Edmonton City Council wonders why folks don't come downtown. If you make a mistake and your car gets towed, private lots charge you $450. #yegcc #yegdt

It's like Brexit. A bunch of Yanks who voted for him are gonna wind up saying, "Well, if I'd known this was going to happen..."

Hockey, malls, and... Chemtrails?
I am hiking the El Camino in Spain, and have been off grid for a bit. I chatted with a lovely couple from France who asked me if I believed in chemtrails. I was honestly confused until I read the news. Danielle Smith has made Alberta an international embarrassment.

Store clerks get bodycams. Where will it end? Next thing you know police will be wearing them.
Vancouver is not alone when it comes to dealing with rising violence & disorder. Store employees at two chains in Calgary have started testing body worn cameras. I'm so sad that it's come to this in Canada. calgaryherald.com/news/local…

Too bad the presumptive PM isn't interested in thoughtful discussion of such sites and merely parrots hysterical rhetoric in an all-consuming quest for power, not caring who he tramples along the way. – at Edmonton, Alberta

Thanks Jeremy for posting this. Such smug amoral brocialists are more numerous than you'd expect -- and it would behoove Naheed Nenshi to learn lessons from his predecessors' mistakes and shun them. – at Edmonton, Alberta

Encampments scattered, the homeless inhabit nooks and stairwells, camp in copses, and sleep wherever they can. One such gained entry to our building, found a spot under the stairs and stayed for days. I blame Dale McPhee -- who does not live near #yegdt #yegcc – at Edmonton, Alberta

But it's fine for them to buy fentanyl on the street.
