They're really stretching for the ragebait

Blatant symbolism that the UCP is permitting strychnine to be used to poison and kill animals in Alberta. Poisoning gophers will also poison their natural predators. #deathcult

University-Rosedale clinches 172.

"Many at the public hearings on blanket rezoning spoke in support of more density — as long as it happened somewhere other than their own neighbourhood.This is frankly an impossible request for the city to fulfil, b/c if the policy only apply somewhere else, it will effectively be applied nowhere."

Canadians are saving hundreds of dollars every month by electrifying the homes they live in and the cars they drive. But clean energy tech offers more than cost savings: they make our homes more comfortable and the air we breathe in safer. Explore the full benefits of clean tech 👇 buff.ly/3ivU1j3

UPDATE: The AER has just announced that 4031 wells from Long Run Exploration have been turned over to the Orphan Well Association, almost doubling the current orphan inventory.

Councillors who ignored (yet again) the advice of professional planners, engineers and economists from admin. -abdicated their responsibility to make the best decisions for the majority of Calgarians. The number of people who had time to present is irrelevant. livewirecalgary.com/2026/04/09/p...

This is one of the worst planning decisions I’ve ever seen a Canadian city do. This was “the Playbook” to a tee, weaponizing the words “blanket zoning.” Embarrassing for Calgary Council. The Mayor then adds insult to staff & years of good faith work by claiming it “broke the public’s trust.” Awful.

Fascinating and disturbing analysis of the debate around housing here in Calgary. Those screaming the loudest against multi-family housing redevelopments don't have any of those developments happening in their community at all. Stunning lack of leadership IMO. livewirecalgary.com/2026/04/09/p...

Trump's Pentagon, unable to get the Pope on board with the Iran war, summoned his ambassador Cardinal and threatened him with the Avignon Papacy, the medieval period when France used military force to control the Vatican. I mean... normal diplomatic behavior. Nothing to see here.🙄

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

The Strait of Hormuz will open (under supervision by Iran) and the terms of Obama’s treaty will be reinstated. And it only cost $42 billion and 13 American lives. Now you know how to bankrupt a casino.

Yes, this. Uncomfortable and unsightly does not equal unsafe. Quote: "When bourgeois eyes watch the street, however, they often see danger in poverty."

Access to an international workforce is essential for Alberta businesses in a wide range of sectors—from food & construction, to tech & innovation. But in pandering to an increasingly xenophobic, racist base, Danielle Smith seems open to throwing employers under the bus. Read more in my latest👇

Here are two must-read stories for Albertans. @ximenaka.bsky.social shows Premier Danielle Smith's referendum on immigration isn't based on evidence. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... 1

The math doesn't lie. Danielle Smith spent $17 million on "Alberta is Calling" to recruit new residents. But spent $0 on the infrastructure to support them. Now that the bills are due and the services are failing, she’s pointing the finger at the very people she invited. #ableg #canpoli #abpoli

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

New episode! With questions about whether or not the UCP are going to fix the next provincial election with gerrymandering, we sat down with Political Scientist Dr Duane Bratt (@duanebratt.bsky.social) to get a sense of what's going on and what's at stake! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

1. Here’s a thread on #NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) and the challenges of change in cities: First off, although it might feel that way, NIMBY isn’t unique to your city, and it’s (probably) not worse in your city than anywhere else. It’s also not surprising, since it’s largely about human nature.

Alberta separatism isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Populist governments are known for flooding the zone with rhetoric & legislation to distract and wear down their opponents. It's important to have a good triage system. Me? I measure the impact on vulnerable people against the likelihood that their measures will actually take effect.

classic calgary: relitigates re-zoning (which has been working to get more houses built) for more than a week then without blinking starts discussing annexing more land to build more far flung suburbs
