A fellow atheist from Edmonton asked me if I knew of any upcoming atheism related events. Being as unorganized as I have been, I had nothing to offer at the time. However, I’ve fully embraced Google Calendar as my time management tool of choice and now feel better equipped to point Edmonton atheists/skeptics in the right direction…

Society of Edmonton Atheists (SEA)
SEA Facebook Page (great way to stay connected)
Greater Edmonton Skeptics Society (GESS)
GESS Facebook Page
SEA and GESS Google Calendars (events, meetings, get-togethers etc). Look at the bottom-right corner of the page for the “Add to Google” link.
Skeptic North Blog (Not just for Edmontonians)
Skeptically Speaking Radio/Podcast (note the Facebook, Twitter links in right sidebar)

These links will help you connect with the atheist and skeptical communities in Edmonton. Now, you’ll have to excuse me – I have to go accept some calendar invitations!

Alberta Lives Up To Its ‘Texas of the North’ Handle – Introduces Legislation That Will Help Parents Protect Their Children From Science

This is a sad day for the province I call home. It should also end any discussion I’ve had with people who claim Canada is a ‘moderately’ religious nation.

U.S. Doesn’t Have a Monopoly on Fundie/Creationist Crap

Much of the ridicule aimed at fundamentalists and creationists is directed at the US Bible Belt. I’m not from there. I’m Canadian.

And while many people are correct to say that Canada has much less of this garbage going on, there is one province that is the exception. That province is where I make my home – the province of Alberta.

Alberta is known as the most conservative province in Canada. There are good reasons for it being included in a recent variation of the United States of Canada and Jesusland map.

After all, we have our very own Big Valley Creation Museum. Yay Alberta.
