But the City doesn't tell you the $17m/yr is a mortgage payment, of which only the interest portion is operating revenue.

The City lies to you these are all Lease Payments.

🧵 Stampede Park Arena aka "future Culture & Entertainment District Event Centre"

City of Calgary's presentation of the financials is deceptive:
• overstating direct benefits to City
• overstating CSEC investment
• understating City investment
• especially from Reserves Citizens of Calgary do not get a referendum on the deal. In fact, "public consultation" was limited to an announcement on 25 April 2023, releasing this deceptive report.

Our "Referendum" is the Provincial Election Monday 29 May, and its advance voting.

@JorgeDe83010797 Hi. The other night we chatted briefly about locomotive axle bearings on @MriyaReport and I decided to get up to speed on it a bit. If you want to chat about this on the Spaces, let me know. I can cover generally while you dive deeper.

@JorgeDe83010797 @MriyaReport This video goes deeper into the assemblies. I gathered from the Spaces that Russia does not make the bearings themselves, but was curious about their domestic capability for fabrication and maintenance of all parts of the axle box, or even the bogeys.

Interim Premier Smith & Health Minister Copping announced today they had "secured a large supply of children's pain relief medication."

Here's why I think this is not just a distraction, but also another GoA sole-source boondoggle to yield zero product.

ie. the Turkish drug fabrication plant is not licensed. Neither an easy nor quick process to do. +

🧵 Gov of Alberta's Backdoor Prohibition

IMO, this is the policy holding back EPSB and other school boards in mandating masks in any school, for any period of time, no matter how bad the outbreak.

"ask the court to force the government to make the J&J Janssen vaccine available to Canadians."

Interesting articles in Spring 2008 Aspire Concrete Bridge magazine, showing the type of damage that can occur from a rail tanker fire.

Encouraged by @Sharonadactyl gratitude for public input on Alberta's school mask lawsuit, I am providing a 🧵of observations to stimulate input from other members of the public.

I had a good nap this evening, so here goes.

/c @OrlaghOKelly1 @gilmcgowan The documents are here, and I would encourage others in the public, especially those skilled in science and medicine, to provide input by tweet, DM or email.

I am not a party to the lawsuit, nor employed by the lawyers or AFL. Just a private citizen.

Alberta continues to burn deeper into exponential growth of COVID-19, worse than any other province.

Led by Calgary, by far worst in Canada, with cases doubling every 4.2 Generation cycles, at 3.5 days/cycle = doubling every ~14 days.

Joined by Edmonton. Central & North close. Both the daily R from @imgrund and semi-weekly Wastewater Sampling at @ucalgaryCHI are leading indicators of #COVID19AB prevalence, ~5 days ahead of PCR.

Calgary has not recovered from 6th Wave, which GoA launched w rushed drop of safety measures through Feb (latest data 2 Jun).

On Wednesday, Health Min Copping "addressed the speculation" about funding cuts to Rapid Test distribution. He said compensation was "changed" from $5/test to $60/case.

Suspicious of the change in units, I looked into it.

Compensation has been cut from $5/test to $0.093/test. If you're going to lead off weekly #COVID19AB theatre to say "rumours are not correct", then your clarification had better not be deceptive.

This would be the Labour Min saying Alberta's minimum wage has been "changed" from $15/hr to $500/month.

In today's #COVID19AB weekly theatre, Health Minister Copping claimed (4-min mark):
• hospital occupancy "around 90%"
• "slight increase" from 1000 to 1050
• system "resilient", prepared for "further increase"

His own dept stats contradict him.

Latest Healthcare Capacity as of 6 April shows:
• non-ICU beds avail 1.9%
• average beds avail ~ 3% over last month, or 97% full

Minister conceded ICU at 100% capacity, so this claim of overall (ICU + non ICU) around 90% appears bogus.

Atlantic Stan 🧵

On @NewsHour Monday, @WmBrangham interviewed @edyong209 - who won a Pulitzer Prize for his pandemic reporting - about how casually we dismiss the deaths caused by COVID-19.

Part of it is the race & class of the most common victims.

pbs.org/newshour/show/… @NewsHour @WmBrangham @edyong209 When I found the piece they were discussing, I was reminded:
• How great science writers can use statistics to illuminate & educate (I'm jealous)
• Amazing Coronavirus coverage in The Atlantic that donors have made free to read without even registering

@GosiaGasperoPhD @jkenney Thank you, Dr Gasperowicz. @CMOH_Alberta used a familiar trick yesterday, saying BA.2 was still not the dominant strain of Omicron.

As with Alpha, Delta, and original Omicron, it is doubling so fast that CloselyMonitoring™️ is just a deceptive cover for her negligence. @GosiaGasperoPhD @jkenney @CMOH_Alberta Even if we limit our view only to biologists (scientists who know how a virus multiplies in hosts), Dr @sarperotto from UBC is also warning about Alberta's vulnerability to BA.2.

See 8 March @JenLeeCBC story.

In 3 wks: 10% -> 23% -> "less than 40%"

#COVID19AB Non-Medical Masks
Misrepresented as Medical Masks

• Students must be issued 2 per day

#COVID19AB Rapid Antigen Self-Test Approvals 🧵
Health Canada v Europe

Premier Kenney continues to gaslight anyone who will listen on this topic. Today he did it in response to @JuliaWongCBC question around the 47:20 mark of today's COVID theatre.

He worked up the outrage to claim:
• usual distortion & deflection about federal deliveries
• Health Canada has only approved 5-6
• European regulators have approved over 60
• He has been asking feds since April 2020 to approve more tests

So let's look at these claims...

#COVID19AB Critical Worker Isolation Exemption 🧵
New York State v Alberta

I wanted to build on the fine work by Health Law experts @UbakaOgbogu and @Lorian_H, mainly from the angle of occupational health & safety.

A comparison with New York State's guidance is interesting... Since the Alberta government loves to compare its COVID-19 performance to worst-affected jurisdictions on earth (eg USA), or New York City Schools for reopening, it's only fair to compare:
