Power doesn’t always corrupt—sometimes it just reveals who was willing to forget the hands that lifted them.

There are some suits in Calgary’s downtown who would be wise to remember this adage. The people you surround yourself will always speak volumes.

80% of Calgarians opposed blanket rezoning. Dozens of communities pushed back. Thousands spoke up. But some progressives are still outraged that mayoral candidates are listening? Maybe it’s time to say we need a more focused and dynamic solution to housing than rezoning. #yyccc #yyc2025

Big weekend as Calgary hosted the Provincial Fencing Championships! Huge kudos to @FencingCalgary for making the sport affordable/accessible: providing gear/rentals so more kids can get started. As a parent, I know how lucky we are. Let’s keep opening doors for all kids in sport. More access needed!

As part of our ever expanding Alberta Disadvantage, we’ve already moved to paying for COVID-19 vaccines. Danielle’s trying to pull us out of Canada, one service at a time.

I didn't realize it's rare for folks who are not first responders to participate. Very cool that @jeromyyyc.bsky.social is welcomed to be a part of this. And challenging Chief Dongworth up all 57 floors!
Calgary, I need your help! I'm just a few hundred dollars short of my $5,000 goal in support of people, families, and Calgary firefighters battling cancer. Please consider donating: give.wellspring.ca/fundraisers/... #yyccc

Give me a mayor who takes what communities say and think seriously.
Community surveys are a huge part of understanding where candidates stand on the issues that matter to us and what they prioritize (or have given even any thought to). The responses to Creative Calgary’s will be interesting to watch for all of us who love the arts www.creativecalgary.org/mayor

As Calgary prepares to welcome up to a million new residents, we must choose: keep reacting to crime—or lead with action that prevents it.

I’m releasing Built for Belonging, a 25-point plan for a safer Calgary.

Heading to our first city wide fencing tournament. We’re excited - and deeply aware that this opportunity isn’t accessible to every kid. Sport should build community, not reinforce barriers. We need to talk about the cost of participation and who’s getting left out. #youthsports #fencing #yycsports

Alberta doesn’t have a ‘sexually explicit books in schools problem’ — it has a fear-of-students-thinking problem.

Removing books about 2SLGBTQ+ lives, race, and identity is about control, not care.
Kids deserve books that reflect reality, not censorship. #abed #LetThemRead
