Just don't get yourself arrested. @CalgaryPolice are just as forceful as ever AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT AN ANTIVAXER. Might get hit with a bike or other blunt instrument. They don't even care if you're a senior citizen, right @neufeld_mark? /41 #yyc #yyccc
DO YOU GET THAT THIS IS YOUR WHOLE CAREER FLASHING BEFORE YOUR EYES CHIEF @neufeld_mark? This IS a policing failure. We don't NEED to be told its not & we don't NEED to be told to just LIE DOWN & TAKE IT. You need to EXPLAIN THE FAILURE. /42 #yyc #yyccc

1. Unfortunately, the statue of #ThomasJefferson that celebrates him for the #DeclarationOfIndependence & religious liberty will be removed from #NewYork #CityHall.

Here's why it should stay (or at least be displayed prominently elsewhere)

2. Historical context matters. This is not like Confederate statues put up to celebrate the Lost Cause, racism, or slavery.

It is to commemorate the equality of the Declaration of Independence.

While not perfect equality, it was a tremendous step forward in world history.
3. The statue was donated in 1834 by Admiral Uriah Phillips #Levy, a New Yorker and vet of the War of 1812. He was also the first Jewish commodore of the US #Navy

This is a very short overview of what the #UKAuthorities have done in the case.

In 2005, I set up a business selling CDs, namely mixtape CDs after graduating from Uni.

In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.
It was a complete shock as the exact same CDs I was selling were prevalent on most high streets and supermarkets. They were selling in their thousands in places such as #Tesco & #HMV. And #Woolworths were the actual UK Distributor of these CDs.

Hey @CITYofCALGARY - its time to slow down & reassess the #GreenLine - for many reasons:

1) timing - not now - not during COVID, not post the collapse of oil prices - lets wait 5 to 10 years.

2) costs - are exploding - the cost per mile ESTIMATE - has more than doubled!! DELAY!
3) Ridership forecasts are just a guess - given COVID & ENERGY - there isn't a hope your forecasts are close to accurate - you can't rely on them - you can't. #DELAY

4) Your boffins (paid public servants and councillor assistants) are plugging social media with misleading job
forecasts - they keep saying 20,000 jobs - we all know that isn't permanent - some might be for a week - its a lie to plug that number - you all know better. #JustDelay

5) Planning is a fail - you announced the routing - but didn't realize you had to be 7 stories below downtown

#Miami Freedom Park people came to make presentation.
Commish Manolo Reyes (a “no” vote):“We don’t need a presentation...we’ve heard it all...”
Reyes says he is not vs soccer or project; but is opposed to circumvented process & vote swayed by deep-pocket campaign
