The housing affordability crisis doesn’t stop at the poverty line. It compresses the middle class and undermines long-term economic stability. Can this situation in Canada be changed? Can we learn from other regions? The answer to both questions is a resounding YES!

Not just any syndicate but a transnational, global one. These are @sarahkendzior.bsky.social words. She’s been writing, speaking, and addressing this subject for over a decade.

Worldwide we're seeing those involved with Epstein step down or getting arrested (The prince now known as Andrew was arrested earlier today). The US, still nothing. Republicans can fuck off with their nearly always unfounded accusations of others being pedophiles when the don't deal with their own

I am writing to advise that Minister Nicolaides, his staff, and the Education and Childcare Department will not be accepting questions, interview requests, or requests for comment from CityNews Calgary or any affiliated outlets or reporters, nor will they be sent invitations to embargoed technical briefings until a formal apology is issued to Minister Nicolaides for the politicized reporting of his hike of Mount Kilimanjaro, undertaken in memory of his late sister. As stated in my earlier response to CityNews, politicizing a deeply personal act of remembrance was profoundly disrespectful. Despite the purpose of the trip being clearly explained, your reporter showed a clear disregard for context, sensitivity, and professional responsibility in pursuing this line of questioning. The attempt to manufacture a narrative about provincial flags and separatism is not only baseless but also demonstrates a reckless disregard for the truth. If there were a genuine interest in the Minister's stance on the unity of Canada, a direct question would have been the appropriate and professional course of action. Your reporter was offered that opportunity but instead chose to prioritize sensationalism over facts. That was a deliberate editorial choice. This type of reporting is beneath the standards Albertans expect. If CityNews wishes to restore communication with the Ministry of Education and Childcare, the following conditions must be met:
1) The story is removed from publication. 2) A formal apology is issued by both the reporter and the editor of CityNews Calgary.
Until this conduct is fully acknowledged and addressed, CityNews has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted to engage with this office in a manner that is ethical, responsible, or respectful. Sincerely, Garrett Koehler Senior Press Secretary Ministry of Education and Childcare
Alberta's Ministry of Education says it is blacklisting CityNews unless it agrees to the UCP government's demand to unpublish a news article and publicly apologize to them

I keep coming back to @sarahkendzior.bsky.social writing "It's a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government" in "They Knew", and realizing that even if it applies more to some, it applies some to all. We need a reckoning; we've been led by criminals for basically my whole life.

My books were all bestsellers. People read them. Officials didn't ACT because they were protecting a criminal syndicate of pedophiles.
I know it's more comforting to believe that "no one knew" but most people knew: the general public and the perpetrators and the officials protecting the latter.

Are Americans just lazy and don't care? We have the most corrupt, incompetent, criminal president in history. Yet, it seems like people aren't outraged about it.

And per @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social last night on The Last Word:
“As of tonight, the most powerful force we have in this country to defeat the most powerful crime syndicate in history remain the voters of the United States of America.”

More American crime
Over the past decade, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (Ice) has amassed millions of data points that it uses to identify and track its targets – from social media posts to location history and, most recently, tax information. And there’s been one, multibillion-dollar tech company particularly instrumental in enabling Ice to put all that data to work: Palantir, the data analytics firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, the rightwing mega-donor and tech investor.

Quoted statements authored by Professor Condon are indisputable. Mr. Montgomery explains some of the reasons that situation exists, but it’s hard for me to feel optimistic that ordinary people can do much beyond accepting the way things are

I've been reading two books: Broken City by Patrick Condon, and Happy City by Charles Montgomery. Both are compelling and deeply researched, and each offers practical, evidence-based ways to improve urban life.
