Danielle Smith from 2022 would agree with @jeromyyyc.bsky.social that Calgary isn't getting a fair deal.

"If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities..."

She was saying many things back then to get elected.

Sad to see this headline by the CBC.
Cutting funding for the most vulnerable, rather than raising taxes for the wealthy and royalties for #O&G, while spending millions on referendums nobody wants, is a choice not a logical consequence.

Part 1 of Angels Cafe Facebook post: "Update. As we completed the gutting of our special little Angels building on Friday and the dismantling of our beautiful deck this weekend, we wanted to reach out to THANK EVERYONE that showed up to get the impossible complete. WE ARE SO BLESSED to have many beautiful friends. Over 20 showed up yesterday. Some have shown up daily to help our amazing team . We are so happy that the weather has warmed up. There are too many to name, but you know who you are. 🫶🫶🫶🫶 In a turn of events, late Friday afternoon, we had received a call from the city and there has been a change of direction. Originally it was cash for keys offer, then just go away or pay. They have decided to remove and store our building, then return it to us in the next 2-3 years. They also given us the last 5 years back. We are still working to see what else is possible, as the expense has been tremendously high and to rebuild will be the same. This a big win for our Angel’s cafe and our community. Your heartfelt letters and voices were heard. To our political allies that helped and Mike Jamison/Roy Beyer..."

Part 2 of Angel's Cafe Facebook post: "...ward 12, thank you for having the back of our communities. I wish our own ward councillor and mayor would have reached out but not a peep, very disappointing. We will be building anew with the help of the Irvine family out at the Crossfield at Irvine Tack and Western Wear. We know it’s a travel but when we are ready in the near future to do what Angel’s is best known for, I hope you will join us. Once again we rise above the HATE with LOVE. This is how we change our world. WE SO LOVE YOU ALL. You have showed our team at the deepest levels, what it means to live in the love of our community. Thank you, thank you thank you from the depths of all that we are….. To my Rockstar team, Frankie, Jimmy, Alex and husband Dale. You are the best I could ever wish for as well as our long time friends that work alongside us. Special thank you to JOHN GARDEN who has stepped up as our project manager in the back ground and thank you to our Lawyer Jordan who helped us sooo much. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 WE WILL BE BACK and have two amazing locations. The world will look very different in 2-3 years.

@djkelly.ca can you explain what the cost is to taxpayers when they say their building is being stored and they get 5 years back ?

Calgary Herald article about Caylan Ford suing for defamation. "Harrison said Ford, then 32, was just beginning what she hoped would be a lengthy political career..."

THIS is the entitlement that screws democracy.

NO ONE should be a career politician.

Flattened, they store nicely behind bookshelves

Seems kids are brave enough to build it, but sadly not dress it up.

Maybe they had music lessons after school, which also makes me happy 😊

No supervised consumption sites?
Then every alley, park, and bathroom becomes one!

It's just that simple.

Carney’s foreign minister Anand, who co-signed his statement on Iran, is a law professor.
They knew attacking Iran was illegal, knew Hague-level war crimes were coming.
They measure their political safety from Canadian Islamophobia, just like JT/Joly did with Gaza.

#ICYMI #RIP Billboard Canada tribute to dearly departed Randi Fratkin—such a beautiful person and much-loved member of our Canadian #folkmusic community. Gone way too soon. We will miss her tremendously. My heartfelt condolences to her loved ones. ca.billboard.com/fyi/obituari...

This morning, kids at bus stop built a snowman on the lawn.

Left a bag of buttons, a carrot, black wig, baseball cap and twig branches in a plastic bag with a note saying "Decorate! HAVE FUN!"

Will follow up with pics of the results after school lets out :)

Ben Mulroney accidentally shares video with fake footage of him being a respected media figure

How is it MOST Albertans, regardless of political stripe, never thought of this point? 👍

That's a good fact that is bad for both new countries.

Question for my councilor @djkelly.ca and all councilors with @calgary.ca.

What's it cost city taxpayers for the city to store the Angel's Cafe building over the next 2-3 years, and why isn't that opportunity afforded to ALL businesses who are affected by infrastructure repairs?

I can't be excited about protest action happening 3 months from now.

This might be why conservatives win in Alberta. Progressives just don't react fast enough.

It's why supporting them by sharing links to their stories is supporting misinformation.

No decent reporters would be working there.
No decent person would share NYT links.

Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game. The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran

NEW FROM ME:

While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran

I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott warned that the state would respond aggressively to anyone trying to “use the current conflict in the Middle East to threaten Texas”.
“We will not be intimidated, & we will not be terrorised,” he said in a statement."

... only pregnant women can be terrorized in Texas.

Working people aren’t asking for bombs.
They’re asking for doctors, decent pay, and rent they can actually afford!

Danielle Smith called for the feds to send more people to Alberta.

She invited people from across Canada to come & paid them $5000 each.

Now she wants to blame immigrants for her failure to plan, wild spending & attacks on public services.

But the only one to blame is Danielle Smith. #abpoli

10 days away.. 5 of it in #Oklahoma #Tulsa.. What a great place.. But back to the grind, and what a mess AHS/Primary Care Alberta/Acute Care Alberta is.. Here's your Weekly round up of.. Do we know who's open anymore? /1

Power.

I wish the city had done a similar survey when it came to funding a billionaire’s arena.

Anita Anand, Frontburner:

“We continue to adhere to our long-held values: international law…
Look at Iran, look at Gaza, look at Cuba, look at Haiti… our foreign policy relating to human rights & humanitarian issues has been forward leaning…”

24h later, her statement was in service to war crimes.

Meet the Historic Alberta Couple Who Fought for Press Freedom | The Tyee Their grandson wrote a book and made a film about their impactful work.

The ghost of separation has haunted the imagination of Albertans since the province joined Confederation in 1905.

To understand the Alberta’s history, is to understand Albertans today.

In Peggy & Balmer, Tom Radford bares the roots of Alberta’s underdog ethos, as experienced by his grandparents.

Illegally, of course.

Right, and I can't seem to forget that we're paying for an arena for a billionaire so his millionaires can play a sport they can't seem to win a championship in.

The rich should buy what they need instead of the poor buying it for them.

51 young girls whose affairs you no longer have to manage, because they're dead.

A legacy you own for the rest of your life.

Condemnation is the correct response.

Do you have the same response @coreyhogan.ca?
