The 2021 edition of my Neighbourhoods First 'zine is out now! It features contributions from several inspiring Calgarians & illustrations by local artist Chris Pecora. It's online at the link below; paper copies available at businesses in Ward 8. calgary.ca/citycouncil/wa… #yyc

Total population data for Calgary. #yyccc

I was speechless reading this yesterday. How many times can the system fail one person? My heart goes out to the family of Dalia Kafi. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

So long as any woman in the world is stripped of her bodily autonomy and dignity, all of us are at risk. Reproductive rights should be universal, and anyone who says otherwise has no business being near any sort of power. The end.

I urge members of Council to adopt my vaccine passport proposal at the EMCM tomorrow. I have prepared a motion which would direct city administration to prepare a bylaw reinstating the face covering bylaw while introducing vaccine passports. We need to act quickly #yyccc #AbLeg

when you see people literally hanging onto to airplanes to escape their home country, stop bitching about how your “freedoms are violated” because you can’t get the team pitcher at Boston Pizza without flashing a sticker in your wallet that confirms you passed 3rd grade science

Calgary is a city built for cars, but in any modern city, universal, safe, and accessible transportation is essential. On Monday, October 18, a vote for #CourtneyWalcott is a vote for affordable, universal transportation in Calgary. #yyccc #teamwalcott #calgary #ward8candidate

Jason Kenney thought he had outwitted the coronavirus. The cost of his confident yet profoundly wrong beliefs is brutal for Alberta. My column, ahead of whatever belated half-measures the premier announces. macleans.ca/opinion/what-j…

1/I’m not sure how many tweets this is gonna take so bear with me. The provincial government has driven us straight into the most hellish pandemic situation in the country, but no one is resigning? Halfhearted apologies with no responsibility or accountability acknowledged?

BREAKING: Three readings of Calgary's vaccine passport bylaw have been passed, with only Coun. Farkas opposed. This means any Calgary business eligible to participate in vaccine passport program must do so. #yyccc

"Lies are not opinions, stop educating yourself on Youtube videos." Calgary Mayor Nenshi went on the attack after Foothills County Reeve Suzanne Oel said that COVID vaccines had only been tested on animals. #yeg #yyc #ableg #Covid19ab

If locking my 2X vaccinated ass down for a month buys a kid his cancer surgery, a grandmother her long awaited & desperately needed new hip, keeps one more immunocompromised person from dying from Covid, or allows a mom to get her transplanted liver, Lock. Me. Up. #ableg

Let’s set the record straight, Jeromy (Pathfinder) Farkas has never had a job outside of politics. Like Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱, he is pandering to a small group of anti-vaxxers. He has repeatedly voted against public health measures necessary to protect Calgarians and local businesses. #yyccc #ableg

People in Alberta and Saskatchewan are dying from COVID-19 at about quadruple the rate as people in the rest of Canada. (Data source: health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/epide…)

I seem to use the facepalm emoji more than any other emoji.

Anti-vaxx argument #1: body autonomy! Except for the uterus- that’s exempt.

She’s stays awake - after hours of labour and birth. And admin’s solution : gum! Gum prevents moms from falling asleep and smothering their baby! Because, space, support, attention aren’t options. I’m so done, folks. I need others to care too.
