If Alberta wants a northern pipeline then show us something like cleaning up the orphan wells in your province. If you can't cleanup your own backyard Premier Smith you sure as hell won't clean up any mess your pipeline creates. Maybe that Heritage Fund would help.....

@evan Torchy's! Yes. Loved all the years I went. The comedy events still make me laugh. Usually outside the convention centre this was the lunch stop.

USA says that Canada spends too little on defence, and that the U.S. carries too much of the financial burden for North American Aerospace Defense Command Remember the Avro Arrow? It was too good and is suggested that US interests were a factor in Diefenbaker's cancellation. Now we know what we can do, we just need to do it. If Sweden's Saab can produce the Gripen can't we do something better?

@evan @maj Still a bit of a way to go. Butter knives and ladles for punchbowls.

@WiseWoman @kim_harding We used to include the sentence "All applications to include a handwritten covering letter" in our employment advertising. Usually 50% of applications had a word processed printed letter. And they wondered why they were never called for an interview.

There must be over 10,000 Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. How many big social media platforms? 50? Self regulation is valid with the diverse numbers of Mastodon but impossible with the big ones.

#SocialWebFoundation when people's identities are derived from awards and credos for work they have done, are doing or plan to do in the future they start drinking the Kool-Aid created with a mix of ego. Get over it - it is just a fucking job.
