I was heavily influenced as a kid by Top Gun. To me, even back then — even with Mav's wildly confident aggression, Ice Man's perfect flat top and jawline, and Slider's impeccable physique — I knew Viper was the coolest of the cool in Miramar.
RIP, Tom Skerritt.

HEY ALBERTA. Everybody is still trying to figure out what's happening in Wainwright and how to help.
Want to help?
DONATE BLOOD.
You don't need all of your blood; just most of it. Burn victims need lots of blood. Plus, more blood is always better. tinyurl.com/8ay7wh2k
Spoke with Canadian Blood Services. I’m told there is no emergency blood drive currently in Wainwright but they are taking appointments starting Tuesday in Edmonton. There has been an outpouring of support to offer blood and O positive and O negative blood is the most versatile and in high demand. If you can give please call +1 (888) 236-6283
Thank you everyone for your prayers and for being there for our men and women in uniform at this difficult time.

For the events that are currently occurring at CFB Wainwright, if you learn of a name or come across a social media post sharing a name, please do not repost it.
The military has a notification process in place (I did casualty processing in Afghanistan).
You don't want a loved one to find out through social media.

Carrie Tait on Alberta separatists traveling to Washington: "They had been bragging about meeting with state officials and feeling as though their message was warmly supported at the highest levels of the administration."

Mayor of Calgary on separatists colluding with GOP operatives: "It's such disingenuous bull crap. Look, if you want to live in the United States, move to the United States."

Foreign workers visited Alberta emergency rooms ~30,000 times last year out of ~2.3 million visits.
Meaning, foreign workers were 1.3% of total visits.
Foreign workers are not responsible for the state of Alberta health care.

Anyway, if you want to know why Jeff Rath is so pissed with me he fired up Grok, it's because I pointed out why the vote-to-leave-for-leverage argument is so dumb and dangerous. readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson-…

“This pandemic of disinformation and dishonesty, through the conduit of the Alberta separatist movement, is testing not our hospitals but our political institutions and our belief that Canada is worth fighting for.”

Over the ten years, Premier Smith claims Alberta faced a hostile federal government, oil and gas production doubled, and Ottawa poured tens of billions into energy infrastructure. The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. thewalrus.ca/alberta-separat…

The numbers are getting harder to ignore. 👇
A new University of Calgary report has estimated the potentially devastating costs of separation:
🚨 $170 billion – potential five-year cost of separation
🚨 10% – potential job decline
🚨 $12,000 – potential annual wage loss
Separatists may be comfortable gambling with the prosperity Albertans have worked so hard to build, but the majority of Albertans are not.
On Oct. 19, vote to stay.

Alberta separatists cannot be happy with the economic analysis of separation that the School of Public Policy has written. What is their rebuttal? And calling it fake news put out by a bunch of pointy headed academics is not a serious rebuttal.

Let's be clear: the "smooth" route relies on a group of separatist leaders -- who can't generate consensus amongst themselves on a vision or plan -- to marshal unanimous agreement among all provinces, the federal government, Indigenous governments, the US, and others.
New separation report just dropped.
The U of C’s independent report on the potential impacts of separation offers two main scenarios.
Here's the analysis if things don't go exactly to the separatist plan- and uh it's very, very, very, very bleak.
