#Introduction #ReIntroduction

David Mitchell (he/him)

Married, dad to a set of mostly grown young people (but they still eat my food).

Edmonton string instructor (will wear any hat related to music).
Promoter of:
basic public health measures;
strong, integrated, compassionate communities;
simple humanitarian values.

Every person is inherently, uniquely, and infinitely valuable.

Interested in #music #art #design #civics #history #abpoli #cndpoli #yegcc #canada #yeg #edmonton #ableg #PublicHealth #science #education #WearAMask ... so like everything except professional sports I guess.

Been at mstdn.ca since 2022, moving proactively to protect my connection to y'all, just in case.

The Danielle Smith Legislative Ledger – “The Wrecking Ball” Part 2 – Who Wants A Notwithstanding Clause? I’m baaaack. Last time we mapped the pattern. This time we follow where it leads. Fall 2025. The hammer dropped, and a government tested how far power can stretch. #ableg

Someone ask Nate Glubish, Minister of Innovation and Technology, why he thinks THIS is a better future for Alberta!

#IntroductionNumberTwo

I recently moved servers to thecanadian.social. I've been on the fediverse since November 2023 and, gotta say, loving it.

I have had a blast with so many & gotta say feel pretty smug about being free of FB, Insta, Tiktok, and all the other socials out there. Really helps that I was born in the 1950s... no peer pressure here!

Some of my favourite #s: #FuckCancer #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #AltText #DogsOfMastodon and a whole bunch more.

Thanks @mike ...

Alberta's fiscal year ends in two weeks. With oil prices up, the government's deficit forecast of $4.1 billion is now on track for roughly half that. #ableg

Alberta Technology & Innovation Minister Nate Glubish has his own Substack newsletter. And he's letting loose on renewables.

I don't think this will go well for him.

The Real Story Behind Alberta’s “Lost” Renewable Billions

How Speculative Queue Numbers Became a $33 Billion Myth. And Why the UCP Chose to Protect Your Power Bill.

Nate Glubish

We're in the "government regulators demanding in-person meetings at their offices with any member of the public who launches a formal complaint against them" phase here in Alberta.

😲

Working on a story about it now...stay tuned.

Hi friends! Long time, no talk. Remember the mega-thread I'm quoting below? Good! Just wanted you to know that the Wrecking Ball Part 2 mega-thread covering the Fall 2025 #ABLeg sesh is almost done! It's in "shitty first draft" mode now. I hope to be able to start posting next week.
