If you spend any time in Edmonton with the folks who live on its streets, you'll see how the elites have condemned them to horrific situations, including the obvious possibility of disease.
Yikes: A tuberculosis outbreak has been declared in inner-city Edmonton. 12 people have gotten sick this year. Two recently confirmed in October, suggesting it's spread.

A conservative Alberta MP crossing the floor should tell you everything you need to know about the Carney, liberals and liberalism in general.
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.
If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.
That's right.
Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

One of our (newly elected) City Council's first orders of business was to *unanimously* approve $1 million to expand access to day shelter space in Edmonton. 👏🏻

Opinion: Cuts have left Edmonton's homeless with nowhere to go
Too few Edmontonians are aware a tidal wave of recent funding cuts and closures has wiped the city’s daytime drop-in spaces off the map.

Cops aren’t workers. They organize as police, not as workers and they will be the first ones to enforce the will of this authoritarian government. Police associations are not labour unions.
Not even surprised by Minister Ellis in the appalling abuse of Charter rights & democracy today in the Alberta legislature. He was a unionized police officer before politics, but police are prohibited from striking in Alberta. So he can feign ignorance on good faith negotiations & labour relations.

What's that word again for a person who says one thing, but acts in a totally opposite way???
Cuz this is a pretty interesting "view" from a major architect of FORCED Addictions care, and taking away trans-care autonomy and choice!

Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?
In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.

This is an excellent article. We really need to differentiate between danger and discomfort. For like 99% of us (who are lucky enough to have jobs and homes) our cities have never been more safe, yet all I hear about is how dangerous my city is. It's a load of horse shit.

This headline say funders to Knack are city staff and then in the article give no examples of city staff (admin) and say that city staff remain neutral. Mighty misleading. This really pisses me off because the public already has very little concept of the difference between admin and council.
There is more than $400K of Cartmell's funding from donors who have also given to the UCP; Knack has many donors in city administration.
