Are news media finally fed up with UCP drug war propaganda? The Alberta government is scrambling to glue together its narrative that overdose deaths can be solved through a limited scope of privatized rehab. But a live interview on CBC Calgary pulled the curta...

It comes and goes. I still hold up Rob Brown’s interview with Dan Williams two years ago as a gold standard for critical journalism in AB. Wish it was more common though!

It seems that #yyc drivers have an attitude problem. With all the recent hit and runs, and pedestrian deaths, you’d think drivers would get the message. Today I stared down a driver attempting to cross in front of me while I was in the marked crosswalk.

It's very frustrating that the @calgary.ca continues to send a message to visually impaired people that they are invisible &that whether or not they get sick doesn't matter. I find it bizarre they are so intent at not using ALT text that they choose to degrade the visually impaired #Inclusion #YycCc

"Seething his way through eight minutes, Williams revealed that five years into its recovery-oriented strategy, the Alberta government has no data to show for its strategy costing lives and taxpayers. No studies, no reports. Just record-breaking deaths."

I was just made aware it is not clear wtf i’m talking about.

Back when Gondek was mayor, the target was to use less than 450 M litres of water per day. Had the target been 500 M, as it is today, she could have been happy positive mayor too.

Woo wee! I thought Alberta renewable power generators wouldn't trouble themselves with litigation against the Alberta government for the renewables moratorium plus associated outcomes. This is a huge thing for ATCO. Yes! Make it so! 1/

β€œGet the hell off my land” Landowner blockades MAGA Energy’s access to wellsite after three years of unpaid rent Mark Dorin's message for the Alberta Energy Regulator: β€œDo your damn job – or landowners are going to take action and protect themselves.”

The AER did a damn poor job of requiring oil companies to pay what they owe land owners.
Can't imagine why any of them wld be put in charge of investigating Calgary's water main.
Do your own damn jobs before striking out for greener pastures.

Give disabled Albertans an equal footing. Ask the government to pass Bill 206 The Accessibility Act.

Alberta is one of only two provinces without legislation to ensure accessibility for the disabled community.
