City council is at its best when it takes two hours to complete a pre-functionary, money-control process on something it has previously approved.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

If you’re ever bored & want to see a summary of incompetence and arrogance, read the Court of King’s Bench smack-down of the UofR Students Union.
“URSU admits to recent mismanagement and misappropriation of funds…”
They admitted to theft. On the record!

For those @uregina.bsky.social students who are frustrated by the behaviour of the URSU executive, I created a cheat-sheet of next steps to exercise your rights & hold the Executive accountable to the membership.

If you believe the SGM (or any conduct of URSU, for that matter) runs afoul of the Non-profit Corporations Act, as a member of URSU you can ask a Court to investigate.

In a shocking twist, URSU was unable to find their way out of a wet paper bag…
Probably for the best. The Dissolution Resolution itself was not lawful (directly contracted URSU’s Constitution)
Not to mention improper notice was given for the meeting, & verification of members was weak at best

Special URSU meeting on organization's dissolution has been adjourned after concerns about the voting process. No decision made on the dissolution. Meeting adjourned to an undetermined date.

I love the consistency of brand for URSU.
Clowns can’t even fold their organization without breaking the law.
And they have a *lawyer* chairing the Special General Meeting
The incompetence is stunning
As is the Board’s apparent believe that they can simply wave a wand & be free of accountability

If somebody has more cars than they have parking spaces for on their property, I'm not sure why I should be paying taxes to give them a parking spot on the street in front of their house.

Juno Beach, June 6, 1944.
When Americans and Brits were still struggling in the water, young Canadians were clearing the Nazis out of Normandy.
This is who we are.
We wouldn't sell out our country or any other nation to thugs.
Go ask the people of Normandy.
They will tell you what Canada means.

I’d prefer to just see free transit for everyone under 18, but this is a step in the right direction.
(also, getting people riding is an investment in the future - if they don’t ride as kids/youth, gonna be a lot harder to get them to rides as adults. Car culture doesn’t change quickly)

Is she a traitor? Maybe.
Is she pandering to her base for votes? Yes.
Because she knows full well that the national approach will go ahead. It will impact every province… and now she can point to Ottawa & blame them. And she can say she “stood up” for Alberta.
She’s an opportunist.
