Known higher rates of failures when outside in -17โ€™C weather and exposed to ice. Not a good look for Canadaโ€™s Arctic FOLs.

Energized after another evening on the doors with an incredible team. Nothing beats hearing directly from Calgarians about the city we can build: safe, affordable, and ready for the future. Be part of a new path forward: jeromy.ca/sign #yyccc

Banning novels like Looking For Alaska, a book with no pictures or illustrations, is not what Smith said she was doing. But it was what the Civil Liberties group warned would happen. This is a ridiculous betrayal of the libertarian wing of the UCP.

Single-stair buildings should be legal to build in Alberta. They are banned by our Provincial Building Code. The Provincial Government could stop gatekeeping and legalize family friendly apartments.

Itโ€™s almost as if people pointed out how stupid this order was, and the Minister doubled down, only to then reverse course once it attracted international ridicule.

Comments like these make it pretty clear that the SoCon wing actually did want to ban 200+ novels from school libraries.

The next problem will be familiar to some readers: the second staircase regulation, which requires that all tallish buildings have at least two staircases, eating up much of their floorplate. The fascinating thing about the second staircase rule is that the Government knew it was

I canโ€™t fathom why the National Post keeps interviewing left-wing Eco-NIMBY quacks like Patrick Condon. This is an excellent summary of all the ways Condon is wrong about housing.

A well written summary of the problem: the SoCon activists wanted to ban novels in addition to the comic images used as examples. Now that Smith is revising the order, both the left and right wing activists are angry.

This type of gentle density is illegal in Alberta due to gatekeeping in our Building Code. The Province could fix this, if they wanted to. #ableg
