No money for teachers? That's because energy executives keep getting their wish. Join us on Nov. 5 in Calgary to learn how Albertans are fighting coal mining in the Rockies and another govt handout to oil and gas companies. Info & RSVP here: www.cleanupyourmess.ca/nov5-calgary... #ABLeg #ABPoli

labour leadership in this province is truly embarrassing. The people are pissed and you're suggesting a committee should be formed about whether or not a general strike is good? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME

there's so many people in this world who've literally never gone through a right wing phase and yet we keep being okay with people who "grew out of theirs". I guess time will tell but I don't trust him to stand up to the UCP or make Calgary a better place for the average person.

A recent-ish example. Like not everything going in this app is happening in the US. Also touch grass plz.

It was supposed to be 600 trucks / day and even that was the bare minimum in a context of mass destruction and starvation.

Considering the UCP made a big fuss about cutting red tape, they’ve sure added a lot of costs, red tape and lineups to the democratic process!

On #BikeLanes the DATA's clear:

βœ… #Climate benefits
βœ… Health benefits
βœ… Downtown vitality
βœ… Great for downtown businesses
βœ… Congestion impact = negligible

Ripping out what's working isn't #CityBuilding, it's the opposite

Heads up everyone. Poll lines are long & likely only getting longer.

The province has made it this way with hand counting of ballots (requiring separate ballots for each race) & changes to the voter registry requiring a form for everyone.

Don't be discouraged! #yyccc #yycelxn

My name is David Barrett and I'm asking for your vote for Ward 7 Councillor.

From the pathways we walk to the water we drink, the Bow River is the heart of our community in Ward 7. It connects us all. On October 20, help protect the river by lending me your vote. #yyccc #yyc

A white bike wheel with flowers on it. Text reads Ghost bike dedication for Phil Goheen. Sunday, October 19 at noon. Meet at 69 st ctrain station.

This weekend we will be placing a Ghost Bike in memory of Phil Goheen.

A Ghost Bike serves as a memorial and as a reminder of a tragedy that took place because of our ongoing normalization of vehicle violence.

Please come out and place a flower with us #yycbike

Pedestrian hit on Centre Street in NE Calgary, left seriously injured One person was taken to hospital in serious, but non-life threatening condition after being hit by a vehicle Tuesday morning.

I wish this individual a speedy recovery. We need to get improvements on centre Street NOW. Centre Street, in it's current form doesn't work well for any user. #yyccc
