@CourtEllingson BS: no one is denied access…but it does have to be paid for just like every other country in the world. Why mislead?

MAID for mental illness, beyond being built on the false premise that mental illness is incurable, would negate every single public health measure we have. If someone can do the ultimate harm (die) because of mental illness, there is no rational justification for trying to curb any behaviour that creates self harm. No one on the pro side has ever been able to address this

This policy of not deporting migrant sex offenders to keep them "safe" in Canada endangers Canadian women. There is no sense to it.

How stupid do you think your readers are that you think you can still write this nonsense and people won’t call you on it ?

EDITORIAL: Carney's Palestinian statehood blunder
Canada has already recognized Palestinian statehood even though none of his conditions for statehood including disarming Hamas and holding elections this year have been met

Yes, absolutely to all of your questions.

The city of Calgary is completely beholden to the provincial government and any law, bylaw or ordinance can be repealed by the provincial government as you are NOT another layer of government.

You are a citizen chosen administrator and your job is keep the city clean, health and its infrastructure in good working order.

Nothing else.

Which is exactly as it should be.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

Looks like the mayor has never read the Municipal Government Act especially sections 618 to 620. A provincial override has been the law of Alberta for several decades. And, since 1905, the Alberta Government has had exclusive power to decide what decisions municipalities can and cannot make.

[Stockwell Day @Stockwell_Day]

So will the socialist Premier Eby now also demand the resignation from his office and his government everyone who attends anti-Israel rallies shouting “death to Jews,” and the hateful Hamas death chant ‘ from the river to the sea’?

@rita_rewerts @KnightLegg @NikiSharma2 Name calling & labels…great response…that’s all you got?

[NotHarveyDent @allin_ironwill]

@rita_rewerts @KnightLegg @NikiSharma2 Wow, Rita, you have drank the kool aid…while having collectively built one of the most successful and equal opportunity societies in the world, what are the terrible shortcomings you are referring to?

[BCBarracuda @BCCuda]

Will @Dave_Eby bench @NikiSharma2?

Racism in ANY form is unacceptable. If her words or actions promote racial division, the public deserves answers and accountability.

No double standards. No excuses.

Racism has no place in politics.

Will Dave Eby address this, or remain silent?

BENCH THIS RACE BAITER NOW!!!

[Shane Wenzel @ShaneWenzel]

Traci, that’s exactly the double standard I’ve been pointing out. The mayor is entitled to his opinion on the referendum, but so are Albertans who disagree with him. And municipalities are under provincial jurisdiction. I’d rather see the mayor focus on Calgary’s finances, infrastructure and the issues he was elected to address. There’s certainly no shortage of work to be done.

[Lee Humphrey @tleehumphrey]

Seems to me like it’s a bit of a conflict of interest to be the BC AG & a full blown racist. What say you Premier @Dave_Eby ?

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

UPDATE: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, now in the 21st year of a four-year presidential term, has just confirmed that he will not honour his commitment to the Canadian government on Palestinian statehood.

As reported by the @TorontoStar, Hamas called the postponement “a step in the right direction.” The decision comes amid reports of an “alliance between Hamas, Islamic Jihad and a bloc led by former Fatah security chief Mohammed Dahlan.”

The Canadian government must now hold the Palestinian Authority accountable for failing to meet its commitment to hold “general elections in 2026 in which Hamas can play no part.”

Federal Liberals blaming Danielle Smith for the rise of Alberta separatism are gaslighting us.

How else can one explain the cognitive dissonance of blaming the Alberta government for the forthcoming referendum and not reckoning with the role of the Trudeau-Guilbeault era?

The rise of Alberta agitation was wholly predictable. So much so that the appointment of Guilbeault to the environment portfolio has to be interpreted as a deliberate act of political provocation.

Guilbeault, a self-described socialist who was arrested for his climate activism, is arguably the most radical federal cabinet minister in modern Canadian history. And for more than three years, Justin Trudeau empowered him to give his activism expression in federal policy.

It’s sort of the equivalent of appointing a federal Industry Minister whose overriding political project was to do harm to the auto sector.

Trudeau knew whom he was appointing, what he stood for and how that appointment would be received in Alberta. Yet he did it anyway.

Guilbeaultism’s policies and posture towards oil and gas and the broader conventional energy sector were inherently hostile. The oil and gas emissions cap in particular (literally) singled out Alberta’s most important sector.

What did they think was going to happen? How did they think Albertans would react?

That the Carney government has distanced itself from the Trudeau-Guilbeault era and reversed many of its most damaging policies is an implicit recognition of its economic and political costs.

Now, as Premier Smith attempts to responsibly managing the ongoing fallout from that era, it requires an extraordinary lack of political self-awareness to blame her for this whole mess and not see the culpability of the Trudeau-Guilbeault agenda.

When a Canadian project of any magnitude is announced First Nations will immediately don their traditional dress and oppose the project and continue to oppose until their share of the revenue is deemed satisfactory. It's not about keepers of the land its always about the money!

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the Attorney General of British Columbia.

Yes, the Canadian system is so lenient on foreign sex criminals that it's not guaranteed that a guy like this will be deported. This can be fixed but the government does not want to do that.

[Bong Sim @BongSim_Psy]

Back in 2018, BC’s current Attorney General Niki Sharma posted this:

“The unbearable whiteness of local elections results.”

She’s saying it’s a problem that too many white people got elected.

The person who said it is an Indian woman from the left-wing BC NDP.

Flip it: if a white conservative had written

“The unbearable Indianness of local elections results,”

it would’ve been called racist immediately and turned into a full-blown scandal.

Why does one side get a pass and the other doesn’t?

The standard should be the same either way.

[Shane Wenzel @ShaneWenzel]

I find it rather rich that Calgary’s and Edmonton’s mayors are calling the province’s actions an attack on democracy and telling Premier Smith to stay in her lane.

Both weighed in on Alberta’s provincial referendum, and Calgary’s mayor went as far as using the term “useful idiots” when discussing Alberta separatists on national television.

They were both elected to manage municipal affairs, not to continually tell Albertans how to vote on provincial matters.

They are absolutely allowed to have an opinion, but first and foremost, they should do their jobs. If they expect the Premier to stay in her lane, perhaps they should both stay in theirs.

That’s a double standard, plain and simple.
