I went past two on the weekend (strangely very near each other). The roadside one, didnβt see any there nor turn in. The sidewalk one, no one signing. Fingers crossed their numbers end up as pathetic as the idea.

Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Did you know?
The Provincial government has increased their property taxes on Calgarians by 57% over four years, well above inflation and population growth. They're now imposing the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history with a 21% hike, or about $350 for the typical family.
An advocacy hub that has served Calgaryβs disabled community for nearly three decades is closing after the province ended its funding contract a year early.

The City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase.
For a typical $706,000 home:
πΊ Province: +$339
πΉ City: +$49
We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The Cityβs increase is 1.81%.
The new contracts are cancelled. The government swore there was "nothing to see" with these conflicts! Why did it take journalists to blow the lid off the #CorruptCare scandal? What else are they hiding?π΅οΈββοΈ

If anyone's going to the Canucks game tomorrow night, Mr. Presidential Medal of Freedom should be there to hear what you think. Don't let him down.
This is Danielle Smithβs real agenda while she distracts with promise of her racist referendum
Danielle Smith confirms that if Alberta separatism petition drive succeeds, the independence referendum will be on October 19 ballot too. So expect (at least) 10 ballot measures coming this fall.
YOU LIKE DEMOCRACY? WHY DON'T YOU TRY SMOKING AN ENTIRE PACK OF DEMOCRACY?

βSmith blamed what she called the βdisastrous open-border immigration policiesβ of former prime minister Justin Trudeau for straining Albertaβs health care, education and social servicesβ
Here she is begging, BEGGING for a revised allocationβ¦..

It's the story that never ends...
Chatted with @carrietait.bsky.social on the latest Turkish Tylenol scoop - another $500k to warehouse then $700K spent to dispose of the leftover supply - and just how many of the 1.5M imported bottles Alberta actually used...

This is Princess. She and her human work hard every day collecting trash at an apartment building. It is an often thankless job, but one kind resident thought the pair should know how much they are appreciated, and that Princess should get a uniform too. 13/10 for all (TT: oliviaolp)
Danielle Smith total screw up of Alberta Healthcare continues.
Fee charged to hospital patients waiting for long-term care points to system bottleneck, some say
Alternative Level of Care Accommodation Charge used to recoup some costs, province says

Yuck.
On this National Flag Day, the Maple Leaf flies at half-mast.
Today our flag carries a message for the community of Tumbler Ridge: Canada is with you.
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
βThe climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models canβt capture what matters most β the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world β and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.β
This should be THE story everyday.

Just a constant reminder that really, across the entire world, we just hate women.
Yeah, up to 16 years possibly for 4 women/38 charges? Doesnβt seem great.
No matter where you live in Canada, please support our unity. We are together.
