I hope this is true. But it brings back my core criticism of this government. They don’t care or think much about actual governing. They are focused only on the fight they want to have on any given day, not on the impact on real people.

Confirmed. After one day of wtf backlash, province is backtracking on this cut to low-income transit passes.

Canadians everywhere should fight for the equality, dignity and safety of their neighbours. Especially in our own province of Alberta. I'm so proud to see these Canadian artists lending their voices to stand up for the basic rights of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

As you know, only Chief Sampson can give you orders under a State of Local Emergency. So, I’m STRONGLY SUGGESTING you all go for a walk today. Outside is not closed and the weather is perfect. Get out, say hi to everyone you see. Ask how they’re doing - we’re in this together.

This past weekend, there were multiple disgusting incidents of hatred, specifically against the LGBTQ2S+ community. Hate will never win. Not here. Not in Calgary. There is no tolerance for this behaviour. It’s on us, more now than ever, to show what Calgarians are made of.
