Hello Alberta!

Did you know that 211 is a 24 hour sexual violence survivor support line?

You can call any time for help coping with the aftermath of, or getting out of gender-based violence or similarly dangerous situations.

Today’s MOU is a win for Calgary, Alberta, and Canada. It supports investment and new export routes while recognizing energy in all its forms — oil and gas, renewables, hydrogen, and more. Grateful for the PM and Premier’s cooperation. Full statement: #yyccc
Today is a win for Calgary, for Alberta, and for all of Canada. Today’s Memorandum of Understanding is welcome news for Calgary and for everyone across Canada whose livelihoods rely on Alberta’s energy industry. My thanks to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith for advancing an agreement that supports investment and, critically, new export routes for Canadian energy. As Calgary’s mayor, I see every day how essential this industry is, not only to our downtown and our economy, but to the prosperity it creates across the country. And as we diversify into tech, finance, and emerging sectors, we must continue to own energy in all its forms: oil and gas, renewables, hydrogen, critical minerals, and the innovations that help us address climate challenges while keeping our economy strong. After years of feeling overlooked at the national level, it is encouraging to see real progress and cross-partisan cooperation.

The current Public Mobile BF deals are pretty weak compared to what I already have, from BF last year. 👎

I went through and looked at every single provider in Canada I could find and tossed them into the comments under this post on FB: www.facebook.com/cmcalgary/po...

Deals this year kind of suck.
Screenshot of the current Public Mobile black Friday deals, and my current subscription. I'm paying $35/mo for 50 GB 5G data. The current offer from PM for $35/mo is 10 GB (lol)

Google Pixel 9 and 10 are on sale for BF. About 20-30% off each of them. $500 for a Pixel 9a seems like good deal? I use a 9 Pro XL but it's probably a nice upgrade if you have an older Android device.
