- Scale: The multibillion-dollar project will feature two 5-story buildings and require a massive power capacity, with up to 400 MW proposed for onsite power generation.

For those living nearby - Start recording things TODAY...
Every week fill a glass of water inside your house, take a picture, document with date&time in the picture. Make note the pressure on the water, especially if you get water from a well.
Go outside on your porch and record the noise levels, again with pictures date/time etc.
Also document any environmental changes - less birds - dryer fields on the east side of Highway 2...
Keep doing this even after the datacentre(s) come online.
In case your water turns mucky or you get sick of a constant hum... you have a documented case... and lawyers LOVE documentation....
Stop by between 11am and 2pm - TODAY - July 1st - Canada Day 2026

It takes ~10min/pp of red tape removal - but it seems to work.
If in a common law or married relationship BOTH need to apply to get 1x $100.
The $400 Ralph bucks back in 2002 was a better deal ;-)

Western Wheel Poll - Do you believe the referendum on Alberta independence is the 'beginning of the end' for the UCP?
westernwheel.caSo Mr. Sigurdson, it's time to come clear... are you a traitor or are you a true Canadian?
According to this https://albertarepublicans.com/actionhub/mla-independence-scorecard/
he wants to leave...
Never received an answer to my question (of course)
Dear R.J. Sigurdson,
I am writing to you as a constituent of Highwood to inquire about your position on Alberta separatism.
As your constituent, I believe it is important that Alberta remains a strong part of Canada. I am concerned about ongoing indicators of government support for separatist movements.
Could you please clarify your position on:
- Bill 14 and separatist legislation
- Yes or No, do you support Alberta separating from Canada?
Additionally, will you be signing Naheed Nenshi's pledge to Canada, to confirm you denounce separatism?
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
YMMV contact directly:
403.995.5488 - They never answer...
Mr. R.J. Sigurdson

Coffee grounds
Do you add them to the pile and turn them around with everything else?
OR
Do you add them to the sifted black gold just before spreading the compost out into the garden?
or a bit of both? What would be the most beneficial to a veggie/flower garden?
