This isn't Carney and the photo never happened. AI BS

The fully staffed weather service will undoubtedly correlate the storm strength and local effects into context to answer the diligent reporters of the mainstream media.

I was getting to that!!!

No, certainly not. The UCP supports oil and gas to the exclusion of all other energy enterprises, even when anyone can see that the petro corporations have had a "recovery; without jobs".
Bill Kirk

There will be no mention of the UCP legislation which has stifled any renewable energy enterprises. Enterprises that are attracting investment and creating/transitioning technological jobs in other provinces.

Boy, my last comment sounded like a right wing bot, didn't it?

To clarify, the UCP will most assuredly blame Ottawa, Trudeau, and tooth fairy for the poor employment numbers, the Shattered Healthcare system, etc.

Well, of course it is Ottawa's fault, dontcha know?

Pendulum, by Roy H. Williams, "The Wizard of Ads" 2012.

In the USA's case, it seems to be related to violent insurrection. Echos of armed conflict, revolution, reverberating through the government and the populace.

My pet "protest poster slogan" blurb on the major differences between USA and Canada is:

USA = Revolution
Canada = Evolution

The 80 year cycle seems to have a good deal of relevance. Probably because it is related to average life spans of humans and human generational dynamics. I was made aware of it as it related to advertising/ consumer cycles in North America.

Hi Dr. Mary:
After the sellout (no other way to put it) of the Avro Arrow - Canada got the Bomarc missile defense system which was designed for an earlier and slower, but similar, icbm assault.
Same story. When you hit a missile from Russia or China (and now North Korea) it comes down in Canada.

Excellent point.
Margaret MacMillan pointed out that many great nations felt that the youth of the day needed toughened up by a war. Delusional!

You could call the interloper 'Krasnov' or the 'Manchurian Candidate'.

Or Greek with subtitles.

If we separate from Canada, can we still be in the Canada Pension Plan? Asking for a friend.

The reality should occur to separatists that Alberta currently exists within a federation that has access to tidewater. An independent Alberta is landlocked. Int'l negotiations are req'd for trade.

And being part of the USA, as a state? Well, I can hear it now. "You just don't have the cards".

The point should be raised that the threshold for a recall of the Premier of Alberta has just gotten closer.

That is "foetal debris" and yes, it is a great band name.

I have often reflected on the non voting segment of all democracies. Sleepers are a situation not considered.
Seriously, what percentage do you think are actually compromised or acting as sleeper/disruptor?

Appreciate your clarity, but how did you all let it get to this?

Dr. Mary:
I agree that health care is extremely dire for many Canadians, but, similar to me singing and folks asking what did I do with money for voice lessons - the Provinces have to answer a similar question about what they did with their Medicare allocations.

You can look at the USA's meltdown into autocracy, and then reflect on 'exactly the same moves' being made in Alberta - now - today.
Alberta is months behind Trump's GOP.
Canada is one election away from the same tragic loss of democracy and humanity.

This is the most useful discussion of the machinations of the 70 or so politicians who promote the IDU policies and how it affects every election.

Trump will Pump and Dump for a while, then magnanimously suspended the tariffs to negotiate with the countries of the world.

See what concessions can be gained, then tariff the tough nuts. Again.

Rinse. Repeat.

The World leaders must create an economy that sidestep the USA.

Nelson Rockefeller said:

"The time to buy is when there is blood in the streets".

Trump has created the bloodletting.

Now he and his fellow felons and, more importantly, people who have liquid resources on hand (billionaires) are buying the low cost stocks from frantic companies.

And there you have it folks.
The fix is in.
A hand picked Bush appointee and an ally of Trump on the USA Supreme Court has defied the constitution and handed the USA to insurrectionists.

Men die.
Justices of the US Supreme Court get to retire.

Go back to the beginning of this note.

There are daybreaks after heartbreaking disaster.

Grief changes shape, but it never leaves.

Human Beings must turn back this cascade of impersonal malevolence.

The architects of this pogrom don't want to rule us.

They simply want us to die.

there was this small brass plaque.

I removed my hat.

5 resistance fighters named.

Shot by SS for being partisans.

The youngest was 18.

As Humanists, we must resist oppression. Even oppression by fascists funded by billionaires.

The sooner it's ended, the fewer 18 yr olds we will have to mourn.

Hence it is largely extant. The best revenge is that it is being converted into a public art space.

What else would you do? I mean, without Jewish slave labour, it will cost more to demolish than to just let it sink into the river bank.

Technically interesting to an amateur historian, but,
