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.
I decided to try a new feature here on my blog a few months ago: my most popular social media posts. Well, here’s the 7th instalment:

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.
Between the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 reporting periods, Alberta Health Services spent 2.97% more on salaries and benefits. That seems like a good thing, right?
My response: “SCS a ‘house of horrors’”

How capitalism creates oppression
Capitalism is inherently oppressive. It’s built on the concept of hierarchy.
