@CBCEyeopener We visit Silver Springs and Bowmont Park with our dogs. First two from Oct 2020, last two from March 2021
2/ I agreed with your inclusion of Silver Springs Gardens.
I missed the name of the hashtag your guest uses for Calgarians wishing to share suggestions of good spots for photography in the city, or I'd include it in this tweet.
3/ walking along the ridge in Silverthorn Park, to Bowmont Park, & Bowness Park, then the Bow River pathway(s), & including Twin Bridges = a great loop. Takes time, & you need to wear sneakers or other shoes with good treads - for coming down the ridge, but worth it (NW Calgary)
4/ here's a couple from Bowness Lagoon: one of trees with lights at Christmas one, and one of my sons & our dogs this past February.
5/ I'm trying to show the area in different seasons. Here are a couple from Bowmont Park from last July. The first one includes a dragonfly
6/ the best NW Calgary park for lookouts that include the city skyline, is Nose Hill Park. I'll have to look in my pictures' folder later on, to see if I have some pics to add. Nothing on hand right now
7/ Silver Springs ridge, looking westward during sunset - is another good place for photos (IMHO). I'm also including Tara, and Bentley (blep) - this was during the same walk, but before sunset
8/ this sign shows the area - good views of COP, Rockies, train bridges, Bow River, duck ponds, wild grasses, and so on. I like the boardwalks. I'm not crazy about heights & find some of the dirt paths feel less stable to me, when on some of the steeper hillsides - but doable

Am I letting my partisanship colour the way PP sounds? To me, the way that Poilievre says (as though an aside) "for a change," after saying he puts "Canada first," sounds like when I complain to my husband "thanks for listening, for a change." It's passive aggressive.
2/ I mean, I don't quip "for a change" very often (we have a good marriage), but when I do (usually under my breath) it's when I'm feeling frustrated. It's the kind of thing someone says who is trying to pick a fight or keep one going.
3/ Trying to pick a fight within Canada, is the wrong stance right now. I much prefer Carney's "unity" message.
Poilievre is spending all his time being extremely negative, saying everything that he thinks is wrong with Mark Carney and Sean Fraser - using hyperbole and twisting the facts to create a (false) narrative. His negativity is so off-putting. #Election2025
2/
I sure hope no-one falls for Poilievre's gross accusations and attempt to redirect the attn on him. Asked about the Globe and Mail's story, his answer is DISGUSTING - PP is trying to connect two DISPARATE things, Beijing murders and PMMC's former LEGIT business in China.
3/ Here's the Globe and Mail article (it's a gift link so anyone can read this, but please consider subscribing if you aren't already)
Chyrons on CBCNN: Carney's smaller cabinet will reflect his laser focus on the U.S. tariff threat and economy. Mark Carney will be mostly made up of ministers who have already been ministers in the past. Mark Carney expected to visit London and Paris next week, first trip as PM.
2/ @gmacofglebe "People are worried about economy. When Cdns see that the govt is being run by a cabinet that's smaller and tighter, they going to like that," (paraphrased).
@gmacofglebe 3/
@CharelleEvelyn will be looking for whether there will be virtue signalling like what was known from Trudeau's picks (my summary, not quoting).
The member for Sarnia-Lambton, ON - Marilyn Gladu, a CPC MP, just admitted to why they're really filibustering parliament - the Cdn federal Conservatives are taking a page out of the US' GOP playbook and obstructing govt legislation.
2/ The claim that docs haven't been provided to the RCMP by the Liberals, is not true. The RCMP have said they already have what they need for their investigation. Not only that, but it would be inappropriate for parliamentarians to direct the work of the independent RCMP.
*To clarify, it is a false claim being made by the CPC MP when she says that the Liberals didn't provide docs to the RCMP
