Dark eyed junko on a snow covered deck. The junko is a small bird, its hwad and neck are black, belly a creamy white, grey-black back and orange sides.

I'm not much of a photographer or a birder, bit for a change I have a #BordOfTheDay with this rather interesting dark eyed junko

Nah, Twin Bays is too busy. This one's better. And cheaper. www.realtor.ca/real-estate/...

Ya, and surprised that the bike is intact.

Yup and that is why we support Alpha House in Calgary and are pissed at the levels of govt support that mustard seed and Hope mission get (one is run by Nixon Sr so no surprise)

YOU aren't- you are supposed to be wondering how your adorable baby can possibly generate so much shit? Like where did it all come from.

A small wooden bird feeder with the head, fore paws and body of a black squirrel hanging down from the far side.

Interesting bird at my feeder...

Perspectives: On housing, Mayor Farkas promised a plan and hasn’t delivered - LiveWire Calgary Believe it or not, Mayor Jeromy Farkas is a member of the More Neighbours Calgary community. During the campaign, he regularly engaged with members on housing and city issues. One phrase came up again...

“Repeal and replace” was a campaign commitment. Making housing more affordable was the goal. It’s time for Mayor Farkas to stand by that commitment, or admit it was never the plan at all.

So, this guy is saying because Bryant had a tragic death players shouldn't break his record?

Much as in life...

Something good. Got a call from Jeremy at the Calgary Airport - one of the bikes we had stolen last fall was found abandoned there. Bike is missing accessories and needs some tlc on the chain but seems to be intact.

Thanks @bikeindex.org

Why? Many of these days probably were on vacation

Yup, agree. There's lots to criticize, but what would you actually do?

I would love to know about how folks developed the push stick. It seems to give amazing control (or maybe it's just that I am watching a tool in the hands of masters!)

🧵 Breaking: Alberta government embarrasses itself again

Today, the Centre of Recovery Excellence (CoRE) published a study. Unfortunately, last month I published two stories showing how their data are junk.

Let's take a look. 1/

I think you achieve that

I am grateful that our bikes and transit give us options, but try to avoid being smug about it as I look at another 1000km road trip to support family, and know many, many people who don't have the opportunities I do. However, also see choices have consequences

I like the first, but it wasn't until the 3rd that I realised the tree was full of cormorants

Today is making up for yesterday's wind closure?

It's km/h. In kilo is used in all metric measurements so just the k isn't definitive.
And here in Calgary, that 22 km/h could get you a speeding ticket on the pathways with a fine of $400 !

I was so confused for a bit until the Wisconsin hashtag soaked into my brain. Fish Creek is a huge park in Calgary Alberta, and I was trying to figure where Prentice Park was and how I hadn't heard of it. The photo is completely plausible for Calgary too

You helped pave the path for me then. Graduated SAIT in '88, first job it was pointed out that aside frommthe manager the team was all men, would that be a problem? Nah, I grew up with brothers. First task I coded a solution to a problem that the consultant said couldn't be done.

Neat does not come clear to covering it, Brett. You are amazing, and how wonderful to have your neighbours recognise it.

Happy Women's Day

My house? W and I are both registered canvassers

Scarce snow clearing at Southland Drive crosswalk a hazard that's 'getting worse': Residents - LiveWire Calgary After more than 10 years of raising plowing-quality concerns to the city, Calgarians living in Southwood said one of its major crosswalks has become a safety issue in the winter months, calling the mi...

Hoping to reach journalists/editors:

- When you're writing about legislation, whether proposed or enacted, include a link to official info page on the bill.
- When you're writing about research, include a link to the study.

Why? I'll read your work before a piece by someone who doesn't do this.

They would of had to leave their clothes behind to keep at the 50lb limit on suitcases

I did not realise.

48hours? How far is the trip? We have taken the train from Montreal to Halifax, but thats only 24 hours

Do we ever have boot camps to introduce kids to the care careers (therapists, OT, PT, seniors care, child care...)
