I think it's time to jump ship.
Few things concern me more than the weakening of traditional media and the spread of misinformation by bad faith actors.
X is part of the problem.

Absolutely no good comes of this weekend.
Complete government tyranny. And everyone will go along with it.
Adjusting their clocks, without questioning why, despite dump trucks of evidence proving it is bad for us.
There is a drastic need for housing in Calgary and @HomeSpaceyyc is doing fantastic work in trying to meet that need. Still more to be done but these are needed projects.
HomeSpace breaks ground on one of two transitional housing projects, that when complete, will provide housing for 52 families in northeast Calgary. Currently 291 families are on a waiting list for transitional housing in the city.

.@AbDanielleSmith will have to live with the responsibility for all harm and tragedies this law will cause.
Couple of years ago, Danielle brought up her own transgender niece and swore that she’d never do this.
She did. For a leadership win.

“This is garbage. The whole thing is garbage. We should not be having this debate. It is not our jurisdiction and if we don’t push back against this provincial government to do their job themselves, they’ll never do it,” said @JyotiGondek before the motion was defeated. #ableg
NEW: Calgary council is putting the decision on whether to close the Supervised Consumption Site in the Beltline back on the province.

This seems problematic.
Oilsands companies want to transport carbon pollution through a 400-km pipeline and bury it in rural Alberta. Yesterday, the energy regulator said it won't require an environmental assessment. Here are 5 questions being asked by locals along the route. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-pathwa…

Independent journalism is not impartial on democracy. Democracy is the precondition of its existence. It is aggressively fucking partial on this subject. If an outlet does not advocate for its continuation, it loses the right to be considered an independent newspaper.

We mourn the tragic death of the iconic mother grizzly bear known as Grizzly 399. She was killed in a vehicle collision in Wyoming. Her death is yet another example how the loss of habitat connectivity threatens grizzly recovery in the Lower 48.

For those not inclined to read the full article... a reminder that Chu took a photo of the mayor's licence plate at City Hall and it then appeared online.
It is unfathomable to me that he is still a councillor and that he can serve as deputy mayor.

Smith could've ran for the empty Calgary-Elbow seat but chose not to.
She would've lost.
Premier Danielle Smith, facing demands from Opposition New Democrats to call a byelection in Lethbridge, is in turn putting pressure on NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi to set his sights on a legislature seat.
