The city is selling off our green spaces piece by piece. Public parks become even more essential as the city grows. We all deserve a chance to have picnics, enjoy recreation and have healthy, full lives.

Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.

This debacle, from public to private & back again, has cycled so, so many times in Alberta.
Each time, a Con government insists private will save money, ignores history & the public purse gets fleeced to bail it out.

Hey Canada,
Stop falling for Doug Ford's grift and stop buying those "Canada is not for sale" hats, that are:
1) Not really made in Canada
2) Putting money into the pocket of a Trump supporter
Pass it on.

@maddow.msnbc.com Canada would love you to shine a spotlight on the potential trade war that is going to hurt our economy with no justification. Trump wants us to secure our border from all the drugs pouring into the States. Explain this, please
