This is absolutely deranged:
Months before murdering 6 people and injuring 27 more, ChatGPT told the teen school shooter in Tumbler Ridge, BC that using a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun is “brutal” in a “hallway, indoors or a crowded classroom” because “close quarters” is that gun’s “playground”

Stanley Park in Vancouver is one of the most beautiful urban areas in Canada.
With 500,000 trees, it is larger than Central Park in New York.
Inhabited by humans for thousands of years, it has a deep history.

Forget about banning American imports. In Alberta, the government is actively importing as many aspects of their political culture as possible. The latest: election denialism.

Polling has been stagnant for a year and a half. Very little undecided. Regional breakdowns. Separatism dominates in Rimbey, taber, and small cities of MH and GP. Federalism dominates big cities and RD and Lethbridge. Intensity is higher among separatists so it is voter turnout that matters.
