Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count.

It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected.

Thank you volunteers!

Kindly repost. Thanks!
Okay, I must mention that BC and all of Canada is currently making it super easy for US medical professionals in any role to move to Canada. Huge incentives, little red tape, and lots of support for anyone who'd love to join our gorgeous peaceful country. In fact, any one would benefit living here!
Finders Keepers! (British motto)
Of course they are, just throwing blame around while they cut cut cut. I’m hoping tonight we get some hope but otherwise I’m ALL in on ending the UCP’s grip on this province.

AIRDRIE, thank you for your solid support for #ForeverCanadian movement.

Particular shoutout to the spectacular public library for hosting our petition. Thank you!
I’m sure that’s the case here in #Airdrie. Only 3 voting sites, the one at the comm centre had at least a 90 min line up. I was there for almost 2 hours (working out, already voted!) and it never changed. Huge part of the line is outside, just ridiculous for people and their waiting/bored kids.

The tide is starting to turn in downtown Calgary.

In my latest piece, i write about the sixth and latest office-to-residential conversion to reach completion, the iconic Petro Fina building, and how a combination of city-led initiatives is breathing new life into our city's core.
Downtown Calgary’s latest office-to-rental conversion begins welcoming tenants
Formerly the headquarters of Canadian Fina Oil, the 11-storey Petro Fina building has been converted into 103 apartments

I haven’t seen your posts for ages- it’s nice to you and I’m very pleased to read this piece. I have such hope for Calgary, even though “hope” in Alberta can be a tough road.
What a liar he is. Dull, dishonest and dreary. When will he just go away?

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
What? An oil exec thinks pipelines are good? Anyway…we’re cooked. Literally. I thought my son’s education was going to be expensive but I guess I’m just saving for his future water/air purchases.
If anyone is voting in #Airdrie I have a good list of progressives for you!

Sharp, McLean, Wong and others, if elected, will be responsible for more expensive deals and sprawl. Is everybody ready for MUCH higher property taxes?
Reminder:

“To build the arena, the city is putting up $853M in cash; the Flames are putting up $40M.”

I am not anti-arena, but I am 💯 anti-bad deal.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

My heart is with the family and the EMS crew, who faced unimaginable moral distress due to systemic failure. Unplanned closures are literally killing people. #RuralHealthCrisis #ABleg #ABpoli
RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #2

- Pt in their 40s, witnessed cardiac arrest
- EMS responds and begins resuscitation
- Only mins from nearest Hospital, but the ED is CLOSED
- Adjacent Hospital ED Closed too
- EMS crew NOT aware of ED closures
