People should be free to worship, work and walk our streets without fear. The attack in Edinburgh is disturbing. Violence in our streets is bad enough but reports indicate some of the victims were targeted because they were Muslim. This is abhorrent.
I am glad police acted swiftly. The victims and their families deserve justice, and the public must have confidence that the law applies equally to everyone.

250,000+ girls raped in the UK with no justice for them. People will get mad if the establishment doesn’t take action.

@JonFraserTF @TimHortons Its why we use McDs, next to trendy independent shops.

You had one job @TimHortons.
So I had my ex brother-in-law and sister-in-law stay over last night. Still two of my best friends after 40 years despite divorcing my ex-wife.
I don't hold judgment for the fact that they are still loyal to Tim's and actually like their coffee 🤷
So this morning we walked the block to my local Tim's, which I have never set foot in before. Ordered a decaf for my ex sister-in-law and they didn't have any. It's not that it wasn't made yet, but they didn't have any in the building.
@TimHortons - you have one primary job - coffee. If you can't even do that right, then you deserve to have Dunkin Donuts kick your ass.

As soon as a white man attacks Muslims, police acknowledge that it’s done by a white man, but if it’s the other way around, there is no description of suspects. Why?

People living in downtown Calgary bitching about the 10 day Calgary Stampede party are akin to people who move next to airports and bitch about the noise of the airplanes.
The Stampede was there first.

@SnafuAB Details were not released. No public consultation was completed until after the deal was signed.

Dear newcomers to Calgary. Grow a spine.
Its a festival with a century old tradition
Rob Anderson@FreeAlbertaRob
Come on @JeromyYYC and Calgary Council…let’s not mess up a world renowned Calgary music festival over a few late nights in early July. Surely there’s a better way.

A buddy of mine pays over $200k in taxes to CRA plus almost $10k in property taxes, $8k auto insurance $6k electric and gas bill for the home, after researching the USA 🇺🇸, he's now considering moving to the USA 🇺🇸.
Canada 🇨🇦 is destroying our future with excessive taxes.

Zarina’s husband cut her ears off.
90% of women in Afghanistan experience domestic violence.
But in Canadian schools, Muslim culture is seen as good and western culture as bad.

@herncosta @SueAnnLevy The immigrants send millions home without paying a tax.
English
@SueAnnLevy Hey, I didn't know they made people pay it either until Gad brought it up, but come on. Everyone has to pay capital gains tax when they sell assets or when they die. Can you imagine all the immigrants getting away from it by just going back home?

Christi:
1. You are lying.
2. I consulted with 4 accountants and discovered few specialize in cross border accounting rules
3. The exit tax rules are very complex.
4. I did not know about it until I started doing research on the E2 Visa for a story and for my own purposes.
5. You’ll say anything to cover for your honey, Carney.
Christi 🇨🇦@misschristijo
How did a guy with a PhD think he could avoid capital gains tax? I don’t have a PhD and I know that I’d have to pay them if I sold off my assets and moved to another country. Thought people with degrees were smart

@SnafuAB Cowboys moved to this new location last year in a secretive deal with The City with no consultation with residents. Ending music by midnight during the week makes sense.

5 injured in bloody machete rampage by maniac allegedly targeting Muslims in Scotland trib.al/siUYT9d
English
Absolutely appalling.
No one should face violence on our streets. The suspect appears to be motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. I will not tolerate this - he will face the full force of the law.
My thoughts are with those who are injured and I thank the police and the emergency services for their response.

@NeonBean72 @x this is a violent threat, and a violation of this platfom's community guidelines.
English
Absolutely.
Those against the music should shut up.
Danielle Smith@ABDanielleSmith
Looks like the fun police have struck again in Calgary, this time targeting the Calgary Stampede music scene. By reducing allowable noise levels and shutting shows down early on weeknights, the city will negatively affect hundreds of workers and create additional public safety and crowd-management problems due to guests leaving in a shorter timeframe. Many major festivals and entertainment districts across North America successfully operate without these types of restrictions. Stampede is one of Calgary's signature events, attracting hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors who come to enjoy the attractions, live music, and the unique energy of our city. The Mayor and Council should work with bylaw to reconsider these restrictions and work with festival operators to find a solution that balances community concerns with the economic and cultural benefits these events bring to Calgary.

@SnafuAB @tleehumphrey @GadSaad Everyone else in Canada has to pay taxes on capital gains, why should he be treated any differently ?
English
Another example, this time by @GadSaad that demonstrates just how subjective your Charter Rights are.
Section 6 is pretty definitive when you read it yet, when CV19 came along our domestic travel rights (Atlantic Bubble) were restricted with ease by the Premiers & supported by the courts & if you decide to become a non resident of Canada, it costs you a fortune for the privilege of leaving. #Crazy
Gad Saad@GadSaad
I decide to leave Quebec/Canada because: 1) the taxation system is astounding, rendering it nearly impossible to accumulate enough money to truly retire 2) the government's open immigration policies have made it unsafe for my family to remain here (due to the exponential increase in Jew-hatred). Today I found out that I shall have to pay a departure tax for exercising my right to leave, and the money that will be taken from me (because the obscene amount of taxes that I've already paid in full is not enough) will be given to new incoming immigrants who hate Jews. My taxes funded my forced exit and will fund the harassment of any remaining Jews in Canada. It would take me 10+ more years of work to save the amount that is likely to be taken via the departure tax. Is this moral? Ethical? Just? In any case, off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.

@j_jrea @kim_tyers I lived in Calgary almost 40 yrs.
My aunt lived in Bridgeland almost 40 years old and walked ro thr Stampede..
My great grandparents lived in Victira Park until 1983 when she died. She loved the Stampede, the music
Maybe move to the country if you hate the noise.

@SnafuAB @kim_tyers Now let’s do, how long have YOU lived in Calgary and do you currently live in Downtown West where people are being impacted?
