Police can't get into former Calgary mayor @JyotiGondek's seized phone, and she's not giving up the passcode.
Investigators are now asking a court to extend their warrant while they try to crack it, as an RCMP-led probe into alleged municipal corruption, obstruction of justice and fabricating evidence continues. No charges have been laid — Calgary Herald
@ABDanielleSmith Permanent amnesty?… NO!!! … I vote for FULL REVERSAL!, oh wait our vote means nothing, maybe a non binding referendum will make us feel better
Canada's New Social Media Ban is NOT About Your Children | Here's What They're NOT Telling You
Canada just announced the Digital Safety Act — a social media ban for anyone under 16.
Most Canadians think this is about protecting children. It isn't.
To enforce a social media ban, every single Canadian will have to prove their age by attaching government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a digital ID.
And once you're verified on one platform, that verification follows you everywhere — linking every account you own under your real identity.
But it gets worse.
This isn't a standalone policy. This is the missing piece that connects Bill C-9, C-22 and C-8 into a complete surveillance and censorship system.
Bill C-9 defines what you can and cannot say online. Bill C-22 forces platforms to save your data for up to one year. Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut you off the internet entirely.
The digital ID created by this social media ban is what connects all three.
And they're selling it to you as child protection.
Don't be fooled. All these bills are interconnected — and this is the last piece of the puzzle.

City of Calgary chart shows Calgary is now 4th highest for combined average property taxes + utility bills.
$8,191/year.
Only Toronto, Leduc and Edmonton are higher.
That doesn’t line up with the “affordability” or “low taxes.”
#yyccc can’t claim low taxes in race to the top.
@Martyupnorth + Lower our taxes (stop giving away our hard earned money to other countries, indigenous, propaganda, lib friends, etc)
+ Stop forcing woke ideologies down our throats
+ Enough with that reconciliation bullshit
+ Stop over regulating our lives
… and on and on
I used to be a federalist.
I used to believe in Canada.
I love what Canada once was.
On the wall in my office is my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
But the Canada of today is not the Canada I grew up in. It is no longer the nation I stood up for.
Canadians rights have been disregarded. Democracy has become just a byword, not what citizens can expect and aspire to without a fight. Ideology has replaced equality and justice. Families are under attack.
Over the past year I have examined the facts. I stepped back to self examine my own biases. I looked behind the curtain of the Canadian government press releases and media "reporting".
What I found was a broken nation, its heart and soul gone, its character reduced to identity politics and forced unequal wealth redistribution. Scandals. Dishonesty. Empathetic suicide. Self destructive economic policies.
In my recent advocacy for an Alberta referendum to give everyone a voice, I have been slandered, attacked, threatened, and received such vulgar responses from federalists that it is truly shocking and heartbreaking. But seeing how far Canada has fallen, it is not surprising. It validates the point that the Canadian experiment has failed.
Today my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are still on my office wall as a historical record.
Today I support Alberta Independence.
Today I grieve a lost and destroyed Canada.
I miss what Canada once was, but it is time to dust ourselves off, stand up again, and move forward.
On October 19th, vote for a brighter future. Vote for Option 2.
@CSmartarsery Agree with you, very weak arguments for staying and those post-separation issues already exist in one way or another… by separating we can do something about fixing them.
A more meaningful poster would be “how bad Canada wants Alberta - 10 changes”… but there is no intention
@calgaryherald Stop the expensive over regulation, first understand the root cause of the issue
Those stupid school zone cross walk signs in the middle of narrow streets keep on getting damaged and replaced! somebody has a good business going!
@cityofcalgary@DanWMcLean@JeromyYYC
@KybrdWrrr@calgaryherald I am convinced a big part of is over regulation, take it too far and drivers ignore rules while pedestrians get even more confused… same goes for construction zones, if everywhere is a construction zone, drivers tune out and enforcement is impossible
In 2021, 61.7% of Albertans voted to remove equalization from the Constitution. Premier Kenney asked Ottawa and the Premiers to act. They ignored us. Nothing changed. Nothing.
Albertans should understand this: the other nine Oct referendum questions do not create any binding obligation on Ottawa to act. None. They are political statements, not legal leverage.
Only an independence referendum compels Canada to confront Alberta’s unfair treatment.
@AndrewKnack Mr. Caillou … Private investment already feels the uncertainty and over regulation in today’s Canada … if you are expecting things will change by staying you haven’t learned anything
23% of Calgary's treated water gets leaked out.
That's been happening for years as City of Calgary failed to upkeep infrastructure.
No one is fired.
Calgarians got water restrictions & higher taxes for this failure while bureaucrats got raises & bonuses.
Zero accountability.
