BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon's health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers across the country.

Coun. Penner asks the question... if the wind-down delta ($ spent versus $ needed to wind down) is greater than what would be needed from the province to get the line to Shepard. Yes... was the answer from admin. #yyc #yyccc #calgary

I asserted this would be the case a couple weeks ago. Now it's been confirmed. The province could have contributed less than $800M to get the entire first leg of phase 1 done, bringing the provincial gvmt contribution to still less than the >$2.1B spend to get ZERO kms. #yyccc

This world. This province. wtf folks?! This ain’t it.

If it were iPhones that were leaving the factory with explosives inside, the media would be a hell of a lot faster to cotton on to what a horrific precedent has been set today. Nothing can justify this. It's a crime. A crime. And everyone in the world is less safe for it.

This is REAL money that was wasted. Literal cash. Spent on nothing useful to the Alberta community. Meanwhile health and education are crumbling.

“Alberta has always welcomed newcomers who possess our shared values…” just being xenophobic trash on main 🤷🏻‍♀️ #ableg #abpoli

I really loved this conversation. Jon DiSavino is an excellent interviewer who really cares about the authors and the books. I hope you get to listen too - it's up in all the podcast places! This episode also features a bit of the audiobook read by Roveena Gnanabakthan.

Israel's attack on Lebanon only seems 'precise' if you're a huge racist who believes every Arab and Muslim is a terrorist

The folks at Alberta Childrens are so amazing. After spending the last two days dealing with a kiddo concussion, I want to emphasize that we have such expertise here and incredible medical professionals, let's (cough cough politicians) try to not fuck it up more.

Smith confirms this morning that none of the money announced last night is dedicated to per student funding, teachers or staff. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, phones, walkie talkies, solar panels, intercoms and radios exploded across Lebanon, killing at least 9 Lebanese and injuring some 300 more. We know not what we are witnessing. To justify these indiscriminate attacks is to justify terrorism.

Scandal. No regrets on my feedback provided on the recent uni EDI survey. Don’t forget to fill it in if you are part of the university! For all those “behind the scenes” people who are apparently doing lots of “work,” you can fill it in and still safely remain in the shadows!

Ok time to send those letters. Calgary Alliance for the Common Good has a good letter writing tool. The thought of spending $2.1B of taxpayer money on nothing and with no new transit to show for it makes me feel actually ill. commongoodyyc.good.do/keepgreenlineo…

I am so tired.

Have you well-actuallied a man yet today?
