Doesn't come anywhere close to making up for Gavin's sins, though.

For a little while, at least, Fox News et al. had to waste air time being mad about it. They need to keep the outrage machine fed and I guess it's better if they feed it bullshit that isn't hurting vulnerable people. A small effect, but maybe measurable in minutes.

Really just a pro-business lobby.

Citizens have no obligation to listen to a damn thing that chambers of commerce say.

And if you drove, it would still cost you more than $100 in gas.

If you go back in time 30 years like Marty McFly, you can confuse the family you are watching tv with. "This is the one from that meme!"

Seems like a bear sighting used to be less than a 1 in 5 chance on any given trip. Now it's nearly every time. We finally bought some bear spray, even though I'm paranoid about it going off accidentally. Also so many Rocky Mountain Bighorns this year! Watch the road carefully, folks.

Yeah. One example is that my plan covers the shingles vaccine (or 85%, at least), even if prescribed on the spot by the pharmacist rather than the doctor. Does "prescribed" by the public health clinic count? Probably would need to do reimbursement since they likely won't direct bill.

Any word on whether extended health plans will cover it?

Please #Alberta log in and request your vaccine this way the government will see the high demand by so many of us. You are not committing to paying nor an appointment at this time. I certainly hope someone challenges this in court, it’s outrageous that we have to pay!

I didn't know there was a Chinook forecast for today. (It's on it's way from the airport to #kananaskis to pick up #G7 dignitaries.) #YYC #Calgary 🇨🇦

Just because he's a goon is no reason to dabble in racism.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Without boring anyone with the details, I had a weird dream last night where I chose to be a defiant agent of chaos in order to "fuck up the standard deviations". I'm a little stuck in that mode this morning and it's not helping me do my work.

Canada Post tabled a 2000 page offer to CUPW on May 21. Our contract expires May 22. When CUPW asked for a 2 week extension to review the offer, Canada Post refused. They gave us ONE day to review 2000 pages that will deeply affect the lives and livelihoods of 55,000 workers. #cupw #canadapost

Should we be worried that he's going to end up trying to use Taiwan as a bargaining chip. That is, if China wants to join Team Annexation, he won't stop them.

We're a couple of months in. We like how it forces you to be creative to try to keep up. Every meal is "what vegetables can I add to this" or "what can I do with this bok choy". We have Vegetable Stew Tuesday every week, at least until the weather warms up.
