Disappointed in Council. Our fellow Calgarians need support & this facility today. Delaying this project was the wrong choice

Walcott: Council leaves chronically homeless, high-complexity Calgarians on the street for a few more years https://t.co/azuU8PLnJX via @livewirecalgary

@ABDossier @Landonforward14 It's more transparency - this is just allowing them to speak during the public hearing for the budget - which is in public, not behind closed doors.

Thank you @nenshi 💖

Naheed Nenshi on the immigration questions: "I am happy to have a conversation on numbers. I am not happy to have a conversation on the dignity of newcomers, and I'm not happy to have people voting on whether other people should have human rights."

I saw this today from Caitlyn, kind of shows you how the wordings of those 9 questions were framed in one way…

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.

I wonder why the privatization of Healthcare and Education isn't on the referendum.

Or data centers, or provincial police, or time changes etc. etc..etc.

Every time I say “housing is a human right,” someone screams, “I don't want my taxes paying for someone else's housing!”

I hate to break it to you, but your taxes are already paying for homelessness.

Emergency shelters, hospitals, policing, courts, jails, and crisis services.

We're spending billions managing the consequences of people having nowhere to live.

So here's my question:

If you're so concerned about your tax dollars, why are you more comfortable paying to manage homelessness than investing in ending it?
Refusing to fund housing doesn't mean you stop paying, it means you keep paying for the crisis.

You can't call yourself fiscally responsible while ignoring the cost of doing nothing.

Danielle Smith has become the first Alberta premier in almost 90 years to face a citizen-led effort to remove her from her legislative seat.

While Trump attacks Canada and Trudeau, Canadian water-bomber planes are right now in Los Angeles helping fight the devastating fires. Canada is our friend, ally and partner.

Hey Alberta. U like being on the hook for billion$ for orphan wells? You're gonna LOVE selenium contaminated rivers and ground water from coal mines. Same AB regulator oversees both. 100% taxpayers'll be paying 4 massive cleanup when the foreign mining cos go home. Old playbook.

Alberta is on fire.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

Albertans are dying without cancer treatment.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

Classroom are crowded, and teachers are exhausted.

But hey, we have a budget surplus.

This is winning in #Alberta.

Bexte managed to make me like Trudeau for 2 minutes.

Something I didn’t think was possible.

If we want politicians to have family lives and be dedicated to their children, it means leaving them alone during their private time.

Don’t harass like here.

@calgarytransit We've had a few northbound Tuscany trains come by us at 1st St SW, but no Westbound 69 St trains. The screen says "times temporarily unavailable". Could you let me know when the next train is coming?

If you say "I am a math teacher" three times in front of a mirror, someone will appear and tell you how much they hated math in school.

If you want to know what the actual social studies education experts think of the new curriculum, take a read here https://t.co/docCCnP9kT. And then take a look at the new curriculum and submit your feedback to our government https://t.co/TcKVrrz9Lz (tell em how you really feel)

@TheBreakdownAB This isn't hitting the way you thought it would.

Today, the UCP cancelled all new renewables investment, putting the electricity market in to chaos.

They’ve put a moratorium on renewables. That’s:
❌ 91 projects in limbo
❌30,000 jobs at risk
❌$25 billion in investment looking elsewhere.
❌Green power for 5 million homes
