@HongYYCRealtor Calgarians did no such thing. Very few Calgarians signed a petition, though we can't accurately say for sure how many were real or even from this city. Saving water for others is the least you could do as a human

@robbfergusson At one point, we had a conservative majority government, headed by a PM from Alberta, and the whining didn't actually stop them. It's embarrassing. And weird

@albertabliss The CPP has a 10-year return of about 9.3%, while AIMCO has a 7.3% rate of return over the same time period. I'd rather have the extra 27% return on a larger pot of money in the CPP, thanks

@alex__bowen @michael_wiebe Putting people in less space allows for more amenities in the spaces lawns and driveways would take up. And no, the goal isn't apartment-only housing. Plenty of other options in the middle

@Isuckatpicking Dude rages on social media nonstop. Of course he's showing signs of stress. I'm also assuming he declined the provincial paid EKG and found a private clinic so as not to be a socialist commie. Nothing is ever not a rage-farming opportunity
