@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

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
Canadian voters, please think hard before you support the CPC. Take note that they think using M*usk's Starlink is the way to go. M*sk denied the use of Starlink by Ukraine, to help the Kremlin. Think about what decisions they'd make as cabinet ministers if CPC formed govt.
2/ Regarding what the Canadian govt is planning to use:
It's not normal to accuse govt of starting wildfires; wish to fire BofC's gov; push Bitcoin; be anti-expert; be anti-WEF; let Leslyn Lewis stay in front bench despite assoc w/AfD, etc.; march w/James Topp; back anti-vax mandate bill; call PET & PMJT Marxists; use MGTOW tag, etc.
3/ (My linked thread in 2/ doesn't include ref to Poilievre's anti-WEF stance, here's a ref)
"In speeches to Conservative supporters across Canada, Poilievre has promised that none of his ministers will attend the international organization's conferences" ctvnews.ca/politics/poili…
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.
@TheJasonPugh 3/
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).
