#Cancel canada

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The Alberta government is backing away from a program that would have provided dental, optical and other health benefits for adopted children.

hey! i’m wondering what your thoughts are on the changed iditarod starting point this year? i came across some posts about it on accident and was kinda shocked that sled races can run over sections with no snow at all. is it typical for there not to be enough snow other years as well?

It's become quite common for Iditarod to change the start location (they do a different route on and off every other year anyways), but climate change has affected dog sled racing so Anchorage especially does not often have enough snow for the amount of strain many large dog teams put on a trail. They will often have to bring snow in to Anchorage for the ceremonial start (and we have had a ceremonial start for years with a different location to the actual starting point of the race because of climate issues for YEARS). Although, I know this year in Alaska has been especially poor in the snowfall department...

It's also quite common for sled races to run across areas without snow. For longer distance races this can be especially challenging because of the weight of the sleds, but in sprint-mid distance races where road crossings are quite common you're going to have sections where you kinda just have to sit back and know your runners are going to take a beating on the pavement for a minute. It's not ideal however, I think every winter musher I know would prefer to have good snow coverage (dryland is a different story).

i know i tend to baffle people a little the way i portray red deer in my comics and whatever because its such a weird nexus of alberta stereotypes that i try to avoid and all but i just want to reiterate that every once in a while i find a little more information on queer activism in red deer and i just want to remind the red deerios that your little city did some vital work collecting oral history in the 1990s and it pissed off stockwell day SO MUCH and i believe in you guys to keep that tradition alive mwah mwah
