Alison CreeksideAlberta gov has decided to keep the new federal Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) to Alberta recipients of Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) for itself. Perhaps the drapes in Smith's office no longer quite match her new #280,000 carpet. #abpoli
Chris AlemanyWe have a lot of azaleas 🌺 . They are popular around here. I like them because they tend to be very individual. Two never bloom at the same time or in the same colour.
Almost all ours are blooming now.
Except one. On the northeast corner of the house Just a few feet from the others. Not even a hint.
It's like "Nope. Not ready. You'll just have to wait for me" 😒 😂

"U.S. Orders Intelligence Agencies to Step Up Spying on #Greenland
Effort underscores seriousness of #Trump’s intent to acquire the island from Denmark"
The classified message asked agencies, whose tools include surveillance satellites, communications intercepts and spies on the ground, to identify people in Greenland and Denmark who support U.S. objectives for the island.

Trust the Force in #Canada (there is a Disturbance in The Force in the United States of Ignorance). 👍 🇨🇦
There is an urban legend that a man named John Canada was the taxidermist who first identified and classified the Canada Goose from the North. He decided to name the bird after himself, hence the name Canada Goose.
To begin with, a "taxidermist" mounts the skins of animals. If the man was a biologist who classified new animal species, he would be a "taxonomist".
However, no record of a #JohnCanada exists in either profession.
The first recorded use of the name, '#CanadaGoose' appeared in 1772 in Carl Linnaeus' 8th-century work, Systema Naturae.
James Audubon called it the Canada goose in 1836.
The name Canada comes from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word #Kanata, meaning "village" or "settlement". In 1535, indigenous inhabitants of the present-day #QuebecCity region used the word to direct French explorer #JacquesCartier to the village of Stadacona. By 1545, some European books and maps had begun referring to this region as Canada.
Note: There is a #JohnnyCanuck - he fought #AmericanExpansionism in the 1869 and the #Nazis in WWII.
