NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today… Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta's Auditor General is racing to finish his investigation into healthcare procurement after the UCP govt rejected his proposed contract extension. He's done in April, 2026, and wants his probe wrapped then, too. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Every day's a good day to stop making it worse. What, you haven't breathed enough smoke yet? Still pretending it's always been this bad? You're not even fooling yourself any more... #ClimateChange

Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today: 1) stay in line; your voice matters 2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Get ready - UCP is about to pass a law saying who's allowed to run in elections next time. Only the "serious" need apply. Is this partisan? No answer to that. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #abpol #cdnpoli #ableg #ableg #yycvote #yyc #yyccc

And the banking regulators just greenlit this man’s bank proposal. I suspect someone this obsessed with end times isn’t going to be too focused on making sure his bank doesn’t spark a banking crisis.

Funny how everyone I hear about the big tent from clearly sees themselves in the role of Tent Access Manager

Two possible massive vote suppression features in front of the Calgary municipal election. 1. Voting stations not open until 10am (normally 8am) 2. Potential game 7 for the Blue Jays at maybe 6pm (with polls closing at 8pm)

Did anyone realize that Electione Calgary cut out two whole hours of voting on e-day? 2021, polling station hours were 8am-8pm. This year they don’t open until 10am. Another barrier. #getoutandvote

Be careful what you wish for with a property tax "mill rate" freeze. We look at the want for more services compared with the desire for frozen or cut property taxes. #yyc #calgary #yycvote buff.ly/j0sOXSi

Judge Wyant’s report makes it clear: We need a full public inquiry into #CorruptCare. From buying Turkish Tylenol that nobody needed to contracting out private surgeries to friends of the government, Albertans deserve better. Read the full release: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/ju...

Zohran Mamdani is the ethical power empath the world has been waiting for. MeidasTouch has put together this excellent power clip of the best moments of the NYC mayoral debate between the clear moral leader in the race and the corrupt genocidal moral failures he is running against.

Nearly a decade after Northern Gateway was killed by the courts, Alberta Conservatives like Danielle Smith still haven't bothered to learn the lessons it offered about BC's unique political and legal geography. It's going to cost them — again. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/16/o...

Smith in 2014: The plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate is a politically motivated distraction. Smith in 2025: Here's a plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate.

This is blatant politicizing of Alberta licence plates by Danielle Smith. #ableg #abpoli

Reading this thinking about the nonsense from Poilievre, Smith and some Calgary municipal hopefuls. It is disheartening.

Since everyone seems to be doing personal endorsements these days, here goes. The Calgary municipal election is a week away, on Monday October 20. This is the first one since 2010 that I have not had a super active role. #yyccc #yyc 🧵 1/8

Why is the incumbent spending so much time focusing on Myke? B/c the incumbent knows Myke Atkinson is the person to beat in Ward 7. bsky.app/profile/qu1n...

Want to see a masterclass on what not to do as an incumbent? Not only did Terry Wong mention his main threat, Myke Atkinson, he spent two hours combing through his campaign material on FBLive. Easy to find, but here is the material they went through. #yyc #ward7 www.mykeatkinson.ca/mykedrops/ne...

Hey Calgary. With a week to go before the vote y'all really should give this a listen, if only to make your blood boil. No, really. You should listen to this before voting. #yyccc

Ann Arbor’s weather comes up constantly in discussions about bike lanes, pedestrian infrastructure, open streets, etc. As Not Just Bikes points out, cities with worse weather than us still have good infrastructure. After all, you’re not made of sugar. #A2Council youtu.be/BXDP9WQe0io?...

The #petition has ~230,000 signatures. It needs 294,000 by Oct. 28. I signed & I’m hopeful. The #UCP public sector labour relations crisis, health-care chaos, oil company layoffs, & procurement scandals could also fuel a snap election. Will that be enough for notable change, given her rural base?

“DoorDash intends to send autonomous robots into bike-lanes.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social Here’s what’s frustrating…who cares what they “intend?” It’s up to City Hall what’s allowed in bike-lanes, NOT COMPANIES! Stop acting like tech companies should be able to do whatever they want in cities.

Industrial carbon pricing is hugely important for investment and emissions reductions. But all of that depends on sound design. Design choices in various provincial systems are undermining industrial carbon pricing. climateinstitute.ca/five-choices...

Calgary election PSA. We haven't heard of a single candidate forum in Wards 2, 3, 12, 13 or 14. And three of those have no incumbents. What gives?? WAKEY WAKEY, FOLKS! There's an election in 20 days! Get a candidate debate going already! The Sprawl will even livestream it for you! #yyccc

If they pay public teachers more, it increases the labour market for charter or private school teachers, eroding profit margins.

What surprised me most here is that Elections Calgary plans to shut down its counting centre at 1 a.m. after the polls close Monday, leaving advance ballots for councillor uncounted, and won't resume until 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. One of my working headlines was: NO RUSH! #yyccc

Fun with circular logic: ⚪️Obtaining a birth certificate in Alberta requires photo ID, such as a driver’s licence or passport. 🔵Under this new law, obtaining a driver's license will require a passport or driver's license. 🔴And getting a passport requires a driver's license or birth certificate.

Asteroid 2025 FA22 will safely pass Earth on 18 September 2025 at 07:41 UTC (09:41 CEST). It is between 130 and 290 m across and at its closest point to our planet, it will be just over twice as far away as the Moon. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

I hate that we don't have ranked choice voting for municipal elections in YYC. There are many progressive candidates in Ward 7 and it's very hard to know how to manage it. So far I have only seen this recent poll from Project Calgary - imperfect but something www.projectcalgary.org/ward7poll_se...

But they hired Ben Mulroney instead of a qualified journalist to host their premier political show.

The MP for Regina-Qu'Appelle is directing hate-filled Right Wingers towards a Canadian journalist, calling her twisted for anticipating the retaliation he's now aiming her way. Andrew Scheer needs to be ousted from Parliament and charged with uttering threats. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
