I believe if you read the town charter from a long time ago, it guarantees home owners (not renters or those apt/condo weirdos) a dedicated parking spot located exactly in front of their homes, available all the time.

Premier Smith's Chief of Staff is a hypocrite:

"This Big Brother knows best, we're going to tell you how you can develop your land, we're not going to leave it to local people that have an actual stake democratically…
It's a top-down, centralized, quasi-socialist system, and it's wrong"

Local woman says if referendum results show none of the problems she invented are a concern of the majority of voters then she will then work hard to look for new problems.

It’s a gooder, somehow I got added to the mailing list and I’ve been filling it out ever since 🤣

The UCP wants you to get bogged down on the policy debates around infill. Don't be fooled. Their intrusion into local democracy reveals something far more troubling to folks across the political spectrum.

Don’t forget a sombrero with little die-cast cars to represent all that new parking

Unlike the (exceptional) European highway stops, I always get the sense the rest stops want you to stop, but not linger…

You’ve got children, it’s baked into the process (otherwise you go squirrelly)

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:10 AM

Bonus funny bones 🤣

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:03 AM

I mean, as long as the “after” picture had all the requisite pieces 😬

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 8:33 PM

I mean, rather poetic that the 20th century started off with millions of new arrivals arriving by boat...

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:11 PM

Yeah, I know someone else who stomps around and tells me they used to like the old way of things: they're called my children. Talking about just phoning it in...

Someone saying "we believe in local democracy" while praising Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for big-footing Edmonton city council on zoning and I think I might have a stroke

Hey, I beat up on the city a lot, but this is a great program. More, please.

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:00 PM

(hence why provinces are so keen to shove amalgamation down the throat of cities)

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:00 PM

Suburban Montreal has always been as NIMBY as the rest of them, sadly.

@calgaryk.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 2:56 PM

I think it's a byproduct of what NIMBYism represents: a fear of the unknown, a fear of the Other, an expectation that status quo preservation is priority no. 1.

This latest craziness out of West Montreal kinda captures it for me. bsky.app/profile/ohth...

This is an urban sprawl story. What did they think when all of those kilometers of new acres were approved was going to happen? More compact city, more efficient city.
