Alberta legislative session is underway again.
Thus far, nearly all questions and responses have had to do with the referendum.
#NEW: Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul UCP MLA Scott Cyr says his constituency association has voted in favour of a leadership review at the party's AGM.
Worth noting that Mitch Sylvestre is president of this constituency association.

"Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said

On this day in 1984, Don Henley released "The Boys Of Summer," a song co-written with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
I'm glad I spent my hard earned Canadian dollars to watch the Grey Cup in my hometown of Calgary instead of tickets to the Leafs/Flames tonight.
Love the Leafs & the Dome, but ain't nothing like championship football in Canada's finest city.

Alberta UCP MLA Shane Getson has officially resigned his seat.
(Much speculation about who it was that resigned, and Getson was high — but not too high — on my list.)
Hello!
Live at the University of Alberta for a discussion about what to do now that the referendum is over.
Panelists are @RachelNotley, @ChantalHbert, @DrJaredWesley and former MLA Gary Mar.
Notley: "First thing the results tell us is that we don't have a very good Premier....It takes one heck of an unpopular figure to lose on the Senate question."
Gary Mar on the nine questions posed by @ABDanielleSmith: "A very clumsy way of trying to get a mandate to move on certain things."

So how about those internet outages?
My neighbourhood was down a good chunk of the day yesterday, thanks to people damaging outlets, while looking for copper wire.

Where is Vermont and Hawaii?
Yesterday, the Energy Department announced major investments towards Tribal communities energy infrastructure that will lower energy costs for Americans! 🇺🇸

This map has a number of mistakes which suggest it is AI-generated. Hawaii and Vermont are missing. Minnesota is also missing its Northwest Angle.

Small correction, but it's worth noting we don't have Premier-elect in Canada.
It's premier-designate in our parliamentary system.
Always cool to see your former junior high science teacher back singing the anthem at the Dome.
Cheers Mrs. L!
