10% on oil. 25% on most of the rest it sounds like.

Overall expected to affect 16k Alberta jobs and about 1B in govt revenue if it sticks.

Hope all understands and it important to protect ourselves and the peaceful sky. Hope we can reach 5% NATO defence budget.

The Green Line is a disaster, and we have Danielle Smith and Devin Dreeshen to thank for it.

I'll catch you up:

• The province funds less than 30% of the total project costs. Despite being a minority funder, they throw a temper tantrum about aspects of the project they don't like and threaten to withhold their funding.
• All of this happens despite previous commitments to honour their funding. Smith and Dreeshen, in their infinite wisdom, refuse to consider their own government's study on the project that validated the downtown option.
• The province drops a wildly risky alternative that has almost no cost assurance and forever damages Calgary's downtown. Then - as a minority funder - they demand that Council accepts without conditions. Oh - they also refuse to put any additional cash forward for cost escalation or legal risks. And guess what? There will be a lot of both.

Listen - I don't blame Council for voting for this. The Green Line is so important for our city. But why are we letting this horrible provincial government get away with this? They elbow their way to the front of the discussion and want all of the benefits without any of the risk. What kind of partnership is that?

The functional study for this new version of downtown will likely be back sometime in 2027. By then we should know just how much more this will cost, and how much more we will have to cover off the backs of Calgarians alone.

Guess what else is in 2027? The next provincial election. And I hope Calgarians don't forget this. For the foreseeable future any extra infrastructure cash the City spends will be covering overruns for the province's disastrous alternative. And that is the fault of this Premier and Transportation Minister. You know else who it is the fault of? Every other UCP MLA in Calgary who refused to fight for their city. We can't keep letting them get away with this - Calgary, remember.

Hey everyone, GA has ended funding for three Disability organizations who do their work for less than $425,000. Here’s a letter you can click on to tell them to reinstate the funding. TIA https://win.newmode.net/keepyourwordhonourthecontractswithdisabilityadvocacygroups

I gave birth to my older son via a vacuum birth and my second son as a c-section. Only follow ups involved checking for infections.

Yet, I broke a bone in my ankle, walked on it for a week before I learned it was broken and was given six sessions of physical therapy paid for through Alberta Health Services.

France provides its mothers with 10 - 20 PT sessions for pelvic floor reb following child birth.

Please sign this petition to tell Danielle Smith that we expect more from her, from our leaders.

With trump looking to impose ridiculous tariffs on Canada, this is an attack on our energy sector in Alberta.

Thoughts on this... How about we team up with China and build refineries in Canada, data centers, etc and export all our energy, lumbar and products to Asia? Forget about having to deal with the US at all and send stuff down there since they president hates us. 75% of our current exports goto the USA so we are way too dependent on them being a customer...we need to diversify away from them and not let 1 country decimate our own economy.

Edit. For those saying this is not a good idea have not provided any other solution and are most likely dumb MAGAs and somehow think our 75% of current exports are acceptable. Obviously very dumb people.

For those suggesting the EU instead, that's a great idea actually. Let's team up with EU, Mexico and Asia.

Curious, since there is such a polorization between people who love her, and hate her. I'd like to hear why on both accounts.

After his talks at the world economic forum, it's obvious he wants international companies to build plants in the US, to boost the American labor force. Canadian plants in the US could mean that the tariffs matter way less than the 25% scarecrow he is erecting.

What do you think?

If other countries take the bait and start building in the US, they are probably going to need more land, ergo he is trying to get Canada to join the US.

If everyone bites but Canada doesn't, we would be forced to join eventually, after going through some economic decline.

Economically, it makes sense in that light, but socially (culturally), I don't know.

What do you think?

Strange over the mission creep years of , the narratives of stealing nurses and unions being societies freeloaders somehow is quiet
