What a read! The separatists are clowns 🤡 who couldn’t even put a circus 🎪 together
Duane Bratt🇨🇦@DuaneBratt
The Separatist drive for a utopia that exists in their imagination. Even though I am a white heterosexual male, I am undoubtedly on the deportation list. thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/…

I couldn’t keep watching Silo because I worried about the HVAC all the time

Serious question for #YIMBYTwitter: where height restrictions per se are the issue, why haven’t developers started building vertically but *down*, underground? I mean windowless apartments don’t sound ideal, but probably less bad than unaffordability and homelessness

The list of reasons it’s a bad idea to build housing deep underground is so long that you will never finish listing them, science will discover new disadvantages faster than you can update your documents

Best classroom April fools prank ever
This professor has a policy that if your phone rings in class, you must answer it on speakerphone, so the students arranged to have a friend call on April fools’ day...

Silence.
Not the romantic kind, the default kind.
No feeds, no metrics, no performative existence layered over every moment. You could build, think, disappear for six months, and come back stronger without narrating it to strangers.
The 90s rewarded output. Today rewards visibility about output. Those are not the same game.
We didn’t lose nostalgia, we lost the ability to operate without an audience.

I really miss people respecting each other's time and space. Before cell phones became widely used, people didn't expect constant or immediate communication. We were allowed to work and have lives, and get back to people when we had free time or felt like talking. Now they say "eVeRyOnE hAs A pHoNe On ThEm, iT tAkEs 5 sEcOnDs To RePLy"
Okay well maybe I'm not in the mood to be on my phone? Maybe I'm doing something that requires total focus? Maybe I like quiet time? Maybe I don't like talking to everybody I know all day? Maybe I need time to process what my reply is gonna be? Maybe my day sucked and I just wanna scroll mindlessly instead of having to engage meaningfully with another human? I hate what it's become. Instant gratification instead of patience.

Conservatives are hilarious sometimes! That’s capitalism bro, maybe some of your corporate donors can explain it to you

It’s frankly embarrassing, and an indictment of those that lead us, that gas prices in Canada have spiked to over $2 per litre because of a conflict on the other side of the world. We have, right here in Canada, the fourth largest oil reserves on the planet. Pipelines should have been built 10 years ago. Refineries should have been built 10 years ago. We should have an energy policy that puts Canada, and Canadians, first. This is ridiculous.

Aaron are you suggesting Canadian companies be required to sell gas to Canadians at non-market prices because a guy tried that in the 1980s and it wasn't a hit here in Alberta.

After the owner took her puppies away, Cora the dog wound up at a shelter. She was so depressed that she wouldn't leave a corner, but the Marin Humane Society found Cora's puppies and brought the family together. ❤️

"If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities."
Last night, Council approved our property tax bylaw, complying with the UCP government's order to issue their largest property tax hike in our city's history. Despite our Council team approving only a 1.2% tax increase for city services like police and fire, Calgarians will see an increase nearly ten times that.
**You need to know that nearly half of your property tax bill goes to the province, in an equalization formula described here by the Premier.** The UCP has hiked property taxes by 57% in four years. Their latest 21% increase represents about $339 more per household. Chestermere and Airdrie will pay even more than that. By contrast, Edmonton homeowners will only pay $154 more.
Our Council team cares about affordability. We will continue to push for responsible spending while investing in core services like safety and infrastructure. Let's work together for a fair deal for municipalities and deliver transparency for where property tax dollars actually go.
