@CBCEyeopener We visit Silver Springs and Bowmont Park with our dogs. First two from Oct 2020, last two from March 2021 ImageImageImageImage
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.

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) Image
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. ImageImage
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 ImageImage
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 ImageImageImage
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 Image

Kristin, you're being shown a clip out of context. If you'd watched QP today, you'd know that he was responding to CPC member's claims that Cdns would save $500 to $800 if the carbon tax was removed. To save that you'd need to drive 37,000 klms. You'd need to drive non-stop 24-7.

I really think people like Kirstin mean well and I blame those who are lying to her or manipulating her with clips shared out of context.

Rage-farming with disinformation and use of hyperbolic rhetoric and tug-at-your-heartstrings anecdotes. I'm waiting for Poilievre to accuse the (fed Liberal) govt of k*lling puppies next (has come close to doing that today in #QP).

This interview with Vancouver Deputy Police Chief Constable Diona Wilson on @PnPCBC, is informative:

"The federal Conservatives say they won't be taking advice from "so-called experts" when it comes to carbon pricing, after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging Pierre Poilievre's stance."

My thoughts, this is like when Harper showed a disdain for experts. Sounds like if CPC formed next govt, data will be destroyed, scientific and economic programs under-funded, decisions made at the top without consultation with experts. Is this what Millennials wish? Really?

For anyone who wasn't paying attn to #CdnPoli (or was not voting age then) during Harper years, here's a good article by Carol Linnitt, in May 2013 issue of Academic Matters, "Harper’s attack on science: No science, no evidence, no truth, no democracy" academicmatters.ca/harpers-attack…

Let's face it. There are voters out there who are selfish. They'd rather save a few cents on a litre of gas*, than support the current govt who are implementing the most effective policies for reducing carbon emissions. They don't care about climate crisis. *(8/10 get a rebate)

I agree that politics has changed since time when Brian Mulroney PM, & there's more polarization & probs now - tracing back to Newt Gingrich in 90's, amplified & facilitated more recently by social media. However ...
2/
However, to simply say it's worse now, implies a 'both sides' that I think ignores the difference in how the Liberal and Conservative leaders act and speak. PMJT does NOT push conspiracies to hurt PP, but PP does - to hurt PMJT.
3/
So much is being said right now, about how better things were during Mulroney's time - where parties may have butted heads but also were willing to speak with each other and were (for the most part) respectful.

Here's the @TorontoStar article by @StephanieLevitz, about the topic they're discussing on @PnPCBC right now

(Abbrev) "At Feb 25 townhall in Etobicoke, MPs — James Bezan, Tom Kmiec & Shuvaloy Majumdar — were confronted by criticism Poilievre missing in action on Ukraine file & when he does show up, he only delivers partisan talking points."
(I recommend subscribing to @TorontoStar)

"You're alienating the Ukrainian support, absolutely, no doubt about it," said one man, who described himself as "definitely conservative."

"And I know that today you are explaining, and as you know, when you're explaining, you're not winning."
