Recovering politician. My views are my own, for which my former colleagues are often grateful.

“Homeless by choice”? You are too stupid and callous to be on my feed.

[Hol’ up! - pronouns of beer / please @Alberta_Kurgan]

@TheHookham @bmasonNDP Typical dipper though, right? Gotta keep up with the strathcona squawker.

I mean how dare working class people book a holiday and how dare Mother Nature cause chaos.

Not every homeless person is there through consequences of choices. Some made choices to be homeless.

And thousands of hungry Canadians are stranded on our streets in sub-zero conditions because they have no housing. Which is the more compelling story, CBC?

[CBC News @CBCNews]

Hundreds of Sunwing's Canadian travellers continue to be stuck out of country. Sunwing says it has completed two recovery flights so far this week, with another eight scheduled to depart by Dec. 30. https://t.co/W0jejRKn0E

@CalgaryOccupy I downloaded it and read it from the original link. Thanks!

Last night we watched The Glass Onion on Netflix. Does anyone else think that the Miles Bron character is based on Elon Musk?

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@CalgaryOccupy Not to worry.

Gotta secure the sinecure!

.@jkenney hightailed from Alberta at a lightning speed.

@RobBreakenridge credits Kenney’s “Alberta Is Calling” ads for labour migration stats. Surely, employment availability had nothing to do with it. Let’s try those ads when oil prices drop again.

@BlaineBadiuk @blueskies366 82 of 118 conservative MPs are anti-choice. That’s almost 70%. A poor choice if you’re pro-choice.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@LukaszukAB I’m impressed.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@LukaszukAB Was the gondola involved?

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@HomelessCalgary Undoubtably.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

Exactly. As long as CN and CP own the tracks, passenger rail will be hobbled in Canada. We should consider the European model, where the infrastructure and trains are separated, and railways face competition.

[Rail For Alberta @RailAlberta]

How can VIA Rail plan to do anything when their actions are at the whim of a company that focuses on and prioritizes the movement of freight over people?

Canada needs viable passenger rail service and it won't get there with our current set up.

@KPRobinson0155 You as well.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@KPRobinson0155 Surely you can understand it. It’s your proposition, not mine.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

The Bank of Canada is on the same anti-worker trajectory. Inflation is driven by profit driven price increases, the central bank makes low and middle class Canadians bear the burden.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Federal Reserve is hellbent on continuing to raise interest rates to slow the economy.

This is a huge mistake. It completely puts the burden of inflation on lower-wage workers and the poor.

Meanwhile, corporate executives, Wall Street, and the wealthy get away scot-free.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

@theSonofMan1964 @Kingfis72037414 Insightful.

[Brian Mason @bmasonNDP]

You’re welcome!

[Brian Jean @BrianJeanAB]

As we reach end of construction on the Calgary Cancer Centre, Albertans are one step closer to top-of-the line cancer care services.
This project has employed almost 9,000 workers in construction and the trades, and was made possible by $1.4 billion in investment.

@SteveRickettsSP @Frazzling We were in the ground, so it would have been tough, but yes.
