NDP leader Naheed Nenshi pulled few punches today…

Not only did he condemn Smith’s claim Peter Lougheed would support her attack on human rights…

He called her and the entire UCP caucus cowards.

A lot of questions today about how Danielle Smith -- the "libertarian" and "conservative" -- could use closure & the notwithstanding clause to remove Albertans' Charter rights.

The answer: she's neither libertarian nor conservative.

Is the province or her party, though? We'll soon find out.+

I'm the next few days, it would be a mistake to:
❌️ limit the resistance to the teachers' demands or saving public education
❌️ make labour/workers/unions the only faces of opposition

The UCP's pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is much broader than one strike or one set of rights.

Meanwhile, in Manitoba…

At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is…

And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts.

A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 27, 2024 which reads: The huge win for everyone on all sides, left, right and centre, is an election where everyone believes the results are credible. We used to do this effortlessly. Vote on Election Day with proper ID. Vote with paper ballots. Votes counted by citizens with scrutineers.

A social media post by David Staples, columnist with the Edmonton Journal Post Media Newspaper, posted on October 20, 2025 which reads: Unbelievably stupid process to vote in Edmonton. Do they have no voter list anymore? Where they quickly check your name, ID and give you a ballot? Long line up to fill out paper with name/address, line up again so someone can check paperwork. Idiotic slow, stupid process.

A snippet from a news article stating "The process for voting is different this year, which can impact the time it takes to vote. All electors are legislatively required to complete a Statement of Eligibility Form (Form 13) at the voting station. This form is a declaration by an elector that they meet the required legislated criteria to receive and cast ballots. Also, some electors will need to be added to the permanent electors register before receiving their ballots. This can take time. We ask Edmontonians to plan ahead and please have patience.

Nobody tell David Staples this is all because of the changes me and my UCP have made to how municipal elections are held in Alberta.

Let's see if he can use his "journalism" skills to figure it out on his own!🤭

The Catalpa tree I gave my neighbour is flowering for the first time!

In the busiest of weeks, I saw something beautiful! A tiny oak tree growing up from the artificial turf at work. Proof that no matter what may try and stifle nature and beauty, it always emerges.

I hope your beauty can thrive folks. ✌🏻🫶🏻

Better option - we tax billionaires into a living wage and fund a society that gives everyone the same opportunities they were afforded.

The John Janzen is temporarily closed, so I've been hosting their beehive in our backyard. The colony outgrew their living arrangement, so here’s a time-lapse of me moving them into their observation hive.

Hopefully, we can contain it, but it’s a matter of time.

Might be time for a visit

If you're interested in being part of a community effort to identify and prevent the spread of diseases affecting YEG's tree canopy, send me a DM, and I'll send you an invitation link.

Hey, #YEG Alberta Avenue Folks,

Dutch Elm Disease has arrived in the neighbourhood. Be on lookout for crispy leaves in the elm canopy, and please report any suspect trees to 311.
