Sir not only you are arguing with a bin, you also lost to the bin.
To be clear, I think it would be foolish to interpret this as an argument in favour of rail infrastructure privatization (which is the single biggest reason Canada has such attrocious passenger rail service). Danielle Smith's abandonment of libertarianism is a good thing here.

Does @KahlonRav ever sleep? The rate this man gets legislation out is more than everyone else in the government combined, how is he doing it and why is no one else.

@RachaelThomasMP Your very own riding has adopted the CPC Opioid policy and has the very highest opioid death rate in the country (and more open drug use than BC) How can you watch so many young people dying in your very own community and double down on the policies you know don’t work?
"The study, led by University of Toronto researchers, found 'no consistent associations' between police funding and crime rates across 20 municipalities, including Edmonton."

This diagram is an ideal representation of the main urban transit network of a generic medium-sized city East of the Rhin and North of the Alps and, I think, one of the the key reasons of why they generally overperform in transit usage compared to anywhere else. A🧵
UCP says they're axing because transit service isn't its jurisdiction. Neither is funding roads and utility work around an arena, but Danielle Smith will fund that. Choices. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Today’s news about the provincial government’s decision to cut the low income transit passes in Calgary and Edmonton is incredibly upsetting. This pass was a way to help our neighbours. A means for everyone to actively participate in their community. It was an essential service…
NEW: Edmonton mayor Amarjeet Sohi has released this statement indicating the Government of Alberta is cutting its funding for the low income transit pass program in both Edmonton and Calgary.
Poilievre on human rights: <I’ll be elected>”….people can then make the judgments themselves on whether they think my laws are constitutional” It’s the courts that decide constitutionality, if it were left to a majority Canadians gay marriage ect wouldn’t have become law.…

This is why I feel so strongly about going straight to metro vs LRT: there are plenty of bus corridors that can be built up to the point of supporting a grade-separated system without sinking costs into infrastructure that doesn't improve access and makes future improvements hard

Hamas is a terrorist organization who knew their actions on Oct 7th would bring war. They knew they were risking the lives of millions of Palestinians for the purpose of achieving an infinitely less important political goal. So if I were at a protest and I heard this, I'd gtfo.

Dear Canada, Please, get some perspective. Learn a little about the world beyond North America. Yes, you're government is incompetent, but that's hardly tantamount to national suicide. Lots of love, Cai

Two years ago Danielle Smith was asked what she thought the BEST electoral system would be. Her response was the NON-PARTISAN municipal system where you "get elected as an independent" Watch the entire clip, the HYPOCRISY is MIND-BLOWING. #ableg #abpoli

Sorry I thought I was being clear, but maybe my phrasing was too subtle. For me, it's a terrible idea to want a PM who vows to opt out of the Charter. I simply noted that in a democracy, it's not illegal for him to promise it, or some voters to want it.
@bruceanderson You don’t see the greater danger? You haven’t connected the dots to Harper who was determined to, “destroy all liberalism in Canada”, and what he has been fostering through the IDU? He supports Orban.
@bruceanderson Many, if not most, historical attempts to suspend rights ostensibly to protect the public welfare have gone catastrophically wrong. Even when the mechanism used to so was legal.

@cai_apgwilym That is the cruelness of Hamas’ political approach; they don't care. For them, all is fair if it hurts the Israelis.
@cai_apgwilym The Israeli response has been horrendous (and also deeply unpopular in Israel itself). Netanyahu is a horrible PM and should be ousted ASAP.
@cai_apgwilym It was a cold political move in response to the rapprochement of Israelis and the Saudis that had almost nothing to do with achieving some liberation movement and everything to do with maintaining their political position within the Territories and the Arab and Muslim world.
@cai_apgwilym Similarly, most pro-Israel people forget Palestinians are not a monolith and are quite politically divided. Most of the people affected by the war are innocent. Regardless, this all means we need to get back to the table while eliminating extremists.
@cai_apgwilym People are obsessed with picking a side. Seeing one side as the good side and the other as the wrong side when the truth is extremists on both sides have derailed the peace process and now have a lot of power on both sides.
@cai_apgwilym Recreational mainly. Reading articles and books and watching endless documentaries.
@cai_apgwilym Definitely. For the rest Québec is just your average energy-intensive North-American society.
Here we go Premier @Dave_Eby Vancouver vs Edmonton. Let’s make a bet: loser has to deliver a statement in the Legislature written by the winner while wearing the other’s jersey. Deal?
Something that bugs me about this platform are the few people who decide to assume which party I support, without even bothering to look at my bio or look at my other tweets. No, I don't support the Liberals
@cselley Well actually Chris usually when you’re arrested they hold your possessions and don’t toss them in a dumpster making you unable to return to your home or buy a bus fare, because we live in a civilized society.
They’re perfectly aware of how racist it is, they just don’t care.
I have heard a few GTA area politicians say or post this quote as justification for Israel’s heavy handed response in Gaza. They seem completely unaware of how incredibly racist and dehumanizing it is - even when I have called them out on it.
This is literally what gated communities think when you suggest they should build a few apartments
Growth on nodes and corridors could (read will) still: -require infrastructure upgrades -cause traffic issues -not be more affordable -create profit for developers -not produce enough supply (esp 3+ bedroom homes) Housing is and always be a need for 'yes, and' #yyccc
There are so many reasons that the nodes and corridors approach isn't the answer to urban growth. It's not a silver bullet and has a litany of negative impacts. It can't be viewed as the answer alone, as some #yyccc cllrs would like it to be.
