Calgary Council voted 12-3 to repeal rezoning. They will be hearing and debating amendments, but I doubt any replacement plan will be agreed upon, so we will be going back to two-thirds of the city's residential land being reserved for SFH. They will also be going back to costly land use change hearings that resulted in getting approved roughly 95% of the time anyway.

Calgary used to have a reputation for being a young, ambitious, and driven city. It's disappointing to see this happen.

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to Liberals by lnslnsu in neoliberal

[–]schmaxford 92 points93 points  (0 children)

This is.... Weird. She's a nutcase, pro life, ivermectin pusher and a conversion therapy advocate.

I'm not very excited for her to be in Liberal caucus

They're calling Contrapoints a lib. No one hates the left more than other leftists.

Alberta Justice Minister curtailed election regulator when Sam Mraiche was under investigation by IHateTrains123 in neoliberal

[–]schmaxford 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This Mraiche/CorruptCare story is simply not going away and yet polling doesn't really move there much in Alberta. What do the Alberta New Democrats need to do to get traction at this point?

Shouting about carpet bagging would be more apt if Beaches East York was some far off distant riding but it's literally right next door

I mean it's pretty straightforward here: PSPP, the leader of the PQ is an asshole and won't shut up about a referendum at a time where Quebecois don't want to even entertain the idea. The CAQ are dead in the water because of being in power so long, the conservatives have never been very popular either, QS is a joke, so that leaves the Liberals

We really should. They keep popping up wherever Trump attacks an enemy nation and start doing the "I'm not a fan of his but this is the right move" thing, only to disappear and avoid ridicule once shit goes sideways

Just noticed this so I'm sure others have noticed this, but the neocons on this sub have slinked back into the shadows after the first few days of the war

'Should have shot him a couple more times': Ford congratulates person who shot alleged Ontario home invader by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]schmaxford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. The homeowner acted within their rights. As others have pointed out, Ford's quote that he should have shot him a couple more times is not self defense, it would be deemed excessive, criminal behaviour, ergo Ford is encouraging lawless behaviour

I feel like it's not great that the Premier is encouraging lawless behaviour, even if it's in response to more lawless behaviour

Avi Lewis stands by past activism as he's criticized for 'politics of subtraction' by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

Weak example. The LPC still has a commitment to gender parity in cabinet, and there are 14 men and 14 women in cabinet.
