One day later, Alberta restores funding for low-income transit in Edmonton and Calgary Read More: edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… #abpoli #yeg
Working on a motion to move Blatchford development much, much faster. Blatchford lands are a prime location with major infrastructure investments. Expediting sales of land and the subsequent development will add to the city budget now and with ongoing sustainability. #yegcc
"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
Confirmed. After one day of wtf backlash, province is backtracking on this cut to low-income transit passes.

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.

Bill 20: Municipalities warn Alberta ban on electronic vote counters will cost taxpayers 'millions' edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/… via @ByMatthewBlack #abpoli #ableg
NEWS: Edmonton police have released photos of a “person of interest” in the suspicious fire that destroyed Hangar 11. No indication he’s a suspect but police believe he might have relevant info. #yeg
Same Alberta government, 7 months apart.
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…

More cuts from the province. More expenses downloaded onto the people. Are folks seeing this yet?

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.
All of this is somewhat #yegcc insider baseball, but speaks to a lot of tension among the group over high taxes, Bill 20 and other things. But this particular foray by Principe and Rice felt desperate and badly mishandled. Poor procedural timing, if nothing else.

The coalition for democracy is very diverse. I hope it's growing and getting active.
Thank goodness this has been reversed. Making the right decision, even if it shouldn’t have been needed to be fixed in the first place, is still a good thing. But there absolutely needs to be a review about how the initial decision was made. #ableg #abpoli #yegcc #yyccc
Today Edmontonians won, over a decision that would have harmed our neighbours … over the price of a bus ticket. Hearts, heads, and voices in unity. You inspire me. Thank you.
You'll hear in our discussion with the City Manager on Friday that this cut wasn't a surprise. They've been seeking clarity on this item since budget time. They were in communication with the province. The province knew about the harm of these cuts, and did them anyway.
How much do we pay these idiots? Life long politicians who have never held a normal job in their life, acting like children on our dime. I am so sick of the state of politics in this World and the politicians who can't simply act with the decorum, demeanour and humility to serve…
CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre got kicked out of the House of Commons for a back and forth with the speaker, after calling the PM a “whacko.” CPC MP Rachael Thomas was kicked out earlier for calling the speaker a disgrace #cdnpoli
The story remains the same: conservative provinces deliberately breaking things and then weaponizing the public's anger over things being broken.
Wacko-gate is neither an egregious sin against decorum nor is it a heroic victory for democracy. It's more tepid political theater that has replaced policy as the key priority for all federal parties.
Hey, remember when the Smith government told Alberta Health to stop talking about the benefits of flu vaccination? Yeah, about that:

@keithgerein Goodbye to getting better direct flight to/from Yeg.
Nothing better than a fan base that absolute hates their 11 million a year guy cuz he’s soft, doesn’t show up when it counts and generally sucks but also thinks that same guy should get them a kings ransom from each and every other team in the league no questions asked.
Western Standard, the Cgy-based conservative news outlet launched by an ex-MLA, has begun using AI illustrations for opinion pieces and iiiiiiit's something.
@ryanjespersen It has been my experience from covering municipal politics for a good part of my career that consensus is the most effective way of ensuring healthy functioning of local gov't. To that end, there is little room for political parties and their reliance on compromise to succeed.
Great followup on a disturbing Edmonton case. (Also, it strikes me as a weird quirk of the Canadian justice system that someone can fail to show up for sentencing after being convicted of threatening an MLA, and no photo of that person is made public.)
Police aren't looking for a man who skipped his sentencing related to a violent threat against @albertaNDP MLA @MarlinSchmidtAB. Police themselves have said this man is dangerous. Why Isn't This Menacing Extremist in Custody? via @TheTyee thetyee.ca/News/2024/04/2…
I take it back, this very much does not suck x.com/jsjamato/statu…
Happy Sean is doing this on his terms but this sucks! Absolute pro, few who are smarter and kinder at a scene. Insane career breaking news stats, if there were such things.
I fully agree with Premier @ABDanielleSmith (from two years ago) where she states the hyper-partisan system is very flawed. So why is the provincial government looking to introduce more partisanship into local democracy? #ableg #abpoli
And this is why I support @the_lineca. I often disagree with @Justin_Ling but he’s a hell of a writer and journalist. For @jengerson and @mattgurney to send him to @Columbia is pure genius. open.substack.com/pub/theline/p/…
It’s interesting how Minister @RicMcIver continues to reference the mask bylaw as a reason to introduce this legislation. It is interesting because former Premier Kenney asked municipalities to make that decision because they didn’t want to. #ableg #abpoli
