This is the primary problem with municipal politics. Many of them won't vote. But you can bet every single family homeowner looking to reverse the city's successful efforts at improving housing affordability and choice will be. #yyccc

Calgary mayoral candidates say province overstepping with municipal affairs mandate letter Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has sparked controversy among Calgary’s mayoral hopefuls after issuing a mandate letter.

“Brian Thiessen, running under The Calgary Party banner, was particularly blunt in his response.”

“”The premier, if she wants to resign her seat and run for mayor of Calgary, then she should do that,” he said, accusing the provincial government of interfering in municipal affairs.“

For three straight years now, Alberta has been the most popular destination, on net, for Canadian residents moving within the country.

And for nearly four straight years, Ontario has seen the most Canadian residents leave.

Really sad. This stretch of path can be beautiful, but it bears the brunt of Calgary's homeless/drug problem. I witness troubling stuff here daily and drug use under this bridge is constant.

Now that Instagram reels are teaching me the real words, I'm learning I was singing the wrong lyrics for about 80% of it.

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

Trump should be reassuring the country at this time. Instead he is sowing fear The president has shown no interest in uniting the US, nor in defending free speech – he is weaponizing this time for his gain

I am an absolute defender of all free speech. Unless that free speech involves quoting a popular right-winger who died recently.

Fascinating finding on the effect of banning smartphones in the class. The bottom half of the class improved, but students in the top quartile did slightly worse than the control group (who kept their phones).

OK, not total crickets - the #ableg transportation minister told me "cycling is a municipal issue" (ironic now that they are trying to get involved in city bike lanes) and #yyccc told me the Ring Road was a provincial project. So frustrating. #yycbike

Cyclist struck in southwest Calgary dies A cyclist who was struck by a vehicle Friday in southwest Calgary has died.

During the planning for the SW Ring Road, I wrote to both #ableg and #yyccc about cycling infrastructure and safety. The ring road cut off many popular routes. I got crickets in response. This was preventable. #yycbike www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Obviously UCP policy on bike lanes is a step backwards. But places like 1st street on my commute - no bike lanes but bikes routinely out number cars and just "take the lane" - make me wonder if it will really be worse for bikes or cars. #yyccc #ableg #yycbike

Braid: Trudeau's long gone but look who's virtue signalling now Alberta Premier Danielle Smith flip Trudeau's virtue signalling and does her own, on school library book bans and trans kids in sports.

Wow, Don Braid is not mincing words. "School boards will now require proof that a kid was female at birth. Critics call this a gross invasion of privacy. More broadly, social laws that encourage people to formally rat on each other can have ugly consequences. They’re a prime tool of dictatorships."

With the UCP book ban paused, I had to have a serious chat with my kids tonight. Let them know I better not find out they've been sneaking into the school library searching for pornography. #ableg
