The "housing crisis," as it has existed, is a demand problem - not a supply problem. CMHC is now saying lower demand for rentals, through modest-but-still-high immigration caps, has resulted in prices for rentals dropping. Same will be true for new builds or buying existing…

Pecan log rolls from Stuckey's at I-75 Exit 29 to Corbin, KY. Core memory unlocked!
Today's #DavesCarIDService salutes the travel decal! Once upon a time a ritual of the American road trip was a quick stop at a Stuckey's or roadside attraction for a cheap souvenir decal to display in the window of your station wagon or camper to announce to other motorists:…
Our Deficit Reduction Action Plan cut about 20k positions - mostly through attrition - to bring the post-Great Recession federal budget back into balance by 2015. The Left soiled itself for 3 years, non-stop protesting, the hue and cry of "austerity!" Carney proposes 3x the…

I almost died by suicide fifteen years ago while battling depression. If the expansion of MAID coming into force in 2027 were in place then, I'd likely be dead right now. Today, I'm launching the #IGotBetter campaign to keep hope alive for people living with mental illness.
Feels So [Not] Good. Loved Chuck's flugelhorn. It was a vibe only possible in the '70s. RIP Chuck.

I followed this case from very early days!! I interviewed people who attended. Regular everyday people who weren’t even “political” until they attended and witnessed the disconnect between what they saw - and what they watched in media. It is why i am now a recovering…
Un eroe della gioventù mia e di tanti degli anni ‘70 e ‘80 come me! Buon viaggio Hulk, continuerai a combattere e vincere per sempre 💪
First Ozzy. Now the Hulkster. My GenX childhood is meeting the immutable reality of finity. RIP Oz, Hulk.
Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71
Remember when @JyotiGondek swore #yyc wouldn't lose federal HAF money if #yyccc voted against blanket rezoning? I walked Council through the City's contribution agreement with CMHC, on Panel 139, exposing the lie. And how the contract pledged Council's support before the public…
The real danger of the Russian collusion hoax wasn’t just in what it claimed but in what it cost: national cohesion, institutional credibility, and the ability to see foreign threats clearly through a nonpartisan lens.
The recent revelations about the origins of the Russia collusion hoax against the American people are the biggest story in America right now. It's the biggest scandal in our history. And yet look at how most media outlets are handling the news. Ignoring, downplaying...
The Nazis ended with Holocaust, but started by de-humanizing Jews in Europe. For #NeverAgain to mean something, we must fight in our cities to reverse the current wave of de-humanization and targeting of Jewish Canadians. That includes #yyc. I will do my part to combat…
Graffiti tagging is making model railroading great again
Checks out. Ask my 13 year old.

Fun, fútbal, friendship. Thanks to my friend Bo and players from #yyc West United for an excellent match last night. And for signing my nomination papers! I am pleased to be known as a friend to the city's Chinese community. And, given the world lives in our city, we need…

First overall CFL Draft pick Damien Alford with an unreal grab! #CFLGameDay 📅: @calstampeders vs. Riders live now! 🇨🇦: TSN, RDS 🌎: CFL+
Looking at State Department documents, it appears the department went from 57,340 total employees in 2007 to 72,895 in 2015 to 80,214 in 2024. So it grew by nearly 23,000 employees before the 'devastating' cut of 1,300.
At the Wildwood Community Association today for a great #stampede breakfast! Thank you to Lois Sime, neighbouring @SpruceCliffCA president, and board members for a great conversation about community priorities - and what you're looking for from City Hall, and from your next…
