@davescrivener There's nothing in this about creating a venue. I read some fixing of lawns in order to facilitate events like EI, which have already been there for years. There is a lot of jumping to conclusions. I also read a whole section about holding queer space.

[Rob Easton @RobEastonCBC]

@davescrivener As far as I know, the city already allows electric island near hanlan's and that's it. No plans for a new venue. Wonder where this campaign is getting it's info from. Sounds like they are just trying to get attention by being controversial

Not that I'm on the Twit very much or understand it well but I see there are a bunch of tweets I'm mentioned in but they don't show up in my mentions. Weird.

"There is considerably more excess mortality in younger age groups, even after you adjust for toxic drug deaths, which are also themselves probably underreported," @MoriartyLab told CBC News

[Rob Easton @RobEastonCBC]

Alberta has seen roughly 10,000 'excess' deaths since 2020, and COVID doesn't explain it all

@DailyHiveVan Trois Rivières en français -- too many Rs in a row

When the numbers story you've been reporting on for months shows the effect on human lives...

@CalgaryPolice w/ their gender & sexual diversity committee are offering record expungement for men wrapped up in the 2002 Goliath's Bathhouse raid.

Some say it's a step in the right direction but will the community accept it as reconciliation?

I went down a rabbit hole on Calgary trees. #TreeInequity is a thing many cities are dealing with and turns out #Calgary is no exception

#LibbyMontana was the site of one of the worst industrial contaminations in U.S. history. Now residents are worried about selenium leaching into nearby #LakeKoocanusa. Written with my work pal @joeldryden and the fantastic editing of @TanisFowler

Recently had 2 white women in leadership positions direct me not to use the term “white” to describe white ppl. And I recently had hundreds (here on Twitter) tell me they don’t want to be called “settler.” So I ask with sheer curiosity/desire to get it right,what do we call you?

[Rob Easton @RobEastonCBC]

So awesome to have you here, @LorenMcGinnis

I'm a little late to posting this, but it was super cool to see @TheAnnaMurphy write an opinion piece for Calgary Pride.

[Anna Murphy @TheAnnaMurphy]

Friends, take a few moments to read how we can take #pride beyond the parade, and together bring safe and affirming communities to reality for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks.

Finding a GP in #Alberta is tough on a good day, finding #lgbt-specific care, doubly so

Doctors in short supply in Calgary anyway, now imagine trying to find one who's gay https://t.co/P56NULJuCb

Very pretty young woman in the middle seat on this airplane. I’m in the window seat. Dorky dude in an ill-fitting shirt tries to chat her up on the runway. She shuts him down hard, immediately, and puts her earbuds in, starts texting noisily with perfect manicured nails. 1 of 2
