And thousands of hungry Canadians are stranded on our streets in sub-zero conditions because they have no housing. Which is the more compelling story, CBC?

Last night we watched The Glass Onion on Netflix. Does anyone else think that the Miles Bron character is based on Elon Musk?
Exactly. As long as CN and CP own the tracks, passenger rail will be hobbled in Canada. We should consider the European model, where the infrastructure and trains are separated, and railways face competition.

The Bank of Canada is on the same anti-worker trajectory. Inflation is driven by profit driven price increases, the central bank makes low and middle class Canadians bear the burden.

You’re welcome!
This is an important thread:
Not exactly. I’m saying that if you take cabinet size as an indicator of caucus discontent, Smith has managed to reach in just a few months the level of caucus discontent it took Redford several years to achieve.

Such a swollen cabinet is a clear sign that Danielle Smith has little support in her caucus. Only by including a majority within the cabinet can she retain control. IMHO, the central issue is not the cost, it is the fact that the UCP is more more divided than ever.

It reminds me of the last days of Alison Redford, when over half the PC caucus ended up in cabinet. It’s a caucus control strategy. Members of cabinet get higher pay and are subject to the cabinet solidarity. The must support the government (read “premier”) and its decisions.

@trevortombe @bmasonNDP people moving from Ontario to Calgary have little to do with oil patch. Housing arbitrage, corporate jobs and Tech jobs would be important factors.
@trevortombe @bmasonNDP I wonder how much of this is related to housing prices? Everyone I know who has moved to Calgary over the past year, moved here for what mostly amounted to be housing related reasons.
@bmasonNDP That's fair, and I think I agree. But suspect it'll be some time (if ever) before we get credible polling on why people moved to AB during this period. And may be hard to separate causes.
