As my dad was in a hospital bed in Ontario, in what turned out to be the final weeks of his life, he made sure to tell me how much he disliked Danielle Smith. He thought it was stupid and appalling that she wasn’t standing alongside the other premiers, united against Trump’s 51st state musings.

Since Danielle Smith continues to say that whatever the judge ruled was anti-democratic: open.substack.com/pub/andrewng... #ableg #abpoli

I’ve been saying… and writing about all this.

The UCP thinks the issue is the personal data and that not knowing it might have been illegally obtained will get them out of trouble. NO, IT’S TWO OF YOUR HIGH RANKING STAFF ATTENDING A SEPARATIST ORGANIZING MEETING THAT IS THE ISSUE! #abpoli #ableg

Today in Executive Committee, taxpayers will be spending $6,084.17/hr to entertain Councillor Johnston's Notice of Motion to reintroduce single use water bottles back to council chambers. #yyc #yyccc

Has this been said yet? Flair Airlines’s baggage sized thing is ridiculous. People are shoving backpacks in it to make it fit when they’re clearly not oversized to any reasonable person.

Amazing piece by former councillor, Courtney Walcott. Referendums are mostly not democratic at all: "First, you set the agenda. Second, you shape the questions to ensure you get the answer you want. Third, you control the spread of information." #abpoli #ableg livewirecalgary.com/2026/04/27/w...

Does the following sentence describe China or Alberta? Civil society being outside of the government’s control (think NGOs, unions, personal social networks) is a threat to their power and so they must be quashed, silenced, or tamed so that it benefits them. Why not both? #ableg #abpoli

An excerpt from “Freedom: How We Lose It and How We Fight Back” by Nathan Law. Replace Hong Kong with Alberta and the paragraph still works. #abpoli #ableg

Governments that have to pick their voters to remain in power are not legitimate governments worthy of being called democratic. Politicians choosing their voters is about as undemocratic as it gets.

I don’t care if it will cause a constitutional crisis. The lieutenant governor should not give this legislation royal assent. It blatantly undermines our democracy and violates our right to free and fair elections. #ableg #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Legislated democratic backsliding. I don’t know about you but I call this corruption. #abpoli #ableg www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I’m writing on Substack! Making democracy mean something to Canadians, just based on some of the things I picked up through my life and career. Read and subscribe here: andrewngyyc.substack.com

Not this again, Calgary. To the city councillors and UCP cabinet ministers that go back to this well over and over again: stop lying to people. There is no war on cars and you know it. #yyc #yyccc #abpoli #ableg

I think we can all agree we could learn some more practical stuff in high school. This is made very obvious by our glorious premier when she says dumb things like appointing judges who are more govt friendly. That’s not how it works, Danielle! #ableg #abpoli andrewng.media/2026/02/13/c...

It’s bad enough that Danielle Smith’s referendum BS will divide non-immigrants and immigrants. The part I hate more is how it’ll inevitably pit immigrants who did it “the right way” against those who are doing it “the wrong way”. Disgusting leadership by the Government of Alberta. #abpoli #ableg

Hey it’s me, a racialized person born in Alberta to an immigrant parent, with trans and queer friends, saying that the UCP does not get to determine who belongs here. All of us, and the Albertans yet to come, deserve to be here. And we must stand with Indigenous people to honour treaty promises.

The Alberta government spent $70 million to get medicine that couldn’t be used, couldn’t be given away, and then was ultimately destroyed which cost $718,000. It also cost $478,000 to store. Tell me again how the UCP is the party of fiscal responsibility? Vote them out!! #abpoli #ableg

With Oscar noms coming out today I have to say, One Battle After Another is so overrated.

It was weird to send this out the weekend before Hanukkah begins, two weeks away from Christmas. The break hasn’t started yet either. Like what was the point of this? #abpoli #ableg

Geneviève Bergeron, 21 Hélène Colgan, 23 Nathalie Croteau, 23 Barbara Daigneault, 22 Anne-Marie Edward, 21 Maud Haviernick, 29 Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, 31 Maryse Laganière, 25 Maryse Leclair, 23 Anne-Marie Lemay, 22 Sonia Pelletier, 28 Michèle Richard, 21 Annie St-Arneault, 23 Annie Turcotte, 20

This line sums up Danielle Smith and the UCP quite neatly: “The judge called the move to change the legislation antithetical to the rule of law and democracy.” #abpoli #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I hear people say they’re a fiscal conservative all the time but I don’t think they really are. There’s no time get into it while doorknocking, especially since I’m not a candidate myself. So I’ve gathered my thoughts and put it down in writing. #yyc #abpoli #ableg andrewng.media/2025/12/05/f...

"tHe HOusINg StRaTeGY dOeSn'T wORk!" #yyc #yyccc

Jordan Peterson is a loser who doesn’t deserve to have anything named after him. Makes this absolutely fitting for this clown show of a government. #abpoli

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

How high are the stakes really? The UCP has never demonstrated that there’s an incredible amount of children getting gender treatment forced on them by doctors that justifies taking away Charter rights. I don’t think they’ve even shown one doctor doing that. It’s pure fearmongering. #ableg #abpoli

Did I raise the specter of white supremacy in writing this? Sure did! Dozens of flag-raisings happen annually and nobody bats an eye. But when the Palestinian community finally gets its turn, everybody loses their minds. #yyc andrewng.media/2025/11/15/f...

I wrote much of this the morning after election day, after I spent four hours scrutineering at the Elections Calgary counting centre. Ten days later, I can officially say the entire election process was unnecessarily messy and needs a lot of fixing. #yyc #abpoli #ableg andrewng.media/2025/10/31/e...

A couple weeks ago, I had a discussion with some gentlemen who were upset about the mayor "ramming through" blanket rezoning in Calgary against their wishes. I wonder how they feel about the UCP ramming through a back to work order and new contract on teachers. #yyc #ableg #abpoli

What will become available first: An appointment for a flu shot or an appointment to change my tires at Costco? #yyc #abpoli

All the UCP’s changes to municipal elections made the election worse. It was actually awful. The counting centre was chaotic despite all the best efforts of the workers. It took 4 hours to count only the mayor’s advance votes. By the same time in 2021, we knew the full council results. #yyc #yyccc

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

- Low turnout - Vote-splitting - Feeling like votes are being wasted - Candidates winning with barely 30% of the votes These issues are plaguing the current municipal election in Calgary and we could address them by making the switch to ranked ballots. #yyc #yyccc andrewng.media/2025/10/12/c...

I was checking into a candidate forum this past week and the person at the table asked if I'm Andrew Ng, the tech guy with two million followers. Alas I am not. Still worth the follow though, especially if you're in #Calgary and #Alberta! #yyc

Covering the disability community die in at McDougall Centre this afternoon, and one of the harrowing stories is from an AISH recipient who was offered a MAID form to die rather than being offered provincial emergency housing transition support.

An attack on one group’s human rights is an attack on all of our human rights. What the UCP has done with their anti-trans bills is gross for trans people, young girls, their families, their teachers and their coaches. It disgusts me to no end and all Albertans should feel the same. #ableg #abpoli

The NDP will never appeal to the people who like these policies and they should quit trying. Those people will just always vote for the UCP. And the rest of us can smell cowardice from 100 km away.

Meanwhile my daughter just reported they converted half the library into more classrooms because the school is bursting at the seams. #ableg

I suspect they discovered that many conservative voters also disagree with book bans. They also realized that school divisions were not going to interpret "sexual content" to mean only 2SLGBTQ+ content. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Notably, all the examples of "explicit sexual content" the government provided were from 2SLGBTQ+ books. This suggests that their intent was to ban this content specifically and that they expected school divisions to apply the order only to certain kinds of books.

How has the NDP not just come out and said “We’ll repeal the anti-trans bills, we won’t tell schools what books they can’t have in their libraries, and we’ll let kids figure out their path forward in whatever way they feel is safest for themselves. We’ll support them and their families.” ?? #abpoli

I’m quite amused that EPSB gave the UCP the🖕and now they’re backtracking. Incompetent government. #abpoli #ableg

It's just Denny's. Calm down. #yyc

New blog post! The closing of the Eau Claire YMCA was kind of my political awakening and I really haven't gotten over it. It's where I found a community when I first moved to Calgary. Now it represents a major flaw in our society. #yyc #yyccc andrewngmedia.wordpress.com/2025/08/25/t...

Well, this answers the question of whether I should write on Substack.

Political interference on an independent body of the Legislature. It's corruption. Tell a conservative friend. #abpoli #ableg

"When asked if there was anything the premier would do beyond condemn the reported behaviour, Smith said 'It’s none of my business.'" Sorry, but if protecting freedom of the press isn't your "business" as premier, you have no business being premier. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/alb...

I was told by a city councillor and some city officials that the closing of the Eau Claire YMCA and the Beltine rec centre would be okay because MNP is nearby. Now MNP is going to charge for parking, all while being a massive facility that’s always packed. Sorry but it’s not a good solution. #yyc
