A few short vids from the debut of Schoolbus Bob yesterday at a Canada Day pancake breakfast. The drummer and I (and also the person who put on the breakfast and took the vids) are all School Bus drivers. We play Weird Al-style parodies about Schoolbus stuff exclusively. There was an attempt to use my #Zynthian for an Electric Avenue cover, but this being a Free Software device, there was naturally a problem with the driver for my Launchpad, so I was hitting the wrong pads and the loops were not really properly constructed, so it was a well-documented and rather funny trainwreck. When things are falling apart onstage, I go for the laugh, and generally people are happy with the show. I believe I have occasionally convinced them it was all staged. I am very grateful to have gotten hooked up with Don, cause he's a shuffle demon - he can do any beat, and he picks up on all my body language, I barely need to look at him to get him to do a stop or whatever, he's amazing. To illustrate, this show had a laughable small amount of rehearsal, and I'm mostly pretty happy with it, and that's mostly because Donnie was there. Indeed, the clip of Stuck In The Middle, which is just a straight playing of the song, is from the soundcheck (most of the audience was already there lol) and we had never played that together before. Anyways, there will be more from Schoolbus Bob, including our forthcoming album, Oh By The Way, Which One's Bob? #Music #CanadaDay #TeulonManitoba

The Alberta Legislature on Canada Day. This is MY Canada, so diverse and inclusive! All the people I keep hearing "don't belong" are here donning red and maple leaf motifs, speaking many languages which I don't need to undersrand, wearing the trappings of many cultures and religious practices. This October 19th, your Alberta government wants you to vote on referendum questions to strip many of these people (all of the non-colonial immigrant groups) of their place in Alberta, and the supports they need to survive here, even public healthcare and education! Vote NO to DISCRIMINATI0N this October 19th! Happy Canada Day to ALL! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #inclusion #racism #canadaday

Dear diary, T - 4 days. I drove some of the kids downtown tonight since they wanted to walk around and watch the fireworks by the lake. So many people. Made me feel very alone. I don't like being in crowds, but tonight's drive highlighted for me how alone I am. Spent the evening sitting at home waiting for the kids to call and say they were ready to be picked up. Did some programming. Now 3am. 4 bugzilla tickets closed. Time for bed. #CanadaDay

This being Canada Day, let's take a look at a few interesting Canadian city/town names, starting with Dildo, Newfoundland (pop: 803), which has a Hollywood parody sign celebrating their famous name. At the time of naming in 1711, the term meant any cylindrical object and probably referred to local rock formations. #CanadaDay #Newfoundland

For Canada Day, I'd like to share The Most Canadian Picture ever. It also helps me to remember that colder temperatures are possible. This sled thingy was improvised by installers at Dave Rampel Solar farm on Rainy River First Nations land in NW Ontario (it's about 1 km from Minnesota). It was below -35 °C on that day, and the installers were finding that their cable ties were shattering from the cold. So they went home. #CanadaDay #solar

This country isn’t perfect for a great many reasons but in a lot of ways it’s pretty damn good and Albertans that know better (the large majority of us) need to stand up for it Happy Canada Day y’all 🇨🇦 2/2 #CanadaDay #yyc #abpoli #cdnpoli

Hey Canadians. If you’re experiencing troublesome weather this Canada Day, you should sign this petition, and if you have already signed, thank you, please share it!

Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in protecting Canadians through weather forecasting, severe weather warnings, climate monitoring and scientific research;

Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate related events, including wildfires, floods, atmospheric rivers, hurricanes, heat waves, winter storms and derechos;

Weather radar research, observation stations, Weatheradio services and frontline meteorological staff are essential public safety tools, particularly for rural, remote and Indigenous communities;

Recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity, and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor, and respond to dangerous weather events;

Reliable weather forecasting and climate science are vital to emergency preparedness, transportation safety, agriculture, marine operations and public confidence; and Canadians deserve a strong, modern and fully supported public weather service.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to

  1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;

  2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;

  3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;

  4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and

  5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.
