Council was given a mandate on infill in the last election. Be confident in that, and resist in every way possible. Dare the UCP to go further. Call their bluff.

In 2024 it took the U of C president less than 24 hours to call in police to remove peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors in 2024. The police attacked the protestors with clubs, shields and pepper balls. So let’s be clear: only some free speech is allowed on that campus.

While the provincial government moves to set “provincewide expectations that infill development be appropriately scaled, supported by adequate utilities and water infrastructure and responsive to local conditions,” there are nearly 30,000 Alberta households in a waitlist for affordable housing.

“The premier needs to allow emergency physicians to participate in her capitalist panacea. I’m sure she won’t want to deny emergency patients the right to buy their way out of the chaos.” Brilliant satire from Dr Paul Parks! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: What if ER docs joined the province's private-pay plan?
Tongue-in-cheek column shows folly of double billing and how allowing people to pay privately for health it doesn't solve long wait lists.

I didn't mince my words. Alberta's anti-immigration referendum questions are racist. They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them. Please share. #notothenine #cdnpoli

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

I've been working to end sexual violence for 20+ years and I have never, ever, not once, had a male survivor tell me they were offended by my work or felt excluded by my work. The "What about men?!" crowd does not actually care about boys and men who've been sexually assaulted.
