@511Alberta can the Province please get some plows out on Deerfoot southbound between Country Hills Blvd and downtown? It's a gong show out there.

@xLanceBryantx @JeromyYYC That's not how property taxes are calculated. The only way that would matter is if your property value increased but nobody else's did. The value of your property compared to all other properties is used as a ratio to calculate your share. That's it.

This is obscene. The kicker is that the worst of it was the over all property value increase also plays a huge part of the increases. I guess I should be happy that my property doubled in value over the last 10 years. Right? except I don't plan to sell and I don't want to move... My tax bill basically tripled over the course of 10 years. Thanks Alberta! Thanks Canada! Thanks Calgary!

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history. In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes directly to the Province, and the City is legally required to collect this massive tax increase. For a typical $706,000 home: 🔺 Province: +$339 🔹 City: +$49 We did our work to restrain spending while focusing on safety and core infrastructure. The City’s increase is 1.81%. The total increase is about $388, with the overwhelming majority driven by the Province. Check your estimate at calgary.ca/taxcalculator.

@trevortombe What has this spending rise gone towards? I can't think of any capital projects

AB royalty reliance up in 2026. Need ~27% of budget to come from resources to balance, or $4.3k/person. A comparison: Kenney (ex covid): $3.1k (adj for inf.) Notley: $3.5k Redford/etc: $3.1k Stelmach: $4k Klein: $2k Getty: $4.9k <- we're back here🚨 Lougheed: $4.2k #ableg

@DHSgov @nytimes Except... Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says share.google/SNqK6YoNfBObDP…

Unbelievably manipulative and false article from @NYTimes. These claims that detainees, including individuals with HIV, are denied medication is false. Not only was the medication provided, but ICE provides COMPREHENSIVE medical, dental, and mental health care from the moment an alien enters custody – INCLUDING 24/7 access to emergency care. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a maximum priority. All detainees are provided with proper meals, water, medical treatment, have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Along with this, all detainees receive full due process and are NEVER denied emergency care. Heidy Loja, mentioned in the article, was lawfully arrested by @ICEgov. She was released following an order by an activist judge. The two illegal immigrants who passed away at the Camp East Montana detention facility, Geraldo Lunas Campos and Victor Manuel Diaz, were both provided with emergency medical care. Campos, a criminal illegal alien and convicted child sex predator, attempted to take his own life while he was detained at the Camp East Montana detention facility. The security staff immediately intervened to save his life, but Campos violently resisted the security staff and continued to attempt to take his life. During the ensuing struggle, Campos stopped breathing and lost consciousness. Medical staff was immediately called and repeatedly attempted to resuscitate him. EMTs declared him deceased on the scene. This is still an active investigation, and more details are forthcoming. Victor Manuel Diaz, a 36-year-old illegal alien from Nicaragua, was found unconscious and unresponsive in his room by contract security staff at Camp East Montana. They immediately notified contract medical staff on site to conduct life saving measures. He died of a presumed suicide; however, the official cause of his death remains under investigation. We make official notifications to Congress, nongovernmental organization stakeholders and the media upon official reports of in-custody alien deaths and posts news releases with relevant details on ICE’s public website. We are committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments. The deceitful narrative that the media pushes cannot withstand the facts of each case.

@SweenieJohn @RonSFriedman @ABDanielleSmith Even if it wasn't, you can't tell me kids aren't seeing F*Trudeau stickers on trucks every day at drop off & pick up.

I am deeply disappointed by what is heard in this recording. Teachers have a duty to remain professional and politically neutral in the classroom. Students are there to learn math, language, science and critical thinking based on the approved curriculum, not to be subjected to profanity, partisan attacks, or insults toward Alberta’s ethical energy workers and their families. Our classrooms must be places of respect where every student, and every family, feels welcome regardless of their political views or where they work.

@RonSFriedman @deep_6ix @ABDanielleSmith You realize politics is literally part of social studies, right?

@deep_6ix @ABDanielleSmith The teacher can say whatever he wants on his free time when his is not working. But the taxpayer pays him to teach the curriculum without preaching politics in class. If he can't do his job he should be fired.

@ABDanielleSmith " where every student, and every family, feels welcome regardless of their political views or where they work"... unless they're females over 12, gay, trans, disabled, poor, or not a family of UCP voters, it seems.

@JohnTom77396282 @markusoff To be permanently enraged.

@markusoff Then what does the base want?

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause. She told them that this proved Canada work well for Alberta: loud boos. This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

@patrickhenryone @OrphWettenhall @maxfawcett 😂

@OrphWettenhall @maxfawcett They always find something to whine about. But after 30 years of watching politics, here’s what I’ve learned: Liberals attack reputation and character. It’s always some sneer like, “Eww, his plane “ Conservatives focus on policy. Maybe that’s why we lose more often.

My god, people. It's not the use of planes that's Trumpy. It's putting your name ALL OVER the plane that is. Notice how it says "Liberal", not "Carney"? Now go look at the CPC plane and compare the size of Poilievre's name to the party.

@A19841776 @TheBreakdownAB Treaty land literally is most of Alberta.

@n_droo_yu_el My favourite from the engagement was the mention of 3 LRT stations "within walking distance", but they're not actually on the map, and GL isn't coming north anytime in the next decade, let alone as far as Aurora.

My favorite map from tonight’s Final Draft if the Aurora ASP… Where could we find Historic and Potential Historic Resources in this development? How bout… all of it… 🤦‍♂️ Might need to pause and rethink on this one. #SaveNoseCreek #SNChistory #yyc #yyccc

@chrisparsons350 @n_droo_yu_el @Spencerfor12 @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot Google?

@caboraggly @n_droo_yu_el @Spencerfor12 @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot Do we have access to that study?

@SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc Whats @commfirstyyc plan for the North? Cuz Green Line isn’t it. Cllr @cllrandrechabot said that the transit capacity issues are in the North in his close today, NOT the SE. 44% of bus overloads city-wide occur on route 3 and 301 up Centre Street. This alignment is shortsighted.

@chrisparsons350 @n_droo_yu_el @Spencerfor12 @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot The BRT study was done before GL became a train. That's why it became a train - for capacity in the north. BRT wasn't going to cut it for long enough for the investment needed.

@n_droo_yu_el @caboraggly @Spencerfor12 @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot Until I'm shown a sincere study showing that a BRT with dedicated lanes and downtown solution 100% doesn't work, I'm not going to buy the story that "this has already been studied and doesn't work." Dedicated lanes, some dt 180, priority signals, pack it full of busses, cycle it

@lm_michell70712 @BobbyBGood @CanadianPolling Lol. The Telegraph and lots of UK Cons. Like anyone trusts them.

@chrisparsons350 @Spencerfor12 @n_droo_yu_el @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot They did add buses. It grts to a point where you literally can't anymore because of the capacity of the roads downtown. That point was reached over a decade ago.

@caboraggly @Spencerfor12 @n_droo_yu_el @SonyaSharpYYC @commfirstyyc @cllrandrechabot Do you not just keep adding busses until you get the quality of service you want? That coupled with bus only lanes and pull out stations surely gives NC adequate transit they have been asking for. At capacity doesn't make sense to me. Add 20, 50, 100 busses until it works.

@john_cyclesmart @DKTPH @stphnmaher 1. You're ignoring the *facts*. Don't worry, they'll come out in court. The discovery alone should be fascinating. 2. Where did I say anything about anyone being the best of a bad bunch? Oh, that's right, I didn't.

@caboraggly @DKTPH @stphnmaher You do know that this is Once upon a time… And even then sometimes being the best of a bad bunch is not the brag you think it is.

Danielle Smith is in trouble. This looks bad.

@EyeEyeEyeCanada @JSJamato Who then? Nobody else is doing anything. If this had been the NDP, the UCP would be calling for jail cells & an election.

@JSJamato Maybe Nenshi shouldn’t be leading the effort

The Alberta NDP is calling for the premier and ministers LaGrange and Williams to "step aside" while allegations reported by the Globe & Mail are investigated. NDP want RCMP, ethics commissioner, auditor general to probe, as well as a judicial lead public inquiry. #ableg #cdnpoli

@DKTPH @stphnmaher The facts are in the article. This info has been revealed over many months and this is just the first time it's all together in one place.

@stphnmaher AB has the best performing health care system in the country. Perhaps there is another side of this story and that reform is hard and organized labour is bigger - and louder - than the government sometimes. This needs daylight for sure and should be a story, but facts first.

@citizen2021 @TheBreakdownAB @DianeMariePosts It's not the Healthcare system (AHS) that's to blame here. It's Alberta Health and the Premier's office, which is the government. #UCPcorruption

@TheBreakdownAB @DianeMariePosts Alberta voters, this is a very stinky story. You should know the truth about your HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

Over the coming days and weeks, people in the public eye, in the media and most importantly elected office are truly going to show who they are. Pay very close attention. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
