Prorogue this!
Living in Old Strathcona you’re never too far away from this rally or that protest. This weekend was no exception.
Edmontonians took the streets, and then Dr. Wilbert McIntyre (Gazebo) Park, to show the Prime Minister they’d rather have him, and all elected MPs, back in the House of Commons.
The interesting thing about this day of protest, across the country, was that things started on Facebook.
Could the Internet be turning around all of our political apathy? (more…)
Pancake Park
Pancakes is serious business.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I live in Old Strathcona. That why I keep stumbling into events in Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park. It’s also neat to see how a park can transform itself event to event.
(People frequently call this “Gazebo Park” though the city’s website says it’s been named for the good doctor since 1989. What’s up with that?)
This Saturday it was New Democrat MLA Rachel Notley‘s pancake breakfast.
Yum.
Pancakes, lots of syrup and sausages. That’s how politics works.
First one to eat 50 wins.
The NDP spends 80% of their legislative office budget on syrup.
