I went past two on the weekend (strangely very near each other). The roadside one, didn’t see any there nor turn in. The sidewalk one, no one signing. Fingers crossed their numbers end up as pathetic as the idea.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

The MAGA Plot to Take Down Canada A growing movement of MAGA-pilled Albertan separatists would happily break up the country to be closer to Trump.

Figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, who has explicitly compared Canada to Ukraine, see Canada as a bastion of decadent liberalism in the West that must be broken and subdued, one way or another.

Did you know?

The Provincial government has increased their property taxes on Calgarians by 57% over four years, well above inflation and population growth. They're now imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history with a 21% hike, or about $350 for the typical family.

Property tax calculator Calculate your City of Calgary property taxes based on your property's assessed value.

The City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase.

For a typical $706,000 home:
πŸ”Ί Province: +$339
πŸ”Ή City: +$49

We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The City’s increase is 1.81%.

Danielle Smith confirms that if Alberta separatism petition drive succeeds, the independence referendum will be on October 19 ballot too. So expect (at least) 10 ballot measures coming this fall.

β€œSmith blamed what she called the β€œdisastrous open-border immigration policies” of former prime minister Justin Trudeau for straining Alberta’s health care, education and social services”

Here she is begging, BEGGING for a revised allocation…..

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

β€œThe climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

This should be THE story everyday.
