Further to my recent posts on Lethbridge rent being unaffordable and Lethbridge workers being paid the lowest in Alberta, I decided to research property taxes in Lethbridge. What I discovered was that among all 18 Alberta cities, Lethbridge has the highest property taxes.

Last month, I wrote about rent affordability in Lethbridge. A lot of people agreed with the conclusions I drew from the data I presented: it confirmed their own lived experience.
Capitalism didn’t build the modern world
Socialism built the modern world, not capitalism. Anyone who tells you that global poverty is dropping, and it’s because of capitalism doesn’t understand how the real world works.
My interview with Albertastan
I’ve had my first podcast interview!
Recently, Richard Gordon had me on his Albertastan podcast. We discuss supervised consumption sites and the salaries of staff in the premier’s office.
I don’t understand how opponents of the supervised consumption site can say there wasn’t enough consultation prior to the it opening.
The Lethbridge Herald is on a roll this month with all the roasts and letters they’re publishing from people opposed to the local supervised consumption site. I already addressed this week’s roasts, but I thought I’d take a stab at some of the letters.
I wrote my response to the first letter and the second letter earlier this week. Below is my response to the third, which you can read here.
My response: “SCS a ‘house of horrors’”

How capitalism creates oppression
Capitalism is inherently oppressive. It’s built on the concept of hierarchy.
I don’t normally do much with the roasts and toasts in the Lethbridge Herald, but there were several today that criticized the local supervised consumption site, so I thought I’d address some of the points they raised.
