"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth.

Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

"the province has other more transparent and efficient revenue generation options."

The City does not.

Amid inflation, rapid growth, and uncertainty, a significant burden is being downloaded onto cities—Calgary in particular.

Thanks for the great analysis,
@abmunis.bsky.social!

The literal translation of compassion is "feeling with". In a world obsessed with division, we can all choose to be "with". To intentionally sit "with" those who are not like us and carry different perspectives.

In a fear and anger arms race... choose compassion.

It feels great to see ABCD being embraced by The City of Calgary as a prominent lens for their work in communities.

Friendly reminder that we have a Council Compensation Review Committee here at The City of Calgary. Any system that enables politicians to make decisions about their own salaries is going to be gamed.

Yikes, we have some serious educational work to do about the realities of living in a major centre.

Listening to the Trellis application at Public Hearing and the gap between the worlds of those "for" and "against" is vast. Can't help but feel a little defeated by the chasm. Local impact and kids pleading for their local park vs. caring for vulnerable in our society.

At Council this week, we received an important update on the work The City is doing on the Bearspaw watermain break. I found this slide and portion of the presentation especially helpful:

Cllr. Pootmans is one of the most genuine people I have had the pleasure of working with. He was always ready to help and direct and did so gently while constantly speaking affirmation to call the best out of his colleagues. I will miss him immensely.
