Sen. Sanders: "I suggest to CNN and maybe some of my colleagues here, maybe take your cameras, just for a moment, off of Columbia and UCLA . Maybe go to Gaza, and take your camera show us the emaciated children who are dying from malnutrition because of Netanyahu's policies."

This is a great graphic illustrating how many properties can actually be converted into a 4+4 undear R-CG. It’s only 4.6%. Factor in the turnover rate of property, the decision whether new owner even wants to build 4+4… this’ll take decades to build out. #yyccc #Calgary
"Power grab." "Attacks local democracy." "Quit meddling." "Doesn't appear to see municipal governments as legitimate." And that's just what small-town & rural leaders are saying about Danielle Smith's bill to let cabinet squash local bylaws. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… New by me

We are going to kill all of you. OK. After much pushback we have decided not to kill all of you. Appreciate and give us credit for not killing all of you. We are very good for not killing all of you. Remember we did not kill all of you. - Benevolently yours, @Alberta_UCP
Yep. Or to look at it another way, I suspect that if the UCP government started properly funding things that are in their jurisdiction -- health, housing, social services, etc. -- cities would probably be happy to take on the full cost of low-income transit passes.

Colombia, the country, is now fully cutting diplomatic ties with Israel. In his May Day speech President Gustavo Petro said: "The era of genocide, of the extermination of an entire people before our eyes, before our humanity, cannot return. If Palestine dies, humanity dies."
@JanisIrwin I suspect that the only reason they reversed their decision was that Calgary City Council unanimously passed a motion to go after property taxes that the government owes the city to make up the difference & continue the program. Edmonton may have had the same plan.

Great, the UCP did the right thing and reversed their decision to cut funding for the low-income transit pass. But they deserve no kudos. They thought they could get away with an attack on some of our most vulnerable neighbours. Don’t forget, Alberta. And stay loud. #ableg

Our recent tax study finds that the top 1% pay less tax as a share of income than EVERYBODY else. This has to change. And despite what your conservative uncle thinks no one pays half their income in taxes.
@markusoff The UCP continue to fund bussing for low income people in Camrose, Hinton, Leduc, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Spruce Grove. Bussing in these places is their jurisdiction but not the cities?

Blatant lie. As many others have pointed out, the motion was to ask the government of Alberta, that is, YOU and your people, to consider it. It is unethical for a premier to mislead people this way. SHAME.

We are going to kill all of you. OK. After much pushback we have decided not to kill all of you. Appreciate and give us credit for not killing all of you. We are very good for not killing all of you. Remember we did not kill all of you. - Benevolently yours, @Alberta_UCP
Yep. Or to look at it another way, I suspect that if the UCP government started properly funding things that are in their jurisdiction -- health, housing, social services, etc. -- cities would probably be happy to take on the full cost of low-income transit passes.
UCP says they're axing because transit service isn't its jurisdiction. Neither is funding roads and utility work around an arena, but Danielle Smith will fund that. Choices. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
@JanisIrwin I suspect that the only reason they reversed their decision was that Calgary City Council unanimously passed a motion to go after property taxes that the government owes the city to make up the difference & continue the program. Edmonton may have had the same plan.

I have been honoured to serve with @PamDamoff. She brings integrity and decency to Canada's democracy. It is disgraceful that she has been harassed and threatened by the growing right wing fringe. The politics of intimidation is a threat to democracy. thestar.com/politics/feder…
I hope this is true. But it brings back my core criticism of this government. They don’t care or think much about actual governing. They are focused only on the fight they want to have on any given day, not on the impact on real people.
Confirmed. After one day of wtf backlash, province is backtracking on this cut to low-income transit passes.
Great, the UCP did the right thing and reversed their decision to cut funding for the low-income transit pass. But they deserve no kudos. They thought they could get away with an attack on some of our most vulnerable neighbours. Don’t forget, Alberta. And stay loud. #ableg
While appreciative that the province reversed this decision, we should have never been in this position. Prov funding is 12% of program funding for YYC. Low-income needs have only increased, funding should have never been cut and truthfully, needs to be indexed annually. #yyccc
Alta government reverses decision to cut low income transit pass funding in province's two big cities. #yyccc #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Blaming Calgary & Edmonton for not being able to pay for the full programs? Premier Smith PROMISED this to get elected: "We will invest in food banks and expand low income transit passes to ensure every Albertan has access to food and mobility for their families." #ableg
From the inbox: Alberta is reversing course on its funding of low-income transit passes. Partly blames Calgary and Edmonton for being "not able to pay for their full programs at this time."
Our recent tax study finds that the top 1% pay less tax as a share of income than EVERYBODY else. This has to change. And despite what your conservative uncle thinks no one pays half their income in taxes.
