Here's a question for Canadian cinephiles: I recall seeing a movie, Canadian, many years ago. Could be even the 70s. It is set in a rural area. A couple in a car are ambushed. The car flips. The woman is hanging upside down held by her seatbelt. She manages to get out 1/4
She discovers she has been shot in the head and there is a disturbing scene of her sticking her finger into her head wound. But she manages to get to a farm, seeking help, but things just get much worse. And there is a lot of "hunter and prey" scenes in the farmhouse...2/4
and barn. That's all I recall about it. Anyone know what movie that is? Any suggestions? I have been trying to find it again for years, but not knowing the name is a big obstacle... 3/4
Any ideas? Any leads? 4/4
The woman was young, long hair. Very pretty. I just remember short images. She was tough. She kept going. Later in the film she get shot in the barn, shotgun blast I think. She was wearing a knit turrleneck, in my memory. But she gets up and keeps going....
Big takeaway from the film in my young mind at the time was sometimes people get shot and it doesn't kill them. I think maybe I was in the 10 -12 year old range, so it's pretty foggy. But it made a big impression. I would love to find it again, if only to see it as an adult.

So, provincial conservative governments are promoting the US as Canada's saviour while rejecting help from our federal government. Meanwhile, the CPC are trying to hang our federal government out to dry for an appointment they made knowing full well what Vance had been accused of
They are also attacking the federal government for their management of the Covid pandemic, although they have said they would not have introduced any CERB or other help to people because *checks notes* it makes workers lazy, and conservatives don't believe in helping people.
They accuse the government of spending too much on vaccines while complaining the vaccines are not arriving fast enough. While provinces have vaccines sitting in freezers because provincial governments aren't organized enough to get doses out to people.

This may be a very controversial idea. But, imagine if someone in non-covid times took a bunch of vials containing random materials, some possibly toxic and some benign, and went through a bar or food court, randomly sprinkling the contents into random unattended food or drinks.
Some people may get sick. Some may die. Some may be unaffected. Would that person be a criminal? Would they be culpable, not knowing for sure if they were exposing other people to things which might be harmful or not?
How is it different if someone goes to an event like this, with what should be full knowledge of potential exposure to a potentially lethal virus (given all the public health information made very publicly broadcast),

@AlbertaatNoon Not only do I not agree with the War Room going after a cartoon, I disagree with the premise of the War Room and how it is structured. Public money should never be going into a totally unaccountable entity. We have no way to know how our money is being used. 1/5
$30M is a lot of money. So is $12M. There are needs in society that could be addressed with this money. How do we know the War Room isn't just a funnel to move Albertans' money into offshore MLA accounts? We don't. They have no oversight, no FOIP, no accountability. 2/5
The War Room is a black box fighting enemies that, as far we know, are figments of the UCP imagination. If you put the future of the planet, and our children first, it makes no sense to look at those who want to save the environment as enemies. 3/5

Hey! Here's an idea. Instead of asking a stupid referendum question about equalization that won't have any meaningful impact b/c we still have to pay federal taxes, how about a referendum on calling a provincial election? Like, the day after the municipal elections in Oct? #ableg
Instead of wasting your referendum question on a bit of political theatre, I challenge the @UCP_HQ to ask Albertans if they want a provincial election. Right now. Right after the municipals. Polls in November. Do it. Or are you scared? #ableg #abpoli
It's a simple question: Would you like to have a provincial election immediately instead of waiting until 2023? Yes or no?

Most people agree on this. Some are concerned that two young lives have been cut short, while others grumble about how the courts will use mental illness or addiction to get the young man a light sentence. 2/15
We don't know anything about these people or their relationship, situations, or state of mind. But here are some facts:

1. Every 2.5 days, a woman or girl is killed in Canada. 3/15

What a great juxtaposition! Trudeau looks like a scholar, a statesman, a leader. O'Toole looks like that middle-aged man caricature we see on tv... 1/
I know people can't help how they look. But as RiverRising rightly points out, it was the CPC that made it all about appearance. So who does Erin O'Toole look like? Perhaps we can make a list... I'll start... 2/
