Alberta Street News is an important chapter in AB journalism. Founder/publisher/editor (& poet, artist, yoga teacher, etc!) Linda Dumont has died & her strong voice is gone albertastreetnews.org
Because we know that Smith will be jumping on a short clip being circulated... Here's 6:33 of the President of BC Association of Chiefs of Police @FionaWilsonVPD making it clear people are not dying because of safe supply that you should retweet. /1 #abpoli #cdnpoli #BCpoli
Lack of housing, both market and non-market, requires smart solutions from all orders of government. I’m appalled that the UCP government is using politics to block funding from reaching municipalities in the middle of a housing crisis. As Premier, I will work with all orders…
Good to hear @shoffmanAB outline good commitments on #housing today- details--sarahhoffman.ca/housing #ABLEg
The loser "leaders" of AB gov't haven't a word to say about 48 deaths of children/youth in care/intervention dying but time for this. Pathetic. #ABLeg alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…
We should be shamed & angry at Child & Youth Advocate update- knowing 12 of 48 young people dead or seriously injured were in care, 20 receiving child intervention services & 16 received services within previous 2 yrs? Very bad #ABLeg
Get your tickets now- space is limited #yegevents eventbrite.com/e/yeg-marimba-…
I blame content of @edmontonpolice Dawson Park video- & worse, much death & suffering- on AB & Cdn govt long refusal to fund #housing & services, not the victims of this cruelty #homelessness #ABLeg #cdnpoli
Surviving Edmonton is now on YouTube. @GlobalEdmonton @globalnews Stream here: youtu.be/JEfiZN-HYko?si…
Does AB gov't care about more #homelessness? #yeg & #yyc have biggest rent increases in Canada & provincial budget has $$ for a whole 550 more rent supps while 1000s need & wait #ABLeg
Sounds like courts agreed such a case is needed given City actions but still making litigants pay. #yegcc keeps assaulting campers AND gets to have justice advocates pay #homelessness cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
This is super! "Housing is a fundamental human right, our core social foundation. As such, housing intrinsically integrates the challenges of both social and environmental justice. Yet its current trajectory, defined by financialisation, extraction and inequality, mitigates…

The Alberta legislature continues to debate Bill 205 today — a crucial opportunity to preserve affordability & prevent rent gouging by placing a limit on rent increases. We hope the legislature will support the bill & protect Alberta's renters. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column… #abpoli

Homeless Edmontonians are being criminalized for open substance use by the very same people and organizations advocating for open alcohol use. The difference is class. This city and its governance is disgusting me like never before.
“Edmonton is one step closer to getting an entertainment district on Rice Howard Way, allowing alcohol consumption along the street, within the designated area.” From @ZacharyDelaney #yeg #yegcc #yegdt edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

Great followup on a disturbing Edmonton case. (Also, it strikes me as a weird quirk of the Canadian justice system that someone can fail to show up for sentencing after being convicted of threatening an MLA, and no photo of that person is made public.)

Here’s a radical idea: 100 years of War on Drugs has proved we can’t jail our way out of substance abuse. It has wasted $billions & hurt millions of people. Criminalizing a health issue and driving folks to organized crime supply isn’t common sense - it’s wrong and ineffective.
Trudeau/NDP decriminalized public use of crack, heroin & fentanyl, which brought crime, chaos, drugs & disorder to our streets. Common sense Conservatives are calling for an emergency debate to end this radical policy and bring our loved ones home drug-free.
I’ve been out at community events over the weekend and Bill 20 came up quite often. Unsurprisingly, there was no support for this legislation as it undermines local democracy. The feedback I heard aligns with the provincial government’s own survey. #ableg #abpoli
