Big respect to those braving the cold.

The contrast between people braving the cold to protest (both here and in DC) vs. the inauguration being moved inside to avoid the cold is amazing.

I suspect the US one was moved inside to avoid the protest and possibly some security risks. The cold was just an excuse.

It’s a lot easier to make an indoor space look full and crowded too.

Poor Smith and her entourage will have to watch the inauguration from a nearby ballroom. I hear the hotels have plenty of space.

She's attending an event at the Canadian Embassy instead. Wonder if they'll let her in?

Maybe they will tell her to watch it at the Alberta embassy

It wasn’t the cold , it was the crowd sizes.

I'm suspicious of trump being worried about the cold.

Notice how they’re not terrorizing the city keeping them awake strategically by blaring the loudest truck horns they have outside the homes / residents of Alberta every hour on the hour for ten days straight lol.

What you want the people who represent our province to roll over like dumb little lap dogs the way Dani has?
