We pay more per ride than Montreal, Toronto, or Vancouver…for what?
Council just voted against eliminating the free fare zone and free transit for kids ages 6 - 12. But did approve fare boost - fares will be $4/ride. #yyccc

What MLB's salary cap history can tell us about the upcoming CBA negotiations

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

Hey kids. I just talked to your bosses. They said you can knock off early. No don’t ask them. Close up shop. Pencils down. Hit the road. Safe travels and enjoy a piping hot cup of gravy. Also steal whatever office supplies you want on your way out. It’s cool. For real.

You know how there are some historical reenactment museum areas where you can go and see people dressed old timey churning butter and making horseshoes? There should be one that's a bar and kids can go listen to reenactors complain about their city's sports teams from different decades

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

The real story that the legacy media refuse to tell is that this is classic liberal corruption and billionaire lobbying: Melanie Jolie's brother is the CEO of intelcom, and the Libs have been lobbied by UPS, Amazon, and Pittney Bowes during our negotiations. All the other reasons for cuts are bunk

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.
