BREAKING. EXCLUSIVE. SMITH GOVERNMENT REVERSES COURSE. Will continue to fund low-income transit pass. Here is the column before this news broke. Danielle Smith decides to come down on the poor calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yyccc #cdnpoli
NEW COLUMN. What was the UCP thinking? Danielle Smith decides to come down on the poor calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yyccc
Calgary's and Edmonton's mayors are criticizing the province for pulling funding from the cities' low-income transit pass programs. The province hasn't responded yet. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…
Political parties are coming to Calgary and Edmonton next election - in addition to several other sweeping changes to the MGA and Local Authorities Election Act. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…
Lots of traffic on Ogden Road around CPKC headquarters currently due to today’s event. There are traffic officers directing traffic around there. calgaryherald.com/news/cpkc-fina…
Councillors seem confused by why renters would be speaking? Guess what they pay property taxes for the landlord. They also contribute to the tax base and economy. So yes, policy changes at the city should include impacts on ALL Calgarians not just the few who who their land.
Day 2 lunchtime update - we're about 20 panels in (out of 137, I believe? unless that's gone up since yesterday). As expected, similar arguments from yesterday being put forward by both sides. There's a noticeable "generational divide," as one councillor put it in the scrum.
Hundreds of Calgarians gathered at city hall today, as an (ongoing) marathon public hearing got underway to consider a contentious proposal to change zoning regulations citywide: calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
So … what do people *really* mean when they say they don't like Calgary's proposed upzoning because they want to protect the character of their neighbourhood? My column this week: calgarysun.com/opinion/column… #yyc #yyccc
Provincial foot-dragging could derail Calgary-Banff passenger train plan, advocates say #ableg calgaryherald.com/news/local-new… via @calgaryherald @BillKaufmannjrn
CPKC steam train to set off from Calgary on first-of-its-kind transcontinental trek #yyc calgaryherald.com/news/cpkc-fina…
One of my lengthier pieces for the @calgaryherald: an explanation on the city's blanket rezoning proposal, which will be voted on after #yyccc's multi-day public hearing that starts Monday. calgaryherald.com/news/politics/…
NEW COLUMN. One guy could kill citywide rezoning in Calgary. Calgary citywide rezoning — and the man who could swing the vote calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… via @calgaryherald #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yyccc #cdnpoli
Despite what the political rhetoric on both sides suggests, upzoning will allow our neighbourhoods to evolve slowly and naturally to enable more housing choices. My column this week: calgarysun.com/opinion/column… #yyc #yyccc
If anyone is curious how Premier Danielle Smith feels about blanket rezoning, she shared her thoughts about it on her radio show this morning. calgaryherald.com/news/premier-w…
Baffles me too, and lends to my growing feeling that this isn't really about what the neighbourhood form or buildings look like, it's about excluding specific people.
Baffles me too, and lends to my growing feeling that this isn't really about what the neighbourhood form or buildings look like, it's about excluding specific people.
Calgary headed 'in wrong direction,' more than half of poll respondents say calgaryherald.com/news/politics/… #yyc #yyccc
Just had another close call with an inattentive driver trying to turn right on a red light when they should not have been. RTOR should be banned. Too many of us are not responsible enough to execute this manoeuvre safely. Recent column below: calgarysun.com/opinion/column… #yyc

UCP plan seems obvious at this point. Defund cities to increase misery, blame it on the councils, restrict their ability to take recourse, tell voters that parties will fix everything, and if that fails, give yourself the power to remove councillors and revoke bylaws. #yeg #ableg
NEW: Edmonton mayor Amarjeet Sohi has released this statement indicating the Government of Alberta is cutting its funding for the low income transit pass program in both Edmonton and Calgary.
Just a periodic reminder that - even though I’m an Anglo - I did not attend said battle(s). Thank you for your time x.com/tommygbyrne/st…
Les plaines d'Abraham sont importantes, mais aussi le parc des Braves! C'est là que le 28 avril 1760, les troupes françaises du chevalier de Lévis gagnent la 2e bataille de Québec. On parle bcp moins de cette bataille, car elle n’aura pas renversé le sort de la colonie royale.
One of the things I realized and have tried to correct is that sometimes I just shouldn’t criticize elements of QC politics in English. It’s almost always interpreted as the ROC coming down on Quebec rather than C Curtis - citizen - giving his two 🪙 (adjusted for inflation).
@couturij @titocurtis Different cultures, different nations, choose your vocabulary. The problem comes when one groupe makes it a political mission to impose its identity and repress that of others. That is supremacy, and it presumes the hierarchisation of peoples.
@couturij If I may, Canada is a country of strong regional identities. There is no (strictly speaking) Canadian culture. There’s a maritimes culture, a Prairies culture, a BC culture, etc. why can’t we work with newcomers to build a more inclusive culture? We don’t have to give it up.
Et pour en finir avec ça, il n’y a aucune publication anglophone au Québec — surtout pas une autofinancé comme la mienne — qui paye pour avoir des textes originaux en français. Le suggérer que je méprise la langue, quand je la valorise, est une accusation absurde.
De réduire la culture québécoise à ce qui se que l’on décrit dans les pages du journal de Montréal est de nier l’expérience de millions de québécois et québécoises. Comme n’importe quelle nation, la nôtre change. On peut travailler ensemble ensemble ou se bouder. I know my choice
Je suis québécois bro. Je parle français à chaque jour, ma fille de 2 ans apprend le français (et l’anglais) et parfois je rêve en joual. J’adore la musique francophone, le cinéma québécois, des chroniqueurs québécois et la société québécoise. x.com/couturij/statu…
@titocurtis 2/2 Unfortunately, the names we do have also refer to a territory that has citizens of various cultures. When you speak of Quebecois, you talk of citizenship, while we talk of culture. We have our own culture, different from yours. This should not be controversial.
Councillors seem confused by why renters would be speaking? Guess what they pay property taxes for the landlord. They also contribute to the tax base and economy. So yes, policy changes at the city should include impacts on ALL Calgarians not just the few who who their land.
Try to contain your shock: The next phase of the REM will not open on schedule late this year. rem.info/en/news/update…
According to him, council should only be listening to the perspective of home owners as all other citizens are *gasp* renters aka drifters. His words not mine.
Excited to announce that after 14 years, I have decided to leave CTV News Edmonton. So many miles, some big scoops, countless important stories. Thank you to all my colleagues past and present, anyone who trusted me with their story, and everyone who watched, read & followed.
@MonikaFurtado Like I said, it’s been going on in one form or another for the past five years. How much is enough time? Do citizens want another 5 or 10 years? In my experience, they’d still say there’s been not enough engagement. It’s a delay tactic.
I know we're talking about housing but 9ave needs a bus lane so bad #yyccc
Day 2 lunchtime update - we're about 20 panels in (out of 137, I believe? unless that's gone up since yesterday). As expected, similar arguments from yesterday being put forward by both sides. There's a noticeable "generational divide," as one councillor put it in the scrum.
The fact that so much time and energy is wasted on talking about where people are going to park their privately owned vehicles makes me insane.
I keep hearing people complaining about parking on city streets, and problems that would be associated with up-zoning. Solution is simple, just implement a city wide parking cost, because honestly the storage of private property shouldn't be subsidized by public space.
I don't know what realtors sold people houses promising that cities don't change but that's pretty reckless.
Secondary suites, cycle tracks, speed limit changes, & even #greenlineyyc. Many Calgarians are extremely resistant to change & still believe we're a small city on the prairies instead of a large city facing massive growth pressures. Fears about up-zoning will also prove unfounded
Calgary homeowners feared chaos when blanket rezoning allowed secondary suites everywhere. The earth, however, stayed on its axis. @CBCFletch: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
