“I just don’t understand why we’re cutting without defining what it is that we want to do and what we need,” said Pam Isfeld

Sweet summer child. This is neoliberalism and austerity. What in the world, makes you think our country cares about substantive foreign policy beyond trade maxing.

Similar to America. The UCP and their bootlicking sycophants are destroying any chance of keeping up with the rest of the modern world.

People won't care until they are personally affected and unfortunately, those people affected the most.. don't have a voice.

REMINDER:
The only reason Calgary survives under the similar constraints as Edmonton yet manages a lower property tax is because they've dipped into their savings.

The province is starving everyone.

You know what would help? Taxing the wealthy and Corps properly.

While cities across North America struggle with housing shortages, Edmonton is proving that zoning reform works.

In 2025, for the first time in history, the number of homes permitted in 5-8 unit rowhomes surpassed detached homes. 🧵

Edmonton’s zoning reform is working. In 2025, newly legalized eight-home rowhomes drove a record increase in homebuilding, achieved by redeveloping only 0.39% of properties in mature neighbourhoods.

My god. Just made a really disturbing discovery in my research for today's video. Filming ASAP. But the impunity is making me feel ill, truly.
I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations.

So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them.

I plan to publish my video on this tomorrow, detailing the companies, contract amounts and purposes.
Following this exclusive (and excellent) piece from David, I've contacted the federal government to ask if they intend to continue subsidizing JSI Telecom in the future.

I've also contacted JSI Telecom for comment, adding them to the list of Canadian businesses working with ICE who I've contacted.
