Calgarian. Progressive Liberalism or bust. Trying to make heritage and YIMBY work.

David Staples in 2017: The urinal needed to solve lineups at Rogers Place. Fast, efficient. Keep your eyes in the sky, do your biz. Sick of hearing about this Image of a sink that is clearly a sink and only someone suffering from long-term exposure to lead would think is a communal urinal in a restroom Reply from @Oilers_HotTakes: That's for hand washing David

Clipping from the Globe and Mail story on the Ontario budget: Housing New honmeowners will be getting a bigger tax break thanks to combined relief from the provincial and federal governments. The province says it is temporarily expanding its HST rebate on new homes to all buyers to a maximum rebate of $130,000 for homes up to $1-million. Homes worth up to $1.5-million would also be eligible for a rebate, but it would be capped at $130,000, with smaller tax breaks for homes worth up to $185-million.
VoiceOfFranky, the Bluesky account of EKOS Polling's Frank Graves, liking a month-and-a-half old post saying "Frank Graves vindication" EKOS polling is often accused of having a bias in favour of the Liberal Party of Canada but in recent years has caught trends faster than other pollsters. They were the first to pick up on the LPC rebound after Trudeau stepped down, and were the first to recognize the polling bump in recent months that shot the Liberals up into significant majority territory.

J.J. McCullough on Twitter: I think Jamil Jivani was obviously in the right and it was gratuitous for Pierre to criticize him. Trump's tariffs are clearly wrong, but hysterical anti-Americanism, egged on by Carney, is a problem in Canada too, and the Conservatives shouldn't be afraid to stand against it

A ban notice from r/Calgary for rule breaking
Victoria Police Department: VicPD is urging the community to take extra care on our roads. Since January 1, our officers have responded to a cyclist or pedestrian being struck every single day. To date, this includes 8 pedestrians, 7 cyclists, and 1 person on a scooter. These are not statistics. These are people - your sister, mother, brother, aunts, kids, colleagues, uncles - all walking to work, cycling to school, crossing the street, or simply moving through our community. Each collision carries the potential for life-threatening injury or loss. Road safety is a shared responsibility. Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians all a have a role to play, but those operating vehicles carry a heightened duty of care. A moment of distraction, speed, or impatience can have irreversible consequences. We are asking the public to slow down, stay alert, and make deliberate, cautious choices behind the wheel. Watch for cyclists. Yield to pedestrians. Put phones away. Take the extra second. Together, we can prevent these collisions. Together, we can keep people safe.

A "I am very smart" Redditor who has never heard of the concept of mixed-use zoning smarmily commenting on how progressives are all about housing except they also don't want housing and want commercial buildings in residential areas
A screenshot from Kent Hehr's campaign site with his housing policy listed. In it, he states he wants to repeal rezoning, despite the city's zoning being overly complex as is. He instead wants to introduce "neighbourhood zones" which reads like a watered down version of blanket rezoning
