So went onto Alberta Connect Care to book my COVID shot and for the nearest clinic to me was given a date of November 22nd. Tried for any clinic and was offered October 31st on the other side of town. Because I want have at least two weeks before international travel and I won't have a car on the 31st I decided to book at Shoppers Drug Mart and got October 27th. I'm fortunate my employer will cover what the Alberta Government was going to charge but this whole setup is bullshit compared to past years when I could literally walk into a pharmacy without an appointment and get the shot.

@dmacphee A prime example is Kevin O'Leary's plans for the "largest AI data centre in the world". Not only a water hog (in a drought stricken municipality) but it's to be powered by natural gas-based electricity. Also on Treaty 8 territory - they don't seem concerned about getting indigenous buy-in.

These thirsty AI data centres should be fought against tooth and nail. They are raping the country of its water with literally zero oversight. For goodness sakes don’t use shit AI programs when you have your own intelligence.

The Famous 5 have such a dark complicated legacy, that celebrating Persons Day always brings mixed emotions. Five years ago, I created this video essay exploring the meaning of the Persons Case to me - and to Canadian constitutional history. Posting it again today, ICYMI. https://youtu.be/a_HhQP3HoxU?si=1KElQ2B2ovlNYGqy #PersonsDay #PersonsCase #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #yeg #yow #Canada #Alberta #eugenics #Vriend
