Premier’s Leadership

Mr. Shepherd: Mr. Speaker, it seems the Premier is feeling the heat regarding her planned appearance tomorrow at a far-right Florida fundraiser alongside noted racist, homophobe, and Islamophobe Ben Shapiro. Just yesterday her chief of staff, Rob Anderson, rode out to defend her honour, declaring she was “going into the lion’s den” in a noble attempt to valiantly stave off the threat of tariffs and defend our democracy. He called it an act of courage.

Mr. Speaker, standing on stage to shoot the sugar with Ben Shapiro isn’t courageous; it’s conceited. This isn’t a trip to promote Alberta. It’s to pump up the Premier’s ego. This fanatical fundraiser for the far right isn’t a lion’s den; it’s a Conservative love-in. It’s a ‘conspiracalooza’, a full-on Qanon ‘Republicon’, the Opposite-of-Learning-Man, where conservative nerds of a feather come together at $1,500 a plate to support rolling back women’s rights, whitewashing slavery, and denying climate change.

No, the Premier’s actions aren’t noble, but I suppose they’re novel. She’s certainly the first provincial leader to ask a hostile foreign head of state to just pause their attacks on us to help elect a leader more willing to play ball with their unhinged demands, the first to attempt and fail to stop a tariff war with a campaign of selfies at high-end cocktail parties, the first sitting Premier to audition for a job with Fox News, all on the public dime.

It’s ludicrous. It’s ridiculous. But you know what? It’s not funny. It’s embarrassing. It’s pathetic. It’s an insult to every Muslim Albertan on their holiest day of the year, to every Albertan struggling to pay their bills even as they’re forced to pay for the Premier to cosplay as a Republican governor.

It just goes to show that the UCP isn’t a party of the people. They’re a party of the Premier, controlled by the Premier for the benefit of the Premier, and under this Premier what Albertans want and need comes dead last behind her ego, her ideology, and her Instagram feed.

Courage? That would be if a single UCP MLA would stand up and call this out. Well, Albertans are waiting and watching.

David Shepherd.

[bromcommie]

One endlessly good man who is still just a man being made into a legend he didn’t want as a side product of attempting to do the right thing (and pulling it off by sheer luck and an overabundance of balls) in order to be used for propaganda by people who always have something to gain from him and then being attacked for that same legend by those same people because it was meant to be an easily manipulated myth. It wasn’t meant to be a prophecy, it wasn’t meant to be true. All the butterfly story really is is just that, a story. That’s not how the world actually works and nobody can be that good anyway, right - but if somehow this one nobody man really is just naturally that good despite the way of the world around him, what does that mean for them? What does looking in that mirror make them? What light does his presence cast them in but an ugly shadow? So they try to tear him down to prove that he’s just a man and he is - he meddles and oversteps and fumbles his way through the shadowy workings of politics like a blind man, letting his faith in the good of people get in the way of good judgement - but he’s the kind of man that keeps choosing to be good and true over and over despite his doubts, despite what the world throws at him, that in doing so he inevitably inspires the people around him to do the same.

listen just. hold on. hold on I need a minute I am. thinking

David Shepherd: A lifetime of Improvisational Theater (VIDEO Documentary Film)

It was David Shepherd’s vision to create Compass. He and Paul Sills co-produced Compass (1955 – 1957), after working together on the Playwrights Theatre Club (1953 – 1955).  Compass directly led to the creation of Second City (1959). David Shepherd went on to produce other Compass companies from 1959 – 1964, in St. Louis, Washington DC, Boston, Hyannis MA, and New York. David Shepherd also…

Shepards Prairie

This is for an art showcase. My church is hosting on August 25! So these art pieces are supposed to be in a Western style about our 40-week series "THE GOOD BOOK" SOOO i decided to do week 12 "The Good Shepard" Psalm 23

I decided to draw David when he was a young shepard boy. I like to think that when David was a shepard boy and the greatest king, it was an example of how God is and how he takes care of us and leads us like how a shepard would lead his sheep. If that makes sense-

Soo yeah! David is my second favorite historical person to look back on and read (not his sins. What he did was pretty bad💀) but he is known to be the greatest king alive.

But yeah! Tada✨️

David Shepherd (1931-2017) — In the Sheds, Swindon [oil on canvas, 1958]

February 27, 2025

Mr. Shepherd: Now, given that the minister is currently investigating the city of Edmonton’s open, public process to appoint police commissioners out of concerns about bias and given that’s rather hypocritical given that all of the minister’s appointments have been made with no public process at all and given that he appointed the business partner of a man who just made $300,000 in three months selling land to the government for the Provincial Operations Centre, a facility that falls directly under his ministry, to the minister: since you support investigating bias, will you support our call for a public inquiry to get to the bottom of your and your colleagues’ potential involvement in the corrupt care scandal?

Mr. Ellis: You know what, Mr. Speaker? I support that member saying that question outside of that door; that’s what I support. Good luck with that.
