@Sheldon4Ward4 @CalgaryRecall @RobWardCGY Well, lookie here, this bozo isn’t even elected yet and is already picking fights.

Bringing that gift of confrontation to council, Sheldon? Lord knows we need more conflict there 🙄

Margaret Atwood takes aim at Alberta’s school library books ban with satirical story https://t.co/nicPLeJr7Q

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.)

John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

Banning books is one of the most repugnant things a government can do.

[Tom @TomInYYC]

@kourtpenner I don’t even live in your ward and I’m going to donate to candidates running against you.

I don’t agree with you and your vision and believe you are unfit for this job.

I respect your presence and commitment but I don’t think you are capable, we need change on council.

@JyotiGondek Hey remember when you told us all it was safe?

[Tom @TomInYYC]

@GlobalCalgary And a great job they did, filing 311 this weekend

[Tom @TomInYYC]

A special shoutout to the fine work of Calgary Roads, who left my back alley (in the former ward of @JyotiGondek and currently @jasmine_mian) with these 5-10 lb chunks of junk all over the place after “maintenance.”

@kourtpenner Well I guess someone has to be. Certainly not the majority of Calgarians, though.

[Tom @TomInYYC]

@tyleryaremchuk @frank_seravalli @DailyFaceoff Don’t even address the classless Gaudreau comment on camera.

Just a couple of cowards.

[Tom @TomInYYC]

@JeromyYYC Oh my god we need you in that Mayor’s chair.

[Tom @TomInYYC]

Why does Kourtney Penner engage in discourse then disable responses?

As an elected official, you’re gunna get trolls, sure, but you also disallow people with their picture and name from responding.

I fear she disables out of a hubris or lack of knowledge to explain/discuss.

[Kourtney Penner @kourtpenner]

This narrative is neither helpful nor bearing of any truth.

Any spending on other projects would not have guaranteed that there would not have been a failure of a line not slated for replacement.

This isn’t a fault of anyone or misplaced priorities. The blame needs to stop.

Hey @mnwild- at the game here in Calgary and this father and son drove in from Yellowknife to watch you guys! Section 226!

[Tom @TomInYYC]

Every parent’s worst nightmare is watching their child struggle to breathe, which I did for a week until today.

I cannot thank the staff of @AHS_media at the Peter Lougheed Centre enough for their passion, their care and their above and beyond humanity.

I am forever grateful.

@kourtpenner Jobs save lives, houses are a neat perk from gainful productive employment

@HKYJersey Large please

@LoubardiasMedia You’re a class act. Thanks for taking 10 minutes out of your day for a young man calling his first ever hockey games at the Mac’s Midget tournament over 10 years ago.

You treated me as an equal, and when I was broadcasting AJHL hockey games, you were my standard.

Thank you.
