A province can adequately fund or not fund their municipalities and that is 100% allowable. Are there consequences to playing games with cities? Absolutely. Edmonton & Calgary account for over 70% of the economic activity in Alberta. Don’t maintain and the car will stall.
None of the OD deaths in British Columbia are from hydromorphone. Most of this is lies but if they really think it’s everywhere & out of control why is nobody dying from it? And not a single thing he suggested as a form of treatment has ever been shown to help ppl w/ addiction…

@DrJaredWesley When powerful people were in charge of the truth, they burned those who disagreed at the stake. There wasn’t much dissent so it must’ve been a good system. I can understand why @ABDanielleSmith wants to take Alberta back to those ‘good old days’
Academic freedom means entrusting the pursuit of truth to a bunch of people who disagree with themselves and each other all the time... ...instead of a group of powerful people who believe they have all the answers already.
@PfParks Agree …Bringing MORE people here without seriously shoring up healthcare worsens so many problems. We are 2 community hospitals (and their staff) short in Edmonton alone.
I don't think many appreciate the amount of resources required to negotiate intergovernmental agreements like the ones contemplated by this new law. With a misspent youth in IGR, let me walk you through what's involved in "approving" these sorts of agreements. +

The Government of Alberta is not paying their property taxes. That is a $60 million hit to the city’s bottom line. Edmonton taxpayers are forced to fill that gap. We are asking the Provincial Government to reinstate the Grant in Place of Tax Program retroactively to 2019,…
I love you all for googling this

@TheBreakdownAB A little ironic that the people that constantly complain about Alberta sending more tax money Ottawa than we get back in services are taking more tax money from municipalities than they give back in services

Pretty much our entire city deficit would be wiped clean if the province paid their property taxes as they did for the last 100+ years edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
At the Nenshi rally this afternoon. His best line "I always use an evidence-based decision making model. The UCP uses a decision-based evidence making model. Too funny but so true: #abpoli
Hey Canadian media!!! The story here isn't that Kim Campbell called Poilievre a "liar and a hate monger". The story is that Poilievre is a liar and a hate monger. #CdnMediaFailed
New polling shows that a majority of Canadians think their country is "broken". Maybe it's time for us to start focusing on the governments that are actually doing the breaking. #cdnpoli nationalobserver.com/2024/02/01/opi…
Before the vaccine was developed in 1973, 2.6 million children and pregnant women died of #measles every year. Last year, 136,000 children and pregnant women died of measles. No one gives a toss about the ill-informed opinions of death-denying trolls. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Holy cow. Seth Meyers spent 90 seconds on his show last night reminding his viewers everything that Donald Trump has said I done & it is absolutely perfect. This is how it’s done & we need so much more of it. Watch & share this.

@oldbeefjerky Hey Old Beef Jerky, we have over a million ppl in this city with a million different opinions and priorities. One of the jobs of the Coty and Council is balance those voices and populations, which means not everyone will always agree on expenditures or policies.

Finally!! Common sense, compassionate leadership to manage Canada’s addiction crisis. #opioidcrisis #mentalhealth #addiction #pierre4pm
@DrJaredWesley Lots of misunderstanding in the replies. The Unified Family Court was a good thing, the judges were to be specialized in family cases, so needed and necessary. Please ask people with real knowledge of the issue. I promise we all wanted the UFC, no matter which party you support.
@DrJaredWesley I think one of the problems with this government is that they demand concessions whether they actually need them or not, because it serves their purpose to always be at odds with the federal government, even it’s to the detriment of Albertans.
@miket136 We didn't compromise on principle in any of those deals, Michael. It meant long hours, many minds, and a willingness to stick up for Alberta taxpayers. We got the feds to move off unreasonable demands. We got the cash. Why can't this government do the same?
Another loss for #Albertans. This would save thousands in legal fees for families and reduce stress on kids involved. But Danielle again is refusing us access to funds that would improve life here cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
Incredible accomplishments from Edmonton tonight… Connor McDavid gets his 100th assist. Klim Kostin was not on the ice for a goal against despite playing 18 minutes in a 9-2 loss.
She’s strangled funding to higher education, but that isn’t enough. She will now directly interfere with research if it doesn’t align with her donors beliefs. This is becoming progressively more dangerous.
"Stop trying to do my job," says Alberta premier after announcing plan to block federal funding. "Keeping Albertans hungry and homeless is MY job. Mine, mine, MINE!"

@maxfawcett If you don’t need it, don’t use it. It’s not that serious.
@maxfawcett My friend lost his prostate to cancer and dribbles all the time and wears a pad. My guess would be he’d use the machine.
To UCP: if you don’t want to actually help anyone, could you stop throwing sticks in the wheels of those who actually do? You OWE millions $$ to Alberta municipalities, and, given your incompetence and your dishonesty no one is going to ‘just give you the money’.
@PfParks And they need to bring their own water, maybe a lake.
