Bishop Edgar Budde: "My responsibility yesterday morning was to pray to the nation for unity... Unity requires a certain degree of mercy... We need to treat everyone with dignity. I was trying to counter the narrative that is so divisive in which real people are being harmed."

Danielle Smith says Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre “would be very much in sync with the new direction of America” #cdnpoli #Never51 #ElbowsUpCanada

“Never. They can’t have it!” #Carney2025 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

Where does PP stand on the cuts the Cons will make. They haven’t released their fully costed platform so voters don’t know how deep the cuts will go. Chicken shit. Just like the security clearance PP won’t get, he’s hiding the cuts to hoodwink voters. Kinda like Trump & DOGE did

Pierre Poilievre has no plan to stand up to Donald Trump.

Beautiful calypso orchids A spring show following the snow. A small pink flower; shaped like a slipper, a Cinderella slipper. A colour patch; colour in the dry grass. Of the Alberta Rockies forest. Kneeling before her to be close.

“Canadians freed my village.” Enternal gratitude in Western Europe. Finding Canadian war cemeteries. Beautiful remembrance of sacrifice on Canada Day. canadaremembersguide.com/about/ Still can’t share the news story.

It was cloudy & breezy today. Fewer clouds in the PM. 25C. #canmore #ShareYourWeather #abstorm Seagull Isle has re-emerged from th Bow River (no gulls). I wish I knew that plant’s name that survives being underwater for months. I’d wade over there but th channel is deep and cold!

There is evening and there is morning, the next day. #canmore #ShareYourWeather #abstorm. A very colourful sunrise this morning, 07/13/25 5:35. A pleasant temperature of 15 C. Cloudy. There was some interesting whispy structure in the clouds. Over Grotto Mountn and Lady MacDonald

A magnitude 7.3 earthquake in the Aleutian islands, Southwest Alaska. occurred this afternoon. A tsunami warning has been issued for SW Alaska and the tsunami is confirmed according to the lastest USGS bulletin. NO impacts to shorelines reported yet. #earthquake #alaska #tsunami

07/17/25 . 7:00 pm. The clouds were roiling this morning as rain fell. Time lapse video. #canmore #abstorm #ShareYourWeather 18 mm rain total today. Clearing this afternoon but still difficult to see the mountain peaks for snow. Probably little if any. Ground and air r saturated.

07/27/25 17:00 Tom Graham Weird little rain storm, #canmore 4mm in 30 minutes, then sun. But only raining on Canmore south side. Downtown, dry. #abstorm #ShareYourWeather Earlier, a helicopter flies out of the clouds. Respect for the pilot and later, mountains they fly by.

#USGS: Russian earthquake upgraded to 8.8 magnitude, which is nearly 10 times stronger than previously reported 8.0 since Richter scale is logarithmic. Strong aftershocks up to 6.9 magnitude. BC coast: be aware! TSUNAMI THREAT now indicated around the Pacific basin. #EARTHQUAKE

07/30/25: Seagulls have returned to Seagull Island. #Canmore The Old timer coal miner says that means 6 wks until first frost, so ~ mid-September. The Bow River is running fairly clear here exhibiting an aqua-teal colour while in Calgary it’s muddy, high & fast. #ShareYourWeather

#USGS 07/31/25: So many aftershocks in the Russian earthquake! Hundreds. And several above 6 magnitude -one this morning Earthquakes in subduction zones (green line on the map) are rarely “one and done.” BE AWARE, Pacific Northwest! Cascadia #subductionzone #russianearthquake

In years of living in Ontario, I never saw a free-range millipede before yesterday. They sure have a lot of legs. Imagine having to buy shoes for them? I wonder what the white segments are ? #arthropods #diplopoda #millipede It’s not an insect - far too many legs. Video is shaky.

A tale of two climates. #canmore is the rainbow 🌈 capital of the west, because IT HASN’T STOPPED RAINING this summer. The #Ottawa area is dry, dry. Crops need rain. The forest needs rain; every thing needs rain. #ShareYourWeather There should be wildfire concerns in the east.
