Example bonkers resolution passed at Alberta UCP AGM?

"...ensure that mRNA products are not being injected into our livestock or food sources..." cuz "...never been proven to be safe..."

Huh? Impressive display of scientific illiteracy & conspiratorial thinking...

Among Native Americans and First Nations peoples, the planting combination of corn, squash, and beans is known as "Three Sisters."

In Central America and Mexico, the practice is known as milpa, and it dates back thousands of years. 🧵⬇️

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

One of my favorites here on Edmonton radio
It’s 10 years for the Monday morning duo Brittany and Rylan on The History of Punk. The hour-long program examines punk of all eras from all angles, with an emphasis on punk ethos and social justice.

Who's next?

Now that the notwithstanding clause has become a routine policymaking tool for the UCP, we need to look ahead to their next targets.

This month's AGM will provide clues.

I've said it before, I will say it once more. Every city councillor & the mayor in Calgary should have to take transit at a minimum once per week from their residence in the ward to work (i.e.: City Hall) and return home. We would immediately have improved transit service if they were using it. 🚌🚉
🚌🚌My city council and admin colleagues took a ride this morning on a Calgary Transit articulated bus as part of our ongoing orientation sessions.

It was great and informative to visit some key community planning initiatives and future development areas around the city.
