AB gov introduced Bill 20 today. Yet another expansion of provincial power into municipal politics. Gives prov the (undemocratic) power to remove municipal councillors (using vague public intereet criteria) & repeal municipal bylaws. Allows political parties to run municipally.

This excuse for loosing was ready already in April 2020: “we have to learn to live in the ‘new normal’”

“Endemicity is not attractive to them because it's a win, but because it is an excuse for losing.”👇

Good to see the city getting ready to reduce use. What's notably absent, at least from what I've seen, in these MoU's is any mention of in-stream flow needs. The river ecosystem needs water too!

It's entirely possible that the move of the Coyotes from Arizona to Utah could end up triggering a billion dollars or more in public costs across two states, all so that two NHL team owners can get new arenas without dipping too far into their own pockets. fieldofschemes.com/2024/04/22/213…

The GoA has just released the much-heralded water sharing non-agreements. They're a bit of a joke.

Incredible and historic video! The House voted in support of new aid to Ukraine was 312 vs 112. This vote is almost exactly what it was last September. This means that support for Ukraine did not fade in the House, but remains strong! Slava Ukraini!

I have noticed a significant increase in general laxity about PPE since COVID masking has been dropped. A significant % of OR staff (esp anesthesia & RTs) not bothering to mask inside actual OR even when sterile fields are open & set up.

Almost as full as the Stollery.
