A few years ago, I got to illustrate this powerful story about the positive impacts of #yyc's low income transit pass program for everyday folks. I'd be sad to see the funding for this program cut. You can see the full video (& a few others) here: the23rdstory.com/ten-years-toge…

.@PierrePoilievre’s antics in the House of Commons were not a display of petulance or immaturity. This was a choreographed act of further undermining our democratic institutions and parliament. He wants to convince you that Canada is broken by deliberately breaking it. #cdnpoli
Today, I tabled Bill C-387 to protect the Canada Pension Plan from Conservatives like Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre. The CPP is a critical part of Canadians’ retirement security. We must protect it!
We're in a cost of living crisis and the province has just cut transit pass funding for people on income support programs like AISH. This is just unfathomably cruel and petty cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Graduate students at both the U of A and U of C are calling our authoritarian Premier, @ABDanielleSmith, on her BS. “Any claim the these funding arrangements favour left-wing disciples is laughably false.”

This is why our Premier, #DenialSmith, continues to demonize municipal leaders and councils — she hates their progressive values and policies. The UCP’s spiteful nature will be their be undoing.

Pierre Poilievre just got kicked out of the House of Commons for calling the prime minister a “whacko.” While this is all incredibly stupid, the surrounding context is actually very serious. Here’s why.
I don’t who or what Temu is, but their “unskipable” ad has convinced me to NEVER buy whatever it is they’re selling. And if Elon Musk thinks we’ll all pay him money to avoid hearing these annoying ads, he’s got another thing coming.
Every day, more and more municipal leaders are stepping forward to condemn Bill 20 and its overreach. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli westernwheel.ca/wheels-west/fo…

Things have spun entirely out of control in Alberta. The healthcare crisis, attacks on higher education and municipalities, power shortages, droughts and fires. But what I feel for the first time in a long time is also that the momentum is shifting. The people have had enough.
We're in a cost of living crisis and the province has just cut transit pass funding for people on income support programs like AISH. This is just unfathomably cruel and petty cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
I covered a lot of council mtgs and I still remember this one. The low income transit pass means people living in extreme poverty can take the bus for $5 a month. They can get to appointments, classes & the grocery store. It's a lifeline. #yyccc calgaryherald.com/news/traffic/c…
The University of Alberta and the University of Calgary Graduate Students' Associations have released a joint letter to the Premier of Alberta slamming Bill 18 and the claims that federal funding is favourably given to "liberal" disciplines. Ping Lam Ip and I are cited.
I’m no political scientist- but if I have this right the UCP have decided to punish Calgary/Edmonton because the UCP lost so badly in our 2 cities. That in turn is going to make us vote for them next time? Not going to happen #enoughisenoughucp #firetheucp @nenshi @KathleenGanley

A large and efficient commuter rail network stretching across the province has incredible potential. It represents a forward-looking vision and is a mobility solution for our rapidly growing province and I’m excited to watch this plan take shape and bring us into the future.…
