I usually take time to craft and hone and practice my Senate speeches. But yesterday I rose unprepared and impromptu to address an amendment to Bill C-12, thru the eyes of an Albertan, haunted by the official xenophobia of my province. Turns out, if you’re angry enough, you don’t need notes. https://youtu.be/7U4evGu-jks?si=5YNOEJFxfJxXbwNo #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #immigration

Senator Senior’s amendment to Bill C-12 passed - a nice surprise. I had less luck with the amendment I proposed tonight, to try to put some meaningful parliamentary oversight on the mass cancellations of visa and permanent residency cards. I thought my amendment was elegant. But it may have been too clever for its own good! https://youtu.be/7U4evGu-jks?si=5YNOEJFxfJxXbwNo #C12 #BillC12 #immigration #cdnpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

Good rant. Thank you 👏
Perhaps their hatred of the "Laurentien Elite" is because they are actually a very diverse group! -

@Paulatics YOU! RULE!
I am halfway through your speech here and it is just so enheartening to hear leadership speak up for decency and care of fellow human beings like this

@jamesmarshall wow!

@evan not for a whole season or anything. We did road trip from Houston to Colorado once to see 3 shows at Red Rocks and 2 at Telluride, all quite spectacular. Usually I would just fly from Houston to California for a run of 3-4 shows.
-
@evan In typical Canadian style, I measure distance in hours. Depending on how much I like the artist, 3 to 6 hours. :D
-
@jamesmarshall That's cool! Did you ever go fully "on tour"?
-
@jimi OK but traveling farther usually costs more money
-
@evan I once traveled from California to London to see Kate Bush. It was so worth it! I also used to travel within the US to see the Dead, and more recently have traveled to New Orleans or LA to see shows by favorite musicians. If it's an interesting place, you can always make a fun trip out of it.

@evan the obstacle here is money, not distance hahaha

@evan Given we once flew to Seattle just for a weekend for a concert…
