Let's hope Smith's UCP takes this as a message and drops this new gerrymandering legislation... https://globalnews.ca/news/11812868/supreme-court-rejects-quebec-election-map/ #ableg #yyc #yeg #elections #Alberta

I bought the tool secondhand somewhere in #Edmonton, #Alberta sometime shortly after the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic, as one of many quasi-random #tools and #materials I would end up testing and using to create my own masks that would be safe for me to wear for long periods and provide the best degree of homemade #PPE protection I could manage whilst also avoiding problems with #allergies (such as metal on nose-fittings). 3/x #TrialAndError #testing #experimental #experimentation #safety #health #CovidIsNotOver

An intetesting peculiarity of living in #SocialHousing is that we are explicitly banned from having window-based #AC in our units. While I live in #Alberta, my understanding is that this ban is found throughout social housing #leases in #Canada. Granted, the writing style and language choices strongly suggest such leases were drafted in the early 1970s at the latest, and back then I would have easily agreed that #AirConditioning would not be necessary. However, 50-some years on, the heat is routinely a bajillion (estimated 😛) degrees higher and #disabled folks and others in social housing are BANNED* from installing what is literally life-saving equipment under the 'new normal' of our #FireSeason summers. *TBC: portable AC units are not explicitly banned (not commercially-available yet when the leases were written??? 🤔) but these have limited range and are usually energy-inefficient compared to modern AC window units 6/x #health #safety #medical #medications #disability #poverty

Now, the Hoarding Foundation of Alberta is, imnsho, great. 🙂 Prior to the beginning of the #covid19 #pandemic I had gone to their in-person support group and found some very useful strategies for dealing with what I recognised could become a significant problem. Back then, they weren't even a formal organisation yet and I'm pleased that they've come so far to provide much-needed expertise on this disorder. Check them out here! 🙂 https://www.hdfa.ca 13/x #hoarding #materials #objects #accessibility #Alberta #yeg

My frozen options are limited, though. Many contain ingredients I'm outright #allergic to or my body responds poorly to. One line I used to eat frequently was discontinued on #Canada and that narrowed things down even more. And the expense! As mentioned above, the #disability pension disabled people in #Alberta rely on has not been increased since 2016. Not that this pension was ever particularly generous, but I've never felt truly food-insecure since grocery #inflation began ramping up so overtly over the past 5-6 years. My family member observed (correctly) that making food can be much cheaper and i definitely healthier than the options I presently rely on. But they also know the physical challenges I face and the implications, so they assessed the kitchen not just for #access to various parts of it, but also to rearrange for usable #workflow. 21/x #usability #organisation #accessibility

For the last month, I've been working on mapping the town of Strathmore #Alberta in #OpenStreetMap . Happy to announce that, while addresses are still needing to be added, most if not all buildings in the town are now mapped.

This #datacenter in #alberta isn't going ahead for the time being. I think that's a good outcome! #ai #artificialintelligence #abpoli https://thenarwhal.ca/olds-data-centre-denied/

How many Calgarians know of the then-nascent Calgary Winter Festival, its ski jump and warm-weather problems that plagued it almost 70 years later at the 1988 Winter Olympics... #yyc #Alberta https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-victoria-park-ski-jump-exhibition

So the 197 immigrants who moved to Alberta last fall from outside the country are somehow too many and are taking jobs away from Albertans, yet Smith whined at Trudeau in 2024 that Alberta had not received the 14,000 immigrants and temporary workers that she had asked for. #abpoli #Alberta Danielle Smith's Referendum Question: Do you support the Government of Alberta taking increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels, prioritizing economic migration and giving Albertans first priority on new employment opportunities?

Renewed attempt to stop coal mining in Rockies Since 2020, coal mining has been especially contentious in Alberta. During that time, country musician Corb Lund became a vocal opponent of coal exploration in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Now, as CBC's Jo Horwood reports, his advocacy is moving to a more official step with the relaunch of a petition that the provincial gov... #coalmining #environment #advocacy #Alberta #RockyMountains https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/9.7101870?cmp=rss

Am I correct that there is about, say, 4-8 times more #yeg than #yyc posts on the Fediverse. Or, perhaps, have I subsequently followed more Edmonton people? I don't think so. May I need to post more Calgary-centric stuff to liven things up. #Alberta

For those folks looking for programmable #sensors or #controllers or other devices that are easily customized, i recommend Phidgets. A 🇨🇦 company, based in #Calgary, #Alberta, that has been around for about 20 years. I have used it for sensor projects (heat and humidity) and a fun #RFID project. Huge library of projects available in a lot of languages (C, C#, Python, Java, and more). Lots of online support. Most devices are backwards compatible, but their have been new standards (e.g. RFID) which require reader up grades. Well made, inexpenaive. #Computers #IT https://phidgets.com/
