If you live in Alberta I have two questions for you:

Q1: In recent months, how easy or difficult has it been for you to meet your monthly expenses?

Q2: Would you be willing to speak with me about that for a story I'm working on for CBC News?

Please reply and/or DM!

This chart shows annual hours of smoke-filled skies in Calgary from 1953 to 2023.

As the first wildfire smoke of the 2024 season blew into the city this week, it's hard to convey the sadness it elicited in a lot of folks here.

There's a growing realization this is our new reality. And a genuine sense of mourning.

Physical copies of “2600: The Hacker Quarterly” are hard to come by. But, if you’re ever in Ottawa you can pick up a copy at “Globe Mags & Cigars” located at 57 William St.

I've been adding to my collection recently.

If you're Canadian and want a peek into the digital underground, the only in person meetings are in Calgary.

In 1999, hundreds of students set up tents on the University of Calgary campus to protest tuition hikes.

I've found limited info about it online.

Does anyone remember how long it lasted and how it ended?

Poverty Lane' tents rise, U o C tuitions may also Calgary Herald: Friday, March 26, 1999 More than 200 students occupying a tent "shanty town" at the University of Calgary will hit the sidewalks this morning to protest against an anticipated tuition hike. The university administration, in a last-minute move, relocated today's board of governors meeting off campus to nearby McMahon Stadium. The board will make the final decision on tuition fees. In a meeting Thursday, the planning and finance committee recommended a maximum increase this fall, for academic year 1999-2000. It would be the 10th year in a row of tuition hikes. Tent town protesters, who'll march to the board meeting to rally with other students, are "angry, frustrated and disbelieving," said Paul Galbraith, president of the students union. ... The tent town on campus grew to about 65 rainbow-hued tents by late Thursday afternoon, including a subdivision dubbed Poverty Lane. Ricardo Hoar, 19, a second-year computer science student, borrowed a friend's tent to join the protest. A guitar, pillows, books, sleeping bags and carton of strawberries were piled in his temporary abode. His parents told him not to get arrested. Two students union executives bunked in a hut of recycled plywood, its roof shingled with Ichiban noodle soup boxes. On the door, it says: This is not a home - yet.

Calgary city councillor Dan McLean on proposed legislation that would allow the provincial government to repeal city bylaws and remove councillors from office:

“They always say the municipalities are like the children of the province, and sometimes parents have to spank their kids."

Anyone recently move to Alberta? Or know anyone who has?

I'm looking to talk to recent newcomers (past year or two) for a CBC article about the job market here.
