@citynewscalgary There are worse uses for the money. In this case the money to pay the workers goes to the workers (less payroll taxes of course). Which puts it in the real economy instead of the financial markets.
@citynewscalgary I don't have much sympathy for migrants illegally crossing the English channel. They have no legitimate refugee claim since they're already leaving from a safe port where they can make such a claim. Of course the predators arranging the boat rides need to be eliminated too.
@citynewscalgary Most of the country hasn't had door to door mail delivery since forever. It won't be any more isolating than it is already in most places.

@citynewscalgary They seem to be working on a rather dumb legal theory which is that a successful petition for a referendum automatically means separation. It doesn't.
@citynewscalgary Crosswalks specifically should *never* be anything other than the standard traffic control markings. Precisely because they *are* traffic control markings. And the flag thing is a camel's nose thing. There are limited flag poles so which groups do you choose as winners?
