to do a bit more good, please go here:

At the Coalition, we support many vulnerable people, often over issues that do not align with the majority opinion.
I am helping a young woman who the police alleged is the victim of a horrific domestic assault. #yeg #ycc
She has asked me to attend and support her with her meeting with the Crown Prosecutor.
She is asking the Crown to withdraw her complaint.
As an advocate and support, I'm not there for "MY" agenda but for the vulnerable person asking for help.
We’re working on a couples retreat in the Rockies that we think will appeal to some Edmonton & Calgary folks. Couples who want more than mediocre. If you’re curious (& want to be on the wait list for “super earlybird” pricing)… https://forms.gle/2ePLjfdwDtMKpU3J6

Today, the Senate building will pay host to a national ceremony of remembrance to make the 100th anniversary of the shameful Chinese Exclusion Act. In my latest episode of #AlbertaUnbound I explore that history and its echoes with panelists Gary Mar. Linda Tzang, Nathan Ip and Teresa Woo-Paw. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7CfjXLsQn0gHA1HXS8GNaR?si=AdJgOYF2TWCjBi3Fx5JL8A #Ottawa #HumiliationDay #ChineseExclusionAct #SenateofCanada #Alberta #Edmonton #Calgary #yeg #ycc #Canada #ableg #cdnpoli

Paraphrasing @Uncountable.Infinity in the #YCC Eye on the Storm blog comments*: with all the weather models showing a cyclone moving NNE across 31°C sea surface temps in the Bay of Bengal before landfalling probably on Myanmar (possibly Bangladesh),.. we could be about to see one of the worst cyclone / hurricane disasters in history.

Fired up tonight, really not a fan of having the most vulnerable people in our society being used as political pawns because a toxic pack of conservatives don’t like the Mayors of #yeg and #ycc. At a time of year where we are supposedly the most aware of the spirit of giving, the UCP and two #yegcc members are playing games with the homeless.
