📢Alberta quietly changed hunting rules to allow dogs to assist in hunting black bears. We oppose the minister's changes made recently, and previously, which fail to use current science and are not aligned with many best practices. Full statement: albertawilderness.ca/awa-sta…

Translation: They got caught.
UPDATE: Missing sections of the Constitution Annotated website have been restored. Upkeep of Constitution Annotated and other digital resources is a critical part of the Library’s mission, and we appreciate the feedback that alerted us to the error and allowed us to fix it. constitution.congress.gov/

The national library has apparently, by accident, modified its online copy of the U.S. Constitution to remove the president’s least favorite part: The provision that guarantees people’s right to challenge their detention and demands the government justify their confinement. rollingstone.com/politics/po…

🚨 BREAKING: The official U.S. government website has quietly removed Sections 9 and 10 of Article I from the Constitution. Let me say that again: They didn’t amend the Constitution. They didn’t debate it in Congress. They just erased two of the most protective sections; the ones that deal with habeas corpus, limits on federal power, and Congress’s sole authority to set tariffs.

‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related. The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.” The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.” FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.

Every aspect of Sir Christopher Lee's life is astonishing. He met Rasputin's assassins, witnessed the last guillotine execution, hunted Nazis, recorded a heavy metal album, spoke nine languages, was Ian Fleming's cousin (author of James Bond), and was the only actor in “The Lord of the Rings” films to have met J.R.R. Tolkien.

🚨OH MY GOD: CBS asked Texas Rep. Ann Johnson if Democrats “ran from the fight.” Her response was epic: “No, abandoning your job is going to Cancun during a deadly freeze.” Then she went nuclear: “When Trump asked Georgia GOP to ‘find 11,000 votes,’ they said no. When he asked Texas GOP to steal 5 seats - they said, ‘Does July work for you?’”

Since we are reflecting on history… In 2001, Joe Clark was the first former (or sitting) Prime Minister to march in a Pride parade and served as Calgary’s Grand Marshal. 🏳️‍🌈 Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan would march as Grand Marshal in Edmonton’s Pride parade in 2005. 🌈
Another historical moment for Canada! @MarkJCarney becomes the 2nd Canadian PM in history to march in a Pride parade! ❤️ 🏳️‍🌈 By marching he sends a strong message to #LGBTQ2 Canadians that they are seen, valued, and supported at the highest levels of power in 🇨🇦#Pride 👏

If we could focus on getting rid of measles before we get rid of bike lanes, that would be great.
All municipal governments have a  duty to move traffic swiftly and efficiently across their cities. We shouldn’t be removing roads to create bike lanes if that means slowing down our transportation networks and adding to peoples daily commutes. I appreciate Minister Devin Dreeshen’s @DevinDVote leadership on this matter. Read more: calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…

Irony is officially dead in Alberta. Instead of the @Alberta_UCP working to solve the problems they're in charge of, they're spending time & energy policing local decisions like bike lanes & punishing cities that step up to solve the problems the UCP won't calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…

Harrison Ford on Michael J. Fox joining #Shrinking Season 3 to help Paul navigate his Parkinson’s diagnosis: "It’s been essential. Michael’s courage, his fortitude and his grace, more than anything else, is on full display. He’s very smart, very brave, noble, generous, passionate guy, and an example to all of us, whether we’re facing Parkinson’s or not. You cannot help but recognize how amazing it is to have such grace." wp.me/pc8uak-1lG7jB
