Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens. Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth. Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

It’s hard to know what to say about this separation debacle anymore, except that it’s doing untold damage to economic investment and severely damaging Alberta’s relationship with First Nations. And i hate it so much.

What jeromyyyc.bsky.social neglects to tell us is that $200M in higher provincial property taxes will build new schools on the edges of a sprawling Calgary. Yet only 69% of kids attending schools in CBE’s Central district actually live there. Sprawl costs us. #yyccc #ableg

Furthermore, this slide they shared appears to be the same one they shared in 2024, before R-CG was implemented!! #Factsmatter #CREB #yyccc

A group from the Calgary Real Estate Board presented in #yyccc. I'm confused. They said R-CG won't reduce costs, but but shared this example of units dropping from $370K to $254K🤔 Their economist stated R-CG has had no impact 🤯 which begs the question WHY ARE WE WASTING TIME ON THIS?? #housing

TACO times 2, thank goodness. #uspoli

That UCP text was a way to discern who to send a survey about education to. Have fun folks. unitedconservativecaucus.ca/surveys/educ...

Blanket rezoning hearing has begun in Calgary and those opposed have revealed their cards on day 1. It’s not about housing people. It’s about housing cars, aka Parking. PS. Row housing doesn’t have green space between units. That’s what makes it row housing.🤷‍♂️ #Calgary www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Really cool visualization from @serene.pixeltree.ca on where the opposition to zoning reform is coming from.

I had a few things to say Thursday about a Fiscally Conservative™️ way to build the housing we need. #yyccc #housing www.youtube.com/live/_BgBMEp...

This thread is partially inspired by Calgary, where right now rich, shady forces, and certain council members, want to undo “blanket rezoning” (they want it to sound sinister, but it was just a new zoning bylaw for the city that, among other things, enabled more infill housing). Don’t fall for it.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #yyccc #housing

I spoke at council yesterday in support of retaining blanket rezoning. There has been a lot of talk about nodes and corridors as a solution to our housing shortage, a "grand bargain" that insulates neighbourhoods from change.

Have spent the better of this week on the site Formerly Known As Twitter, I'm hopeful this website is nothing but sunshine, rainbows, and lollipops. How are we doing? #yyccc #ableg #cdpoli

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

Well knock me over with a feather. #yyccc

What are the odds that he's the only one being investigated? #yyccc #ableg

👋Some news I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation. I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

While I'm a big supporter of voting strategically in progressive ridings... the NDP are not the choice in Confed. The Liberal numbers will only improve once the candidate is announced tomorrow too.

"The narrative could have been explained a little bit better. The communication on it could have been better," said Sharp. - Mayoral Candidate Sharp criticizing Committee Chair Sharp for failing to do the most basic task expected of elected officials. #yyccc #UCP www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Watched Sonya Sharp's launch video. 1) Not a single word about housing 2) No mention of an arena 3) What's her favourite business? I guess it would be wrong to ask her about those things? #yyccc #UCP

Good words. Tell me more. How? When? Where? #cdnpoli #ableg #yyccc

Good riddance! #topoli #onpoli

Calgary Realtors, 2024: Blanket rezoning will hurt property values. Calgary Realtors, 2025: If we had cheaper homes we'd sell more. #yyccc

Councillor Sharp's year-end newsletter. How many homes did she help build this year? According to her, not one. Good to know. #yyccc 768a761b82ff48438a64f6eb6e18207c.marketingusercontent.com/m/view/TmADW...

BREAKING: Detailed provincial LRT costs located in AECOM report! #yyccc #ableg

Scanning the AECOM report, including a bunch of redacted pages. Of note: The junk alignment intially pushed by Devin and the self-appointed committee of so-called experts (remember them?) was eliminated real quick. #yyccc #ableg

Non-market housing across a range of needs and incomes should be built anywhere, everywhere, all at once. Every community throughout Calgary. #yyccc #ableg

“If Calgary council votes no to the Green Line, then it would be this Calgary council that voted no on the Green Line," [Dreeshen] said. Province’s goal? Kill a train downtown with a horrible plan & pin the blame on Calgary council. #yyccc #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How exciting that The Province of Alberta's magical green train fantasy is now a national story! Candidly I find it a little long and wonder why it needs more than one part, but 🤷‍♂️ www.guelphtoday.com/national-bus... 💸🧙‍♀️🚂 #cdnpoli #ableg #yyccc

City of Calgary says there's $1.3 billion not accounted for in the provincial consultant's report on the Green Line. #yyc #yyccc #calgary

Province: Your estimates are too high. We’ll tell you where to build and how. It’ll cost less City: We’ve been at this for years. Show us your work? Province: (2.5 months later) Here. But don’t share. Say yes or we’re out. Cost overruns are yours City: 😳 Thanks…? #[email protected]

Agree or disagree with Cllr Penner, she makes excellent points here! At this point does anyone really think the province wants ANY train serving downtown Calgary?? #yyccc #ableg

👋 Welcome to the official Bluesky account for Calgary Housing! We're here to share updates, news, and resources on affordable housing in Calgary. Stay tuned and follow us! #YYC #AffordableHousing #CommunityMatters

Watched #yyccc questions before going in-camera to talk Green Line. It's clear #abgov has put Calgary in an untenable situation. Estimates are very early No engagement No indemnity from property owners Little time to meet Fed $$ deadlines. Province's actions will kill it. Calgarians lose. #ableg

"The gang opposes affordable housing" #yyccc

How will the UCP’s plan to build an elevated green line down 2 St SW work with the parkade and all these +15 walkways? They’ll all need to come out 🤷‍♂️ #Calgary #GreenLine

Public records shouldn’t require a decoder ring. Calgary's municipal election finances transformed from scattered PDFs into a searchable database, making civic information more accessible. #yyc #yyccc #opendata trevorscotthowell.com/calgary-muni...

Communities First, explained: #yyccc

Mayor confirms the province's report from AECOM was delivered to the city Friday Dec 13 at 10pm (!),🤪even though the report was completed Dec 2 (!!!) 🤡 Meanwhile they've shared about this much 👇 with the public. (Props to @sarahbyyc.bsky.social) What partnership! What consultation!🤦 #ableg #yyccc

A couple weeks ago, fake renderings of a development proposal in Calgary were countered with renderings from the applicant.👇 Today, imaginations run wild about what an elevated LRT downtown could look like - because the province won't share any details of their "plan". #yyccc #ableg #cdnpoli

I wonder if "Communities First" councillors Sonya Sharp, Andre Chabot, Dan McLean, Terry Wong, and Sean Chu think these residents and business owners should be heard?? #yyccc #ableg

“It would be nice if they came and talked to us,” John Batas, owner of Michael’s Pizza Restaurant and Delivery. “At least get our input too. Because we’re the ones on the ground affected.” 😬 ❌No cost certainty ❌No detailed design ❌No consultation calgaryherald.com/news/local-n... #ableg #yyccc

If I understand correctly, the province's idea for a train through downtown Calgary is inspired by this: #yyccc #ableg

Picture an at-grade crossing 30' or more in the air where pedestrians wait for a train to pass! 🙃 #yyccc #ableg

Hokay... How do you clear the CPKC tracks at +15? Don't you actually have to get to +30 or so according to the railroad's requirements? #yyccc #ableg
