The most elite private schools in Alberta receive MILLIONS in public funding. These schools have tuitions up to $30,000. WHY are we funding these rich fuckers? #UCPcorruption #abed #abpoli

Only the UCP would spend millions of taxpayer $$ on an “Alberta is Calling” ad campaign convincing people to move here… make no investments & actually cut funding for housing & education…then turn around and blame immigrants for housing shortages or overcrowded classrooms… 🙈

I grew up on a farm. The bridge over the creek outside our house was often used by people dumping “cats in bags.” I remember looking down and seeing those bags through the water. I didn’t think it was funny then, and I don’t think it’s funny now. It was just sad.

Today, the courts ruled that Rebel media is not a “qualified Canadian journalism organization.” Now this! Dupes of Putin’s misinformation army? Tools of Russia’s ongoing information war aimed at destabilizing western democracies? Is Ezra a traitor in addition to being a jerk?

Elevated rail in downtown Calgary could cause a property value drop of $100M-$160M ($2016) to Calgary's downtown, equivalent to the 2008 economic crisis. Are Minister Dreeshen and Premier Smith going to crush our downtown with their elevated rail plan? pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ash…
