I suspect this may the same well-funded anonymous group I have personal history with in Calgary. Spreading fear thru disinformation as a anti-infill density strategy. Making their disinformation look β€œofficial.”

A while back they made the big mistake of involving me. So I wrote THIS in the paper.

Red Deer County rejects oil, gas company's bid for tax penalty forgiveness Outpost Energy Ltd.'s pitch could be viewed as precedent-setting if approved, administration told council

Love seeing this (and we need more municipalities taking action as well). According to data obtained by @brettmckay.bsky.social with @theijf.org, Red Deer County is owed more than $4.6 MILLION in unpaid municipal taxes from delinquent O&G companies. www.thealbertan.com/innisfail-ne... #ABLeg #ABPoli

Danielle Smith is a separatist Premier.

Alberta-Ottawa MOU talks should address renewables roadblocks, think tank says Pembina Institute says removing obstacles must factor into negotiations around electricity emissions policy

Removing barriers to renewable energy needs to be front and centre in Alberta-federal energy talks.

Solar and wind power are fast, cheap and proven ways to reduce energy emissions β€” but Alberta has been spooking investment.

Nenshi - You’re not going to allow a referendum question that violates the constitution, so no separatist question, aren’t you leading people on?

Smith - Look, I gave them a fun hobby and eventually they’ll realize the real treasure is the friends they made along the way!

Hooked on dopamine, fuelled by testosterone, powered by AI: this is the broligarchs’ war Three weeks ago, briefly, the world was focused on Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. Now, as conflict rages, the tide of hyper-masculinity has risen again, writes Carole Cadwalladr

Criminally genius, really. Create enough chaos that by the time Americans are in gas lines, can’t feed their families, and have no healthcare, the Epstein files are the last thing anyone is thinking about.

As taxes go up, infrastructure continues to decay, rents rise and homelessness increases, we can look to this tiny constituency of wealthy Calgarians with outsized political influence who would sabotage our city's future to avoid the "irreparable harm" of having a rowhouse on their block.

Canada Is at War ... With the United States Pete Hegseth took time out from the chaos of the Iran war to make an announcement that Donald Trump has renamed the region from Mexico to Greenland as β€œGreater North America.”

Trump is once again denigrating our PM and ignoring the sovereignty of our border. This isn't "Trump being Trump" it is Trump being Putin.
We are subject to constant psyops and economic pressure to attack our right to exist.

A city of drivers expands, rapidly and inevitably, into sprawl.

A city of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit-users settles gradually and elegantly into itself.

Good job Calgary – let’s keep it up.

Yesterday’s water usage was 496 million litres (ML) which keeps us in the green zone.
