Took 90 minutes to vote in the middle of the day, what the heck? Hate to see the lines for after work.

An open street isn’t just a place without cars, it’s a place with people. Music, kids playing, neighbors meeting. Streets can be more than corridors for traffic; they can be the heart of a community.

Trying to explain Calgary’s mayoral race is like trying to catch a small swarm of butterflies with your bare hands.

A vulnerable incumbent. Transformed contenders. Untested partly leaders. This race has everything but clear front-runners.

I was refreshing volts.wtf (go subscribe!) all morning because of David's teaser, and I have to say I did not expect the "so f-ing technical and nerdy" episode to be about synthetic inertia.

AISH recipients despair over province’s changes to disability programs.

“It's been made very clear that I'm a burden on this government, that they view disabled people as burdens, that we don't have any worth or value unless we're working. It’s gut-wrenching.”

It's particularly tiresome when the parties that have been in power for decades run on the everything-is-broken platform

It's always been part of the national vision.
The barriers are still there, waiting to be overcome.
But the benefits---and urgency---have grown.

Forget America; it's time to build the east-west power grid.

By me, in Macleans today:

Forget America. Build an East-West Power Grid. - Macleans.ca

For decades, we've prioritized electrical trade with the United States. It's time to reduce our dependence on them.

"They'll need elements to all line up in their favour to rack up multiple wins here, in a city which has been represented by a grand total of three Liberals MPs in all elections since the 1970s."

Wowza! Political trivia nerds, read Jason's article.

Astonishing fact I found while researching Liberal fortunes in Calgary:
If George Chahal wins re-election in Cal-McKnight, he’ll be the first two-term Calgary Liberal MP … ever.

ANALYSIS | Red ripple in blue Calgary? Liberals eye record gains in Conservative stronghold | CBC News

Calgary has never elected more than two Liberals at once. With Trudeau gone, party hoping for record-breaking success in Conservative heartland.
