I'm not gonna pretend everything is fine and dandy here. Not an Alberta native, and a lot of things still shock me even after 3 years here (how dominant religion is in some segments of the population, all the fucking trucks everywhere all the time, people keep on voting conservative despite, well, everything they're actually doing...). But I don't think it's as big of a majority as one would think. FPTP politics will distort reality and make the place look more conservative than it really is. All that to say - I get the negative image, and the reality on the ground will vary based on where you are and who you meet. Hopefully we can get the place into a state where people feel safe coming here.

Some of the lighting changes felt a bit on the nose. I'd have preferred it if they kept them a little more subtle.

Bring in European/NATO country civilian aid to fix it. If Russia strikes again, you now have a reason to escalate support for Ukraine (including interpreting this as an attack on non Ukrainian assets). If they don't, the sarcophagus gets fixed. Which is the main goal.

Don't do karaoke often, but I've done Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo more than once.

Next time I might try Das Model by Kraftwerk, or I wanna be your dog by Iggy Pop. My singing voice is not great, but I might pull that off.

Like... Literally. I read this in a public place and literally said "the fuck"?

Probably misremembered term from an Anne Rice novel. Google gives me nothing. As such it seems pretty unique.

So you could say it is... Not just bikes?

Crappy looking and cheap 90s road bike and one good lock has done the trick so far.

 

The overall message here I think is: action is still necessary, but the reality is that we're too caught up in politics and economics and we missed our chance at mitigation. Now we need to look to how to cope with what's coming.

The optimistic note of the last sentence of the abstract doesn't really survive reading the article...
