1/ For too long, conversations about our economy have focused on what we might lose, and not on what we can build.

Alberta has always been a province of innovators and problem-solvers.

Just a reminder…

While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare…

The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy.

It’s poverty.

This is probably the best thing I've read on Calgary's new mayor and his path from "ideological jackassery" to top job. ("Has Farkas actually changed??" has been a BIG talker here lately.) If you're interested in Alberta, new Hub staffer Falice Chin is as sharp as it gets. thehub.ca/2025/10/22/w...

Will the real Jeromy Farkas please stand up? Calgary’s mayor-elect rides his new centrist identity to victory

Let’s say that historic dinger was not enough for you to become a card-carrying member of the George Springer Fan Club. Perhaps you’ll be enticed by this clip he posted at a moment of peak visibility raising awareness about the disability he shares with many kids www.instagram.com/reel/DQHSApG...

This #InternationalStutteringAwarenessDay, we wanted to share this inspiring message from our friend and long-time @sayorg + #CampSAY Spokesman, @georgespringer. Thank you, George, for always being an incredible role model — whether you’re supporting young people who stutter and showing them how to go for their dreams, or you’re blasting a three-run homer out of the park in the seventh inning of Game 7 of the ALCS to send the @bluejays to the World Series 💥⚾️ ❤️ You’re a hero in every sense of the word! The SAY community is rooting for you and couldn’t be more proud and grateful. #stuttering #georgespringer #sayorg #isad

Smith: We've tried bribing parents, adding strike toolkits and launched a taxpayer-funded ad campaign to undermine teachers, but public opinion doesn't seem to be coming to our side.

In which the Premier's right-hand man blames both immigrants and the federal government for the strains and stresses in the education system his government is supposed to run.

Hey, remember the "Alberta is Calling" campaign? The one that brought many thousands of people to Alberta? I sure do.

“Feeling unsafe at the sight of poverty isn’t of our individual making, it is a structural issue produced and reproduced by narratives that exploit our middle-class fears to enact policies that appear to benefit the public good.”🎯

Superb read, especially before going to vote, but every damned day.

Ximena González @ximenaka.bsky.social · 4d

Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?

In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.

Are you afraid of poverty?

Why responding to middle-class fears won’t make Calgary a more equitable city

The Toronto Blue Jays have forced Game 7 after a 6-2 win over Seattle.

And I’ll be there for it tomorrow night at the Dome. Flight in the morning from

Teachers are still on strike. Parents are struggling. Kids are caught up in the middle.

Tonight, Amanda and I are sitting down to talk about the impact of this strike on Albertan families across the province.
