back in the summer this city felt safe. now I can't walk down the street without seeing a skeleton, pumpkin with a face, things of this nature. it's just sad to watch the city I love fall apart.

Also getting a first look at the bill (we get advanced info under embargo but not the actual text):

The notwithstanding clause would allow the govt to override the Charter, the Alberta Bill of Rights and the Alberta Human Rights Act.

You may recall UCP members pushed hard to bolster the BoR.

This op-ed from the CEO of the Calgary Affordable Housing Foundation is spot-on.

We need to build a city for people, and that means all people who live in our city.

Truly affordable, subsidized housing changes lives, and we must build more, now 1/

This article on on NYC landlords unable to pay their expenses gives a foretaste of what I suspect the pushback to a rent freeze is going to look like. www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/07/b...

Rent Freeze Proposal Chills Cash-Starved Owners of Bronx Buildings

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s pledge is raising alarms as bankers refuse to finance regulated buildings where costs outstrip income.

“The Revolt of the Pedestrians” is set in the future after humans divide into two species – the pedestrians and automobilists. Automobilists have shrunken legs from always using automobiles or powered chairs called autocars.

fluoride is set to return to Calgary's water supply in March of this year. if you have new-age friends, please check in on them. how are their pineal glands doing? do they have enough rainwater storage?
