Can someone educate the department and explain that an overdose is a life threatening health condition, not “social disorder”!

Attention Calgary: if we make it harder to build housing and go back on our signed agreements with the feds, 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. #yyc #yyccc #Housing #cdnpoli

Ah Calgary. We were ahead of the curve… for a moment
And now we may be retreating if we get rid of rezoning efforts

#Calgary’s water restrictions are now over, officials said Thursday.
"Calgary you did it — we did it,” Mayor Jeromy Farkas said.

I understand the necessity but why can’t we have the sandbags to the side of the bike path? When the weather warms there are going to be a lot of cranky people sharing the pedestrian path with wheeling people! #yycbike #yyccc

Meanwhile councillors want to remove a measure to make it easier to build in our developed areas, and bring kids back to available schools. 🤔

What jeromyyyc.bsky.social neglects to tell us is that $200M in higher provincial property taxes will build new schools on the edges of a sprawling Calgary.
Yet only 69% of kids attending schools in CBE’s Central district actually live there.
Sprawl costs us.

I miss being able to get stories in the media on April 1st. Seeing how many people I could upset was always great! Thank you to all the delightful journalists who played along with me. #yyc #yyccc

Cool thing about SSRIA is that one of its founders brought back retrofit knowledge from Holland and is already doing it here. @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @mykeatkinson.bsky.social #yyccc @naheednenshi.bsky.social Work together on trust →true engagement →affordable homes → well being for all. 🌺
Semi-regular post that Calgary could be THE BEST BIKING CITY IN NORTH AMERICA if we spent a fraction of what Paris spent on more safe, separated on street lanes that networked to our 1000kms! of car free pathways #yycbike #yyccc www.fastcompany.com/91509506/how...
Separatists vow they've got the signatures. Firebrand Rath says Smith has to get with the program, and fast, or look like a drunk lighting cigars with $100 bills. (yah, he said that.) Column.

FYI: I showed up to city hall and said don't repeal re-zoning. #yyccc #yyc
It's a bad idea.
I also flagged the dozens of unfilled Affordability Taskforce recommendations that this council is still sitting on their tufts on.
My frustration? My rent has gone up 33% and council is paralyzed.
Can't overstate what a mistake it was for Calgary city council to eliminate the civic census in 2020. Most recent census data is 2021 (federal) and everyone cringes to use it in 2026. Given Calgary's explosive growth it's pretty much useless for understanding current pop + demographics. #yyccc
What gives with snow clearing on the regional pathway from zoo bridge to Ogden rail bridge? Did the person in charge fall off the planet? #yycbike #yyccc #yyc
Making generational changes to things like planning and development can be politically costly, no matter how much sense it might make, writes Courtney Walcott, in his latest column for LWC. #yyc #calgary #yyccc
Furthermore, this slide they shared appears to be the same one they shared in 2024, before R-CG was implemented!!
#Factsmatter #CREB #yyccc
While many of the councillors campaigned on a certain viewpoint in the rezoning debate, is there anything that would sway their perspective? After all, there's this notion of being amenable to persuasion... #yyc #yyccc #calgary

A group from the Calgary Real Estate Board presented in #yyccc. I'm confused.
They said R-CG won't reduce costs, but but shared this example of units dropping from $370K to $254K🤔
Their economist stated R-CG has had no impact 🤯 which begs the question WHY ARE WE WASTING TIME ON THIS??

It is amusing seeing Councillor Landon Johnston antagonize Mayor Jeromy Farkas in the manner that Councillor Jeromy Farkas antagonized much of city council from 2017 to 2021. What goes around comes around eh! #yyccc
Speaking on behalf of the TGCA, our President, Alison Abbott, presented to Calgary City Council on March 25 at the public hearing on repeal of blanket rezoning in support of repealing the rezoning bylaw. She advocated for a local area plan for the neighbourhood... #yyccc
On behalf of the City of Calgary, we extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Baldev “Charlie” Singh Sangha. Charlie’s life reflected the very best of the immigrant journey in Canada. #yyccc
This is the part so many get stuck on: "When we can..." is the goal.
Don't get hung up on absolutes.
Remember: Never let perfection get in the way of better. #yyccc #yycbike
There's a whole global #EnergyTransition and you are not equipped to lead in this time. You're going to lose and you're going to deserve it. I'm done voting for more pipelines. SMH #yyc #yyccc #abpoli
