Little updated for everyone since this has changed since February. The price of electricity in Alberta has gone UP in the last month. On the odd chance anyone wants to know how much cheaper solar would be.

Join Bumpy for his first dip of the day! Flanked by Keepers Festus and Jackson, our little hippo hurried out of his stable and made a beeline for his personal pool. He briefly considered a nap between Jackson’s legs, thought the better of it, and dove right into the day, with a cute boop for good measure. Bumpy is one of our newest arrivals. His mother died, likely in a territorial fight defending her baby’s life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service rescued him and brought him into our care. You can become part of Bumpy’s journey. Read his full rescue story and support him through an adoption: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…

En unas impactantes imágenes que se han vuelto virales, un estudiante judío evocó la memoria del Holocausto y las enseñanzas transmitidas por su abuela para cuestionar el uso del trauma judío como justificación del genocidio en curso en Gaza. Mientras el estudiante confrontaba la visita de un soldado de las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI), enfatizó que la frase "Nunca Más" es un mandato universal y no un eslogan exclusivo de un grupo. “Mi abuela judía me habló sobre el Holocausto... me dijo: ‘Nunca más’. Esto no es ‘Nunca más’. ‘Nunca más’ significa nunca más para nadie.” Además de hacer comentarios que, según él, desmontan la propaganda que equipara los crímenes de guerra israelíes con la seguridad del pueblo judío, el estudiante también describió la dura realidad de la campaña militar de las FDI: más de 70.000 palestinos muertos, más de 300 periodistas y más de 1.700 trabajadores sanitarios fallecidos, además de niños que han sido atacados. El estudiante también mencionó el conmovedor caso de Hind Rajab, una niña de 6 años cuyo automóvil, según afirmó, fue perforado por 335 balas disparadas por tanques israelíes. La protesta terminó con una clara exigencia de rendición de cuentas internacional: “Si la justicia es real, ustedes serán procesados en La Haya”. A medida que más jóvenes judíos alzan la voz contra la ocupación, la narrativa de que Israel habla en nombre de todo el pueblo judío sigue debilitándose.

The US secretly approved a financial and maritime arrangement between Qatar and Iran, under which billions of dollars were paid to Tehran in exchange for free passage for Qatari tankers and ships through the Strait of Hormuz, three diplomatic officials now confirm. This was a deliberate and conscious course of action by the US administration, which allowed its navy to turn a blind eye to the arrangement, in complete contradiction of its declared policy. The move was intended to ease the crisis in global energy markets and curb rising oil prices. israelhayom.com/2026/06/15/t…

Former deputy PM John Manley: We used to always refer to the president of the United States as the leader of the free world. Donald Trump is not the leader of anything other than about the 37% of Americans that still support him. If anything, intellectually at least, Mark Carney has become the leader of the free world, the countries that believe in democracy and the rule of law.

How many of these four “responders” were somehow associated with Todd Loewen (minister of forestry), his family business (hunting outfitters) or any other hunters who happen to be friends with UCP MLAs?

Only on Planet Dickhead is 3 days worth of airstrikes on Gaza just 2 weeks before October 7 not counted as “military action.” And there was literally a full scale war on Gaza in 2021.

Imagine you are a single parent of a child being treated for cancer. You are living at the hopsital to be with them during chemo. You forget to renew your license & your kid's ID card. You lose your provincial health benefits. The layered cruelity of this policy is shocking.
