@Daveography They're dumping 'warm' water? That seems very Alberta.

@Chigaze haha, you’re so right! I’d giggle a bit if hockey fans managed to knock out the internet

@zlatko @virtuous_sloth It became convention in the early days when Twitter was good and had a very small character limit to shorten Canadian cities to their airport codes. There was a big cohort of Westjet employees in the very beginning and I think they are to blame. #yyc is Calgary #yeg is Edmonton #yvr is Vancouver etc etc.

@britt Thank you for your vote in advance… I also will be sure to show up.It would be very easy for people to check out in frustration with this stuff and end up not voting, so this is my first of many reminders to everyone that not participating will *not* be viewed as a protest, nor will a low turn out convince them that the results are illegitimate or don’t constitute a mandate. The only way to take wind out of their sails is to deliver a sound and clear defeat. That will require *every* progressive, compassionate, clear-thinking Canadian in Alberta to show up and make their views known.#ABPoli #CdnPoli

(quietly, in the background, you hear Amelia muttering fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, what have I done? I'd sent an email Wednesday evening, while I was out playing & feeling confident & had just talked to the event host Adam Holm. But after not hearing from the bar manager for three days I figured it had gone to spam & oh well, Adam said they're planning to do this every other month, so I'll reach out again in April when I'll be that much more prepared! But oops, no, now I've got less than a week to prepare. And to remind myself that it's just like the open stages I've been doing, except with a longer set and the chance of money at the end! That's a simple equation, yes? I got this. Sure I do. Would love to see you there, though. )#AmeliasMusic

@AnastasiaE @robyn That decision-making about cleats is painful!! The worst ice I'm encountering now is in my building's parking lot, but I can't usually force myself to put them on and take them off for such a short walk. I paid the price on Tuesday, when I had a hard fall walking around a car.Well done on the winter run and getting the shoes right. All of the runners I saw today were in shorts and short sleeves. It's lovely weather to be active in!#YEG

...while our average January temperatures have increased by 8-10°C since records began in the 1880s, February isn't quite that extreme with temperatures up by around 3-5°C.https://public.tableau.com/shared/H88MTXWF3?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

@integral_toast Yikes! The riverside trails are exceedingly treacherous during the winter.
