I have a passion for how technology is going to disrupt and transform our world. Being in the mountains is the best place for me to reflect on those changes.

@senatorbabet If all taxes are theft, then you shouldn't use the healthcare system, or the police or have your garbage picked up or the fire dept or electricity or drinkable water or the school system or roads for that matter. All of those are paid for by taxes.

@peteremcc Way to try to do false equivalency and whataboutism. Neither the coal petition nor the ATA petition infringe on first nation's rights.

@TroyMontana18 @Landonforward14 And where do you get your 10% figure from?

[Trevor Tombe @trevortombe]

Looks like Budget 2026 directly violates the fiscal framework (so will be abandoned in the implementation act?). Section 11.2(3) of https://t.co/7jPiwfumdY would limit this year's projected deficit to ~$4.9B (I estimate). Instead, Budget 2026 deficit is $9.4B. #ableg

@peteremcc @DrSautner @FreeAlbertaRob @UCP Private schools do get public funding to the tune of about 70% per student, last I checked, compared to public school student. How do I know? My kid went to a private school.

@albertaseparate Why don't we have a sovereign fund similar to Norway? Because Cons have been in power for 50yrs. Why is our healthcare and education broken? Because Cons have been in power for 50yrs. This shows that the Cons' track record is not that great either.

@FreeAlbertaRob Funny how things are Nenshi's fault when they go wrong, but thanks to council when things go right. The thing about a weak mayor system is that it is never truly his fault, but instead his and council's, but why let details get in the way of some good gaslighting.

@CANADIANGEM17 @ShaneWenzel Then you should angry at Conservatives because the current equalization formula was developed under Stephen Harper, by none other than Jason Kenney.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@GlobalCalgary So who should be the gatekeepers on the constitution then? Isn't the constitution the law of the land and aren't the courts the branch supposed to enforce the law? I mean, am I crazy or am I missing something here?

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@ShaneWenzel Have you actually looked at how Norway built that fund and the conditions they apply to resource extraction?

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@elonmusk Tell me you don't understand the way elections work without tell me you don't understand the way elections work. Either that or this is purely rage farming.

@erik_thorvalds Next time you need a bailout because of drought, rain or whatever, then you should only use revenue coming from rural taxes. Let's see how big the bailout is.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@ShaneWenzel Are you really using a country that has just received a $40 billion from the US govt as an example of what success is? No thank you!!!

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@JeffreyRWRath @ABDanielleSmith It is going to be sooooo awesome when 75% of Albertans answer a resounding no to your question. Can't wait.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@ikwilson It is not "extortion" as you call it. It is called collective bargaining and it is a fully legally recognized process.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@DonBraid And yet, you supported her campaign, so if you are not happy with it, then maybe next time, instead of vilifying the NDP, you will realize that the UCP is not the PC.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@DonBraid Oooooohhh.... Poor Big Dan being bullied. Poor thing. Maybe he can now feel what his friend Dani is doing to trans and vulnerable people.

@KirkLubimov Just because someone is aligned with your political views doesn't make them a quality councillor.

[Bertrand Sirodot @dbblackdiamond]

@DanWMcLean @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @TerryWong4Ward7 @chabot4ward10 Why haven't you put together notices of motion along those lines over the last 4 yrs or is it the now suddenly you realize what needs to be done. Talk is cheap and your actions don't match your words.
