How Alberta Plans to Kill Public Health Care Across Canada | The Tyee
A new law opens the door for two-tier care that would destroy medicare.

Not a huge fan of David “LNG” Eby but I’m with him on this one. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/eby-alberta-separatist-group-treason-9.7071107?cmp=rss

B.C. premier doubles down on calling Alberta separatist movement seeking U.S. support 'treason' | CBC News
Calgary-based data analyst John Santos warns that that kind of language could push people toward separatism.

“Alberta premier says province might impose oversight of Calgary’s water system after latest break”
What is Premier Smith going to do exactly? Furrow her brow? Call up Trump for a favour? Because it sure won’t be: raise sewage/tax rates to fund sustainable replacement of sewage infrastructure…. Which is very obviously what is actually happening.

Good Morning #Canada
There's been a lot of references to Badlands on social media lately, something about a movie or something. Seems like an opportunity to revisit some real bad lands in Alberta. Seventy-five million years ago, give or take a million years, when dinosaurs walked the earth, southern Alberta was a subtropical paradise of towering redwoods and giant ferns. But then the glaciers came and had their way with the landscape. Today, fertile plains suddenly drop away into a world of multi-hued canyons and wind-sculpted hoodoos. Spanning east from Drumheller to the Saskatchewan border and south to the United States, this region is known as the Canadian Badlands. It is home to the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world. It's a little bit more famous than the Cheltenham Badlands in Ontario.

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his government’s blessing to an oil pipeline last week
that would cross Alberta and British Columbia and terminate at the Pacific.
But amid fierce debate over the political, environmental and economic implications of the project,
experts warn that the multibillion-dollar project faces immense – and poorly understood – geological hazards.

Seeing all of the Flock posts lately got me wondering: is there a privacy-preserving way to accomplish the public benefit of traffic/speed cameras (reducing speeding and red light running) without also turning them into blanket ALPR spies tracking where everyone goes?
The best idea I came up with is a split system architecture that treats the camera as adversarial.

Good Morning #Canada
B.C. is full of hipsters, Alberta is oil obsessed, Ontario has a superiority complex, PEI prays to potatoes, and all Newfies drink Screech at breakfast. Every Province and Territory is known for their unique habits, culture, and views of the world. And we all hold expectations and misconceptions of our neighbours across internal borders. Hey, it's a long winter and we need some gossip to get us to the end of it.
The attached video provides a detailed rundown of stereotypes for each Province and Territory, and some of the content is accurate, like Toronto being the centre of the universe. It's a bit long but you can select a chapter to check out your Province, or one that you dislike. My favourite is Albertans pouring oil on their cereal.
