I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

The number one question I get asked at the doors is why I'm running.

There's lots of things I care about - healthcare, childcare, a strong innovation & post secondary sector, social supports, growing our economy, making housing more affordable.

But why I'm running? This is why.
Trump brings up "Governor Trudeau" and says, "I have to be honest. As a state, it works great. As a nation ... why are we spending $200 billion? It doesn't make sense."

Is Calgary Confederation a "conservative riding"? What do we mean when we say Calgary Confederation is a swing riding?

The latest vote project from 338Canada has Calgary Confederation a toss up.

We've got 3 weeks. With your help, we can do this. Order a lawn sign, volunteer (coreyhogan.ca), spread the word and VOTE ON APRIL 28. Together, we win.

Confederation is worth fighting for.

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Since yesterday I was talking about Gates McFadden’s struggles to get behind the camera opportunities, it’s time for me to share a story about the Doctor and how she’s one of the reasons I’m a Professor. 🧵

When I was a kid (in the mid-1980s) my folks were friends w/the editor of the local newspaper. One day, we were at his office & he let me have my pick of the various press kits for new syndicated comic strips.

ME: "THIS one looks GREAT. The art is terrific & it's really funny."

What I keep thinking about is how much Trump’s entire premise of his presidency for many people was that he simply won’t do the stuff they don’t want him to do while doing exactly what they want him to do.
