You know, I listened to this piece by @markusoff.bsky.social and it didn't have the music... If you are going to do a taxonomy on the genus separatist and genus federalist, you need that haunting flute playing to set it up. Just sayin'... youtu.be/EUd9vtS9yMI?...

So @calgaryparking.bsky.social, did you test your after hours access process for inclusion & accessibility at Lot 40 (Harmony Parkade)? I'm wondering: • who can read the sign, only printed in English? • who can reach the button when seated in a mobility device, like a wheelchair? There's more... 1/

Biosecurity as infrastructure. -- Nicky Swan #CalgaryClimateWeek Alberta's Heritage Savings Fund. Has me wondering how much of the $31 billion fund has been exclusively invested in climate change mitigation, environmental performance, and/or conservation efforts? www.alberta.ca/heritage-sav...

It's amazing when you think about the approach Alberta took to zebra mussels, as an invasive species. Biosecurity. Measles, a human infection, not so much. Sigh. Did the economics on measles not show a need to act? www.alberta.ca/invasive-mus...

Biosecurity has no borders. It's ecosystem economics. -- Nicky Swan #CalgaryClimateWeek

Of course I'm seated beside my friend, collaborator, and former colleague Bryan Helfenbaum at Calgary Climate Week. We choose to be here, and that tells you everything you need to know about how we did our previous work. 🌐

It's begun. Calgary Climate Week! So I sat down, because that's what my grandfather said to do (don't stand when you can sit) and a wicked posse of @ucalgary.bsky.social students with a wildfire mitigation technology came over to pitch. They had no idea who I am. I sent them to NorthX for funding.

It is wild that Calgary Council is just fine with where they got with Housing. Repeal, no replace, now de-prioritize. You know it is one of the root causes/fixes for the three remaining priorities? livewirecalgary.com/2026/05/30/d... #yyc #yyccc

Hey Alberta, are you paying attention? Or just your head stuck deep into the (oil)sand?

Tragically funny quote: "Treaties remain an enduring part of Alberta’s foundation, continuing to shape relationships and responsibilities today." Is that why Premier Danielle Smith walks around saying Justice Shaina Leonard's decision was 'an error'? Treaty rights transcend Alberta's borders.

Yes! ✊🏾🎾

Mon dieu....

Celebrate 17-year-old Gurnoor Kuar, who won best project award for innovation at the Canada-Wide Science Fair. She addressed the long standing issue of racial bias in pulse oximetry. Inclusive innovation! #WomenInSTEM www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This piece by @theturner.bsky.social is deep, as is the majority of his writing. It is worth the read, it gives clean technology and innovation their due respect. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Again, this is everything that is on my mind as I prepare for Calgary Climate Week, June 1 to 6. The energy policy and climate policy ground is shifting under my feet, daily. calgaryclimateweek.ca

This article digusted me so much that I read it twice to ensure the details were as horrible as I first thought they were. Ugh. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Dr. Patricia Bath overcame sexism, racism & poverty and saved the sight of millions of people. She invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment, 1986; it was patented in 1988. She co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, 1976. She died #OTD in 2019. #WomenInSTEM

Oh my good Jesus in heaven. Jeff Hoffman is about to blow the Jays lead in the bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded, Toronto up by 2 and only 1 out.

Now tell us who paid these two shameless tools to do the provincial government's work against Alberta's biggest whistleblower in history.

It is perhaps for the best that the Rainbow Bridge for pedestrians and presumably their pets was retired in the 80s but I also had no idea it is what is now the U of C arch! Thanks @klaszus.bsky.social for another great @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social CTrain story!

And they’re not wrong.

Good grief. 4-0 Carolina. Well at least I won't have to watch the finals with Carter Hart, from the Las Vegas Golden Knights, who was one of five charged with sexual assault in the Hockey Canada trial.

João Fonseca. João Fonseca! 🇧🇷🎾👏🏾

In Alberta School Resource Officer (SRO) = In B.C. School Liaison Officer (SLO). I tried to end the program in Calgary, but I wasn't successful. After several biased reports & other nonsense I did get Calgary Police Service to admit the program has been entirety enforcement based since the 1970s.

"We need more progressive Black women in public office for myriad reasons—but we also specifically need the younger generation of instigators in office, candidates who understand the times in which we live currently."

Quote: "Given a very high anticipated voter turnout, Elections Alberta anticipates requiring 60,000 or more Albertans to work as election officers to facilitate the vote and the count." Temporary work, but work nonetheless. Job creation via nonsense (non-binding, racist, and cryptic) referenda. 🗳

Montreal is asking people to reduce water use in a major way. At a news conference Friday, officials said new restrictive measures are necessary as it carries out repairs on a key watermain on Atwater Avenue. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

Pleased to share my latest article with @katepuddister.bsky.social in Police Quarterly, "Breaching the Public Trust and Sentencing Canadian Police Officers: Addressing Rotten Apples, but not Rotten Barrels or Orchards." Available open access: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Five straight years of record heat, sporadic rainfall and divided leadership has Corpus Christi in danger of becoming the first U.S. city to run short of water. Only rain — lots of it — can keep the coastal city from that grim fate.

Three teenage boys in England who were convicted of the rape and serious sexual assault of girls as young as 14 were given fines of £26--less than a parking ticket www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Column! By me! Steven Guilbeault quit politics the same week the activist group Investors for Paris Compliant quit trying to wheedle banks and fossil fuel companies. The master's tools will not reduce the master's emissions ... so climate action is back outside. thenarwhal.ca/steven-guilb...

This is what I needed today. Thank you @jlisayoung.bsky.social. (I'll be thinking about all the dudes that are red-green colour blind as they rock up to the school gym for this epic day in October.)

Quote: "Council’s vote occurred just a few days before Calgary Climate Week, from June 1 to 6." I once thought that I might pitch the idea of Calgary becoming at C40 city - a member of the leadership group of cities shaping urban climate action. Now I'll adjust my mind to participate in CCW. Ugh.

We’ve heard many concerns about public safety this summer. As you enjoy Calgary’s patios and festivals, look out for your friends and others. Please report anything unusual to the proper authorities. #publicsafety

And she died young from complications arising from her metastasized breast cancer. We have come so far in some ways since her time on earth and in others so much not ascopubs.org/doi/10.14694...

I will note Landon is happy to take a victory lap on X for removing the climate change declaration, but not so much for increasing tax costs for Calgarians from his other motion...

Goals (yup, 2 of 'em) must be scored in hockey. I just wish they were for les Canadiens. (Also, every time I hear Taylor Hall's name I remember that he was supposed to be the hottest thing on ice... and then wasn't. It's fine, he's 16 years in. It's fine. Old gals like me remember, though.) 🏒

I take it we won't see either of Cllr Chabot or Johnston at Calgary Climate Week, next week, June 1-6...? calgaryclimateweek.ca

They smell even better. 🌻

Thank you for your efforts and for your integrity @stevenguilbeault.bsky.social. 🙏🏾 🌐 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Yesterday, Calgary City Council voted to pass the Safer Together Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan and to keep the Free Fare Zone until January 2027. #Calgary #YYC #CalgaryNews #PovertyReduction #SaferTogether

Very insightful analysis here of Danielle Smith, Canada's Nigel Farage in waiting. A must read.
