Do you remember your first protest? For many of these youth, their first protest ever was against AI.

Are they worried about their future? You bet they are.

See photos and an interview with the 15-year-old lead organizer from Calgary.

Artists put feelings to pen, and inspiration to paint: and nearly 75 years ago, Emily Carr wrote about how we ought to be less embarrassed to be Canadian and feel the grandness of Canada in the raw.

Bret 'The Hitman' Hart is the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be.

And Canada is the best there was, best there is, and the best there ever will be.

He's a proud Canadian.

And just like Bret, we are #UnitedForCanada.

"Imperial Oil says there have been no reported effects to wildlife or open waterbodies from a pipeline leak of crude bitumen in eastern Alberta."

"Reported." 🤔

Wildlife and water bodies have not reported in...I guess.

"843,000 litres of fluid leaked from the pipeline, with about 172,000 litres of it being crude bitumen and 671,000 litres produced water. Produced water can be contaminated with salt, oil or other substances."

Meanwhile, Cold Lake First Nations is advising community members to avoid the area. The company has not done that, the community is keeping itself safe. Posted on CLFN Facebook.

"Snow fencing has also been placed around the perimeter to restrict wildlife access and act as a bird deterrent, it (Imperial) said."

"Snow fencing." 🤣

Imperial did not report the leak on its website or on its locally-focused Cold Lake operations Facebook page.

So the #UCP in #Alberta are going for straight up gerrymandering: they’ve decided to toss the redistricting that was the result of a multi-year non-partisan scheduled process because they don’t like the report. Why not? Because our province’s population growth has been in cities, and cities don’t vote conservative. The excuse is to add another 2 extra MLAs, but this will be an excuse to produce a lot of hybrid suburban/rural ridings to dilute the progressive vote.
