Okay, now that THAT is over with… My mom passed away six months ago. I am not dealing with it well. I’ve been finding ways to stay busy in the hope of being distracted (referendum, anyone?), but I’m taking a Twitter break to get myself right. I miss her. SO much. ALL the time.

I was heavily influenced as a kid by Top Gun. To me, even back then β€” even with Mav's wildly confident aggression, Ice Man's perfect flat top and jawline, and Slider's impeccable physique β€” I knew Viper was the coolest of the cool in Miramar. RIP, Tom Skerritt.

Thus far, Option 2 has 300,000 fewer votes than the Notley NDP got in the 2023 election. So I look forward to Danielle announcing tonight she’ll give the separatist grievances exactly as much attention as she’s given to the NDP’s suggestions over the past 3 years. #abpoli #ableg

Tune in tomorrow night as the UCP Leader flails around frantically trying to find a bone to throw the separatists in her party so she doesn’t get booed out of the building at her party AGM in 5 weeks. #abpoli

HEY ALBERTA. Everybody is still trying to figure out what's happening in Wainwright and how to help. Want to help? DONATE BLOOD. You don't need all of your blood; just most of it. Burn victims need lots of blood. Plus, more blood is always better. tinyurl.com/8ay7wh2k
Spoke with Canadian Blood Services. I’m told there is no emergency blood drive currently in Wainwright but they are taking appointments starting Tuesday in Edmonton. There has been an outpouring of support to offer blood and O positive and O negative blood is the most versatile and in high demand. If you can give please call +1 (888) 236-6283 Thank you everyone for your prayers and for being there for our men and women in uniform at this difficult time.

I mean, if you can’t take your voting advice from an American who gets repeatedly punched and kicked in the head for a living, who CAN you take advice from? #abpoli

For the events that are currently occurring at CFB Wainwright, if you learn of a name or come across a social media post sharing a name, please do not repost it. The military has a notification process in place (I did casualty processing in Afghanistan). You don't want a loved one to find out through social media.

The absence of any specificity at all in regards to what happened at CFB Wainwright is leading to all kinds of speculation - somebody should say SOMETHING, so people don’t start assuming the worst. Speculation ranges from plane crashes to terror attacks to enemy action.

Long line at the advance poll? STAY. Someone in that line wants to pull Alberta out of Canada. And for every one of them, we need TEN patriots to outvote him, and put this misguided grievance-fueled fever dream through the woodchipper. #abpoli

Good news for our totally-grassroots-definitely-NOT-Russian-bot friends on X, it appears a few of their data centres made it through the bombardment, because here they come to heroically amplify the tiny separatist minority. WELCOME, comrades! Provalivay!

We have an entire generation of chronically online posters who think that β€œcommunism” and β€œauthoritarianism” are always the same thing, and that makes me weep for the social studies teachers out there.

Look at freakin’ Calgary. LOOK AT FREAKIN’ CALGARY. We’re a long way from the next election, but this is the kind of polling that gives donors nightmares.

City Councils in Edmonton and Calgary were elected less than a year ago. MLA’s in 2023. It’s reasonable to say that the freshest mandate from the voters to act on issues like zoning belongs to the Councils who were just elected. #yegcc #yyccc

The reason she won’t clearly state a number that is a threshold for action on the 9 Bad Questions is because there ISN’T a threshold: She’s doing them. It’s just a question of whether she can claim a mandate, or if she has to pretend it was a β€œtough decision”. #ableg
