LOL can't have those homebuyers realizing their Florida home is destined to join the Atlantic ocean and that their bucolic mountain home is at risk of catastrophic wildfire destruction. #climateemergency #Climate #RealEstate

I wish you well, #RubyHarry. This is an inspiring story of a woman who found her way back into community through a dusty old #drum and a system ready to act upon #restorative #justice. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/first-person-restorative-justice-9.6985799?cmp=rss

If you have 45 seconds, could you listen to this audio and let me know which of the three clips you think sounds best? (First, second, or third? They're each about 15 seconds.) I'm fiddling with my audio editing, and I've listened to them so many times I've lost all perspective.

Severely

Beaverton is hitting it out of the park today. "“This is a matter for the courts, probably,” Carney said. “It’s not my place to get involved in interprovincial issues. Unless the extraction industry asks me to. Wait, have they asked? No? Not yet? Okay, then let the courts handle it until then […]

"Elaine Miles was walking to a bus stop in Redmond to go to Target, she said, when four men wearing masks and vests with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement label stepped out of two black SUVs with no front plates and pressed her for her ID. Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her […]

“WASHINGTON—Citing that a majority of Americans are irresponsible, easily distracted people who have little regard for other human beings, a new Dept of Transportation report revealed that it’s ‘actually kind of crazy’ that U.S. citizens are allowed to drive automobiles.” The Onion strikes again.

Smith changed "the deal" (the implied economic contract) with wind and solar developers for the trivial reason of owning libs. We could just as easily decide that the oil companies have had it good for long enough, and drastically increase our royalty rates now that oil is in the end game.

World-famous #brewing institution leaving U.S. for #canada: “Recent regulatory changes in the U.S. have made it much more challenging for many of our #International students, who have become the majority of our student body, to attend classes in person,” John Hannafan, the institute’s director […]

Researching this week's column, I stumbled across something that amazed me: the near-absence of reliable data about climate impacts over most of the world. Due to the rich world's failure to fund research. We don't know because our governments don't care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So...Trump/Kushner get to rebuild Ukraine AND Gaza? Seems a little greedy, doesn't it?

Big news in British Columbia! The all party Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee has recommended a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform after months of hearings. 1/10

PS: I believe Post Secondary Education should be free for all Canadians. International education tuition should reasonable and capped. If, in this moment of upheaval, and soul searching by Government, a window opens where we could shrink the system enough to pay for the whole thing publicly […]

Why doesn't Edmonton have a team that actively pursues retiring roads? Surely there are vehicle rights-of-way that are redundant? www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Two-tier groceries. Two-tier Healthcare. Two-tier education. Some things need to be considered to be rights, guaranteed to all.

Tony #NDP2026 supports: #ProportionalRepresentation as one of the most important single changes to be implemented by an #NDP government. Under our non-proportional voting system, in most elections, most voters don’t elect anyone to represent them. mastodon.social/@tonymcquail...

New Op-ed! "To truly address gerrymandering and the toxic two-party political culture that has led to its recent resurgence, California needs to fight fire with water. We need structural democracy reform." capitolweekly.net/its-time-for...

This is what concentrated power produces. A party wins a majority with forty percent of the vote and suddenly has the freedom to target its opponents. Proportional representation makes prevents this kind of behaviour by requiring broad, shared control of government.

Give. It. To. Edmonton.

@josephsimons I mean, it _is_ hard to find a hospital-sized lot somewhere that already has great transit access. Huh, well, _except_ for the large empty lot, almost as big as the chosen one, that is right _next_ to the South Campus LRT station. 🤨 But I think that […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

Genius: only a two kilometer walk to the LRT for anyone without a car using the new Stollery. Was there no site on the LRT line for a public building that'll be there a hundred years? #yegbike #yeg […]

Raw deal in the Region part 2: how much of your Edmonton tax bill is subsidizing the region? www.michaeljanz.ca/raw_deal_in_...

As Edmonton passes 32 traffic deaths, it's worth looking at the trend. At this rate, we'll hit 36, shattering the all time high. Vision Zero says 0 traffic deaths by 2032, instead we are on track to hit 66 deaths. Vision Zero isn't failing, it has already failed. #yegbike #yegcc

And 32. We have tied our all time record. How high will the number go? edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/11/24/c...

stunning

Edmonton released its Fall 2025 budget. There are some small steps forward for transit & active transportation. But if you read deeper, the documents tell a much harder truth: ✖️ Failing on climate. ✖️ Failing on mode shift. ✖️ Failing on traffic safety. Read more: buff.ly/6UeEq4x #yegbike #yegcc

No ads. No* algorithm. No influence campaigns. No AI. No bots. Just people on the internet talking to each other about all the little pointless things, (and big incredible things) in our lives. *I realize that the demonization of the term "algorithm" in social media is unfortunate in many ways […]

would be kind of fun if Alberta thought about the ramifications of this for a second or two

We don't know alot about Calgary's election results or the people elected, but their new mayor made some amazing active transportation commitments that we hope our council will also consider! buff.ly/6IdvOBy #yegbike #yegcc

As nations KEEP FAILING on #ClimateAction, cities must DOUBLE their efforts & actions on #ClimateChange mitigation though the SIGNIFICANT power of land-use and transportation decisions, which are within the power of cities and are TRANSFORMATIVE in addressing the #ClimateCrisis. Further & faster.

@Techaltar The conclusion to draw is humans make mistakes. And better to make a mistake on a 12 kg bike, than in a 2,500 kg SUV.

Wow. It's great to see a city taking risks to achieve their climate goals. @transitnerd.bsky.social @etriders.bsky.social

BC ran a public consultation this year and invited submissions on electoral reform. The result was overwhelming. Ninety three percent supported proportional representation. Our volunteers outside the BC NDP convention on Saturday heard the same. People want a better democracy.

Huge moment in this interview with @frankdomenic.bsky.social. NDP leadership candidate @avilewis.ca puts proportional representation on the national stage and makes it the non negotiable democratic reform we need. When leadership contenders acknowledge the core issue, the national debate shifts.

"Investment returns at $55 to $60 per barrel are not what they were at the same price five years ago because the best wells have been drilled" The lies of the US oil industry are being revealed by low oil prices. The bigger lie (endless cheap oil and gas reserves) will also soon be revealed.
