The Premier needs to double-check her sources. Clinging to ideology means Alberta will miss out on opportunities. It is mind-blowing that we still look at energy as a black & white choice. The reality is that Alberta is now the capital of wind & solar in Canada! /1 – at Calgary, Alberta

Wow. And the meds are only now beginning to arrive, long after the supply crunch has eased. Who are the lobbyists who made the deal happen? How much were they paid?
We spent $80 million on Danielle Smiths Knockoff drugs. $80. Million. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From @DuaneBratt & @sarahbyyc - “A UCP victory in the 2023 election would solidify and legitimize the group as the non-elected power behind the government.” #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…

Thank you for seeing and hearing us @kourtpenner
1/ I meet regularly with many of the social serving non-profits in YYC. The challenges facing these organizations is worrisome for their capacity to deliver services. Equally hard are the stories they are collecting from the Calgarians they serve.

Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

Everyday, week after week, year after year, I ask myself the same question: Why can’t Canadian drivers keep the pace when turning left? Why gawd why?

This November we are asking you to give a little more. Help us help women in our community who have been food insecure by donating food items. Donate to the Women's Centre of Calgary this fall and be a part of getting families through the coldest time of year.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵
