    South Edmonton Hospital & Health Campus | ?m | ?s | Province of Alberta

    I'm a rural Albertan who works in mining. Are my bona-fides in order to be allowed to think that because the UCP is actively harming citizens in the Edmonton area that I can side-eye their supporters?

    Municipal Politics

    The municipal system of government is not designed for party participation. Is the expectation that the party that elects the most council representatives gets to seat the mayor? There is no practical value for citizens, and the reason it is being pursued is to create another avenue for...

    She's currently being impacted by a neuron decelerator, so likely not.

    I don't know if the process is airtight in terms of being influenced by people on council, but the current system of third-party salary review is the correct one. https://www.edmonton.ca/sites/default/files/public-files/assets/PDF/OCM00067_ICCC_Final_Report_2020_Attachment_1.pdf?cb=1710455580

    Alberta Politics

    If only there were billions in investment waiting in the wings for renewable energy projects. It's just so hard to get those off the ground, though, what with all of the permitting and such. But hey...and I know this is a bit out there...what if we had a specific person in government, maybe...

    South Edmonton Hospital & Health Campus | ?m | ?s | Province of Alberta

    I know that Notley's single term feels like a hundred years ago, but I'm old enough to remember that her government actually did make meaningful changes that would be bearing fruit if not immediately scuttled by the UCP. There were myriad polices and programs to incubate a diversified economy...

    Homelessness, Addiction and Mental Health

    Quite the Straw Man. The problem people have with clearing the encampments is the lack of a short-term plan to fulfill the basic need of shelter. As it stands, proponents of the demolition see that the tents are gone and think that we solved homelessness. The author kind of outed himself...

    Step 1 Get angry* about something Step 2 Come up with a reason to be angry about it Step 3 Insert guesses in place of evidence that the reason for the anger exists I suspect that the time required for the declaration was negligible. Low risk/high reward. Hasn't paid off. *Angry is probably...
