It doesn't get much clearer than this why Land Value Tax is key to fixing the housing crisis Less gain from holding land, more from building. Punish vacant lots and give tax relief to those who use land better, like multi-family housing. (farmland can be exempt from LVT)

From our archives: The Menominee have been logging their forest for 170 years, but their forest has 40 percent more wood than when they started. How? They only cut sick or weak trees, leaving healthy trees to grow and reproduce. Read more: bit.ly/3KcVEma

Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.   My statement on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state:

We have the highest youth unemployment rate in Canada, our health care is in tatters, UCP are building bureaucracy & gov over-reach, our Premier openly stokes & supports separatism. The UCP is the very definition of failure. We have options Alberta, we can do better. #abpoli

The UCP is running a criminal enterprise , change my mind.

I spoke out today against the UCP’s deeply flawed Covid vaccine rollout plan. It’s not really a plan to encourage or facilitate vaccination, at all. In fact, it’s just the opposite: anti-vax strategy dressed up as a vaccine rollout strategy. “It’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

In Denmark a herd of 30 giant Taurus Ox will be released wild to fill the ecological niche left by the now extinct Auroch ox. This will be an interesting project to follow. hempelfoundation.com/article/the-ta…

#ableg #abpoli Alberta’s deficit jumped from $1.3B to $6.5B in just 5 months A reminder that Danielle Smith BANNED $33B in green energy projects that could’ve created jobs & revenue. This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It’s self-sabotage. The UCP is a disaster. Period.

Danielle Smith and the UCP are so concerned that boys won't be “boys” that they’ll check the pants of every young girl in the province ☹️ #abpoli

So much anger sent my way from people who apparently think they do own their kids. You still don't.

No one should have to pay to participate in democracy. Today, Court overturned an Elections Alberta requirement for every #ForeverCanadian canvasser to have an affidavit signed by a Notary or Commissioner. This hurdle is expensive. Let's keep the momentum going! #Ableg
