What do you have to say about this cruel, horrible action by the Calgary police?

For Immediate Release

Calgary Police Enforcement Blitz November 5, 2025

See our full statement

#yyccc #CPS #94callstoaction #231callsforjustice #Indigenous #Treaty7
City of Calgary Mayor and Councillors, It is with great disappointment that our first communication to the newly formed council of the City of Calgary is to speak to an act of reprehensible violent raids perpetrated by the Calgary Police Service upon the most vulnerable residents. There can be no confusion that this was an act of deliberate harm and the continued genocide of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, who as you know disproportionately represent the population of homelessness in Calgary, as a direct result colonial violence. Targeting, arresting and dismantling desperate survival conditions of the most vulnerable people in the city will do nothing but perpetuate harm and cause further trauma. The loss of belongings, punitive fines and jail terms serve only to put the means of survival further from reach. Shelters and group facilities are not alternatives to housing and culturally appropriate wrap around services; they are places where people are forced to give up loved pets and belongings and are subjected to physical and emotional violence. Police sweeps are colonial tactics used to further displace vulnerable people and incarcerate Indigenous peoples to continue the displacement and assimilation tactics of land theft. They are not, as police Chief McLellan states “a collaborative and compassionate approach to addressing concerns about disorder and violent crime.” The measured and misleading language from the police Chief including statements such as “Arresting is connecting,” and “Arrests will be made when necessary, but always with dignity and care.” are intended to deliberately manipulate the public and camouflage the violence of raids and imprisonment each of the victims of Wednesday’s attacks will suffer from. Crime rhetoric weaponized during the recent municipal election is now being used to gain public sympathies for the acts of violence by the police. Many of the victims of these raids are Residential School survivors - the depravity of thi… This city is situated on Treaty 7 Territory, a councillor or mayor has a duty to represent residents as good Treaty partners, honouring the true intent and spirit of Treaty 7, and the responsibility to protect from colonial institutions, the rights of Indigenous peoples to live in freedom, peace and security. We have a duty to ensure the care of survivors by acting on the fulfillment of all 94 Calls to Action and ending the continuing violence with the full implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice. Non-Indigenous people carry the responsibility for the governing structures of Canada, its provinces and municipalities and an obligation to end the colonial violence that continues today. Each one of us is responsible for dismantling the systems that harm children first.

Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.

“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
Trump: The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT 1 ReTruth 3 Likes 10/23/25, 7:39 PM

It’s been challenging for municipal candidates running in the election to get traction, & the postal strike isn’t helping. If you have the time, please sign up for some lit drops on a local campaign.

And give the Calgary Party candidates in your ward a look. Let’s not let Danielle Smith win.

Politics doesn’t have to be dirty, but sometimes it is. Recently someone tried to discredit the campaign of a candidate of great integrity, the only woman running in Ward 7. This kind of weak tactic won’t silence a strong candidate and her campaign, but it sullies the election for everyone.
hmcraeyyc ... Bringing families into politics is never ok. Full stop. This week, my supporters received anonymous letters attacking me and my family. These tactics have no place in Calgary's election. I'm also the only woman running in Ward 7 - and the only one being targeted like this. That says a lot. To those of you who have kept your signs up and stood proudly with me: thank you. I know it hasn't been easy, but your support means everything. Together, we're showing that integrity and courage matter more than smear campaigns. I'm proud to have you in my corner. Friend - I want to take a moment to personally thank you for your support in this campaign. Over the past week, some of my supporters received anonymous letters attacking me and my family. These kinds of tactics are deeply disappointing and have no place in Calgary's municipal election. As the only woman in this race, I know that standing up for what's right can sometimes make you a target. But I also know that with supporters like you by my side, we can rise above negativity and keep this campaign focused on what matters: ideas, community, and Calgary's future. My door is always open. If you ever have questions, concerns, or simply want to talk, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you again for standing with me. Together, we're building a stronger Ward 7. With gratitude, Heather McRae Candidate for Ward 7, The Calgary Party

Ward 7 could have been so easy. It's been demoralizing to watch things go off the rails due to petty politicking, classic progressive purity testing, and old grudges (and frankly, a ton of sexism).

Are we ever going to learn our lesson?

The more I think about the Premier's comments, the more shocked I am.

Public servants aren’t above criticism, and her behaviour was insensitive and unbelievably entitled.

Albertans deserve better.
The people of Jasper deserve better.

Canada should become the queer sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people fleeing the US

If the safe country presumption with the US is toppled for LGBTQ asylum seekers, Canada will become an easy way for LGBTQ Americans to immigrate to another country as asylum does not need to take into account disability status or education level for a claim to succeed.
