What’s your view on whether this or Venezuela are going to affect China’s energy appetite? You would think they saw these moves coming. Will they look for supply elsewhere?

Green Line Downtown Segment: Functional Planning Study We’re developing a plan for the Downtown Segment of Green Line, building on the Province of Alberta's plan and alignment.

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

Canada's former foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy: "We invoke international law and the 'rules based order' when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it's the Americans — whose gov't 60% of Canadians see as a threat"

Tamarind is open again?

They just effectively increased taxes on any business that owns or rents office, retail or commercial space. The city has provided an analysis on property tax increase for a residential home, but not yet for commercial.

Can’t wait for the version of this for non residential. With the reversal of the tax shift and then an even bigger increase of ed tax, that’s going to result in rent increases for small businesses.

And much of it is capital intensive and even with huge royalty breaks, has slightly lower economic returns than opportunities in the US. Though, as they exhaust their top tier inventory, Alberta’s are next up in the stack.

The BC NDP are trying to follow the same route but with mining and LNG. #bcpoli

"Inaccurate data": How Recovery Alberta officials facilitated consumption site closures (Pt 2) Selective data sharing by some of Alberta's top health officials may backstop plausible deniability for government negligence in closing sites – with impacts all the way to Ontario.

"Alberta government appears to be [..] 'finding reasons to accuse sites of not being utilized enough, to create justification for closing them.'"

Safe consumption "site visitors have been under-counted by as much as three-quarters."

It's missing the crucial third line where AI deflates like a sad balloon farting around the room, and humanity kicks it over like it's naught but a disobedient Roomba. And it joins the junk pile with NFTs and crypto and all the other anti-human tech-bro bullshit.

Victim mentality writ large …in pen!!!!

Your friendly reminder that the solution to the majority of bike/pedestrian safety concerns is not another workshop, seminar, public outreach but a DESIGNATED INFRASTRUCTURE.

Whoa @calgary.ca. Eight days ago, a driver struck and killed a toddler in a stroller in a marked crosswalk. The next day, the driver of a tractor trailer hit and killed a senior in a marked crosswalk. Those deaths come after a record 15 pedestrians were killed in 2025.
And this is your message?! 😡😢

Hearing the “Alberta party” name is available (just jokes, the Tories still have it)
