Conservatives spent over a decade feeding the insatiable appetite in Alberta for anger and alienation towards Ottawa. Now, like Jason Kenney, they need to step up and slay the beast they helped create before it does even more damage. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/11/o...

Alberta tracked miscarriages, stillbirths, and infant deaths from measles—but heavily censored the records. Why hide preventable tragedy from the clinicians and families who needed to know? https://thewalrus.ca/alberta-knew-measles-was-harming-pregnant-patients/

Interesting analysis by Economist Trevor Tombe.

Very concerning.

“the government of Alberta has done what appears to be a politicization of the whole process and basically hijacked the organization and the millions and millions of dollars that it administers” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/general...

“Alberta’s problem is not Ottawa. It is the decline of serious provincial leadership.” Nailed it!

Good piece from @markhamhislop.bsky.social on Alberta's "grievances."

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

67,000 Canadians have watched my interview with @acoyne in less than 24 hours. It's damn good. Have a watch. Andrew Coyne interview: It's a New World. Canada Must Adapt youtu.be/-1bBEj9biOo

First Nations Chiefs are calling on Alberta’s premier to resign, accusing Danielle Smith of conspiring with separatists and violating Treaty rights “I hope you have your bags packed. When this referendum is defeated, I will gladly walk you to the border.” #fyp

WTF Calgary! 5 people hit by cars in less than 24hrs is horrific.

Burg Reigerstraat in Utrecht is a fietsstraat, a cycling street where bikes have priority and cars are considered guests. By keeping speeds low and designing the street to feel comfortable for riders of all ages, it creates a calmer, safer environment that encourages active travel.

19: Plant a tree in your front yard, and fight for street trees on your street, in your neighborhood, and across your city. There are literally dozens of ways they make life better on streets and in cities. It’s one of the best investments a city can make.

Last night the UCP used their power as gov’t to limit debate on multiple bills to one hour. They’ve done it > 80 times in six years. I had a few choice words in response and in defence of Albertans who deserve a government that respects democracy. Better is possible. Just not with UCP. #abpoli

Winter makes a city’s transportation priorities extra obvious: Bikelane: nonexistent on this street Sidewalk: covered in snow with a caregiver getting a major workout pushing a stroller through Street: perfectly cleared for drivers We can and should do better @minneapolismn.gov .

Never since 1905, when Alberta became a province, was a petition with nearly half a million signatures tabled in the Legislature. Never was a Premier presented with such clear choice between right and wrong. Premier, do the right thing. Avoid a divisive referendum. #ableg

Danielle Smith has invoked the notwithstanding clause four times in five weeks. This authoritarian turn has targeted labour, trans youth, and basic human rights. As Ryan Kelpin writes, it should alarm everyone in Canada.

You don’t have to ban cars everywhere to transform your city centre. But you do have to seriously rethink and redefine the car’s role. There are many ways to do that, from #completestreets to #sharedstreets, pedestrian priority streets & Dutch #woonerfs, that prioritize streets for people, not cars.

“Alberta, which has been particularly hard hit, has seen its youth measles vaccine rate slip well below herd immunity levels.” Hmmm — what could have possibly contributed to the Province of Alberta having exceptionally low vaccination rates? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

As we ready for the UCP's 2nd pre-emptice use of the notwithstanding clause in as many weeks, let's clarify what this means. 1️⃣ The move is constitutional. They *can* invoke it. 2️⃣ The UCP is not *required* to do this. There are other means to pass the law. 3️⃣ They should not use it, in my view.🧵

I used to think that a watershed was a fairly immutable physical concept but yesterday the GoA passed an order in council including the Upper Smoky basin within the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. Bizarre. BTW the plan will "provide continued opportunities for coal development." #ableg #abpoli

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦 Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

We do not take the privilege of serving in this House for granted. You have my word: Alberta’s New Democrats will never use the notwithstanding clause to violate your rights or abuse the power of the Premier’s office. youtu.be/-7KOGnd8drI

Meanwhile, in Manitoba… At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is… And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is great. If only more "journalists" would actually read and apply some of this. Truth isn't dead. Trust is just scarcer.

"On a bike it's normal to meet people, which only happens in a car if you're beeping at somebody for cutting you off or something. Do a regular route, commuting to work or something, you actually begin to meet, recognize & talk to people you share that space with, which just doesn't happen in a car"

A Redditor made a graph of the percent of population of US and Canada metro areas over 1 million that live in a given density. When they ordered them by average density the lowest ranked Canadian metro area, Edmonton, was ranked 14th between Miami and Washington. 6 of the top 15 were Canadian metros

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

The best. I went into Harris Cyclery to pick up some tires for my commutecycle back in the day. I said something like, I just ride this one to work. For serious rides, I've got a racing bike. He looks me in the eyes and says "The most serious thing you can do with your bike is ride it to work."
