It takes a village...to keep incompetent people in place, needlessly harming others.

As health contract mess heats up with Mountie searches, the UCP is set to pick a new auditor general to write report. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #yyc

The different types of maintenance: 1. Preventive maintenance – includes regular and periodic (time-based) schedules. 2. Corrective maintenance – occurs when an issue is noticed. 3. Predetermined maintenance – follows a factory schedule. 4. Condition-based maintenance – occurs when a situation or condition indicates maintenance is needed. 5. Predictive maintenance – is data-driven and impacted by preset parameters. 6. Reactive maintenance – occurs when a total breakdown or failure appears.

@AdamMacVicar How many comfort dogs will that require?

NEW: As of 9am, City of Calgary confirms 339 people have signed up to speak at the public hearing on citywide rezoning next week.

@CarrieTait @mattscace67 @tom_cardoso Auditor General Doug Wylie runs out of time at the end of April - leaving the final reporting to his staff. Not extending his contract for 1-2 months is petty, but having the Justice Minister who is related to Sam Mraiche through marriage, commenting in the media is troublesome.

@glen_mcgregor Kettlebells? Sounds like a Salvation Army thing.

Unless you’re really into the history of kettlebells, you can safely scrub over the first 10 minutes of Poilievre - Rogan interview. “It’s all about explosive power and that’s what kettlebells give.”

@HomelessCalgary Not a lot of emojis so far. I think I’ve only seen 2.

Just some light morning reading in the Ward 11 office.

@DuaneBratt White House visit for victors?

This held up!

@MKingCalgary Take this one with you. No changes years later. I like how the snow crew arrived 10 hours late, in the shot.

Switching gears! After nearly 8 years with Global Calgary, Friday is my final day. Starting Monday, I’ll be headed to CBC Calgary as an assignment editor. I want to thank everyone who’s ever shared their story or expertise with me…

@beltline_pres City Council only has one employee, CAO. Province needed if changes required below that level. Hence independent Inspection.

. . So now we learn a bit about the cost of City of Calgary entirely avoidable water main break. We also learn something more about the general inadequacy of the City water utility. A billion a year for ten years to make it right. OK, but no one has been held accountable for the water system bollix. Duckworth and Dalgliesh are both still leading city operations. It appears that Council will not fire either of them. So big borrowing for the fix, but little confidence that administration leadership can ensure that it's done right. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

@colbycosh Tate McRae is working on a real tear jerker about this ordeal.

That's what the news story is about. It literally gives the answer. The puck's not Hughes's property and the law won't let the museum give donated items away. And from a point of view of sportsmanship, of moral ideals, Jack didn't score 1-on-5, did he? So that's why not.

@GlobalCalgary Hey @piscatorken looks like the ancient Erlton Stampede CTrain station with its dangerous and inaccessible maze gates falls outside the 20 year plan. @AdamMacVicar and @MKingCalgary know about this crossing. How about asking @calgarytransit or @cityofcalgary for update?

@colbycosh Gordon Sinclair wants to know how much you make.

(I must have watched A THOUSAND episodes of Front Page Challenge. No earthly idea if I am better off for it. It must have rubbed off on me, seeing as how I drifted into newspapering. A Canadian my age can't wash off all the CBC, not with a firehose.)

(I was going to provide the missing middle-aged-Cansplanation of why their seats are arranged this way, but maybe it's more fun if I don't.)

@MrDynamic101 @GlobalCalgary @PETE_0716 Might slow down its spread. Don't know the details but looked like the roof was completely gone on at least one of two businesses.
