I went to a writing festival in Calgary and have thoughts on the experience, which is really more of a reflection over publishing in general.

With the NDP win in Calgary-Shaw, expect lying Dani to follow through with the Republic-esque gerrymandering of the city districts to ensure UCP wins next election. Conservatives cheat for power and they'll get away with it. Once it goes through changing it back is gonna be near impossible. #abpoli

Selling the house to buy the furniture.
#Breaking: The federal government will allow private ownership of four major airports — including Toronto’s Pearson, Canada’s busiest — in a move that breaks with a decades-long arrangement that saw them run by non-profits on government-owned land.

More government handouts to friends of conservatives. The UCP are corrupt to the core and shame on any of you who continue to vote conservative thinking they're 'fiscally' responsible. Shame shame shame.

Last week, Smith posted on social media that “For every $1 of taxes a guest worker generates, taxpayers are covering $10 in services.”

While this figure might ring true for many, it is far from accurate.

I fact-checked Smith’s claims in my latest for @thetyee.ca

Ahead of a divisive referendum question, we fact checked Danielle Smith’s claims.

Listen, I fully expected Carney to court the right. It's a ploy to decimate the loser Conservatives. It will make for a comfortable dynasty. But going full colonial denial praising John A MacD wasn't in my bingo card.

Cue Liberal-stans and their "unprecedented times" excuses.

Loser Councillor Johnston, the UCP man who won after trying to recall Gondek, leaked confidential City budget numbers.

Council has zero recourse because the UCP repealed the code of conduct, leaving it in the authoritarian hands of the Minister.

UCP and their people are crooked. #yyc #abpoli
Calgary city council begins the special meeting. Mayor Farkas says he doesn't believe they need to go into closed session. They're seeking legal advice after confidential preliminary budget documents were released.

Separatists constantly suggest Alberta has a unique "cowboy", "toil the land", & "rural" culture.

Reality:
- AB as urban (80% +) & diverse as rest of Canada
- AB ag industry = about 2% of total economy. Ag is 1% of Ont's
- The cowboy hat thing = just identity fashion like punk pins, blue hair...

In a functioning and free democracy it's important to REDUCE barriers to participation.

Conservatives, however, do the opposite. Their playbook is to increase BARRIERS to democracy, and every barrier implemented is a move towards authoritarianism. This happens to ensure conservatives retain POWER.

Racism in Canada is not on the rise folks. It's just out in public more and more.

Attended a writing panel with 4 white folks speaking on fascism. It pivoted to praise TJ Klune, nods all around, crowd well pleased.

What a miss.

TJ Klune's source material is the '60s Scoop. A deeply racist and painful legacy in Canadian history. He doesn't care (nor do the readers). 🙄 #booksky

'Terminal lucidity' or 'end-of-life-rally', that's how I would describe the US stock market / economy right now.
The stock market is hitting all-time highs! Yet debt loads and earnings ratios hit unprecedented levels, eclipsing the Dot com bust.

The apparent reality: conservative voters in Alberta will have to experience the devastating impacts of private healthcare before they would ever consider changing their vote.

AI searches/use are 10x more energy intense than a regular search. Use -ai in your Google searches as a routine. Search like it was 2022. Also removes the pesky and often inaccurate 'AI overview'.

Stop voting conservative.
Starting July 31, Albertans will be able to pay to skip the line for diagnostic testing.

In other words, the poorer you are, the lower the chances you’ll get timely treatment—and survive.

Late in May, an ambitious master plan for the Confluence, or the 17-hectare park formerly known as Fort Calgary, was unveiled.

An Indigenous-led gathering place, however, didn’t make the cut—why?

In my latest for @thetyee.ca i write about the systemic inequalities shaping our city.

Plans are in place for a historic parkland near the Bow and Elbow Rivers, a significant space for Indigenous Peoples. Were they adequately involved in the process?

Dear Albertans,

As we celebrate Canada Day, cherish the values we hold dear, like our freedoms. Freedoms we are in danger of losing. Take seriously the grave UCP decision that passed committee yesterday: conservatives will rig the next election by gerrymandering ridings.
