NEW: Global News has learned the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has paused $129M in federal Housing Accelerator Fund money to the City of Calgary pending further clarity on citywide rezoning. globalnews.ca/news/1154274...

1/ I did a thing this week! I introduced my first bill in the Alberta Legislature. The Energy Storage Planning for Investment Act.

Systemic vs individual #ClimateAction aside, do you get anxiety about your own #CarbonFootprint because your job requires you to fly from time to time? Hub co-chair @robtyyc.bsky.social has a cool answer for you: calculate your emissions, charge yourself a #CarbonFee & donate it to the Hub! #yyc

Ward 7 could have been so easy. It's been demoralizing to watch things go off the rails due to petty politicking, classic progressive purity testing, and old grudges (and frankly, a ton of sexism). Are we ever going to learn our lesson?

On the morning of Friday, July 11th, a man in his 60s was hit by a dump truck and killed while riding his bike on a painted bike lane. This is the worst nightmare for anyone who tries to get around in this city without a car. 1/4

Danielle Smith gov't fought for 2yrs to not release its Alberta pension plan survey results. It's finally out. Only 10% of people expressed support, 63% said don't. by Ed Journal's @matthewblack.ca ack , at long last. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Calgary drops from 5th to 18th liveable city due to heath care, which is a provincial responsibility. But Post Media blames the Feds saying “strains in Canada’s national health service intensified” is the cause. We don’t have a National Health service in Canada, so WTF are they talking about?

The Hub joined some other really cool Alberta orgs like #IndigenousClimateAction to send a message to #G7 leaders this weekend. Check it out! #PickAPath youtu.be/1YqzF4Tw3oc?... #yyc #Climate

Top climate priorities: 1. Electrify everything. Yes even that. 2. Stop burning anything for energy. Seriously. 3. Build and install as much solar PV and batteries as you have money for using the latest technology. If we don’t do these 3 things as fast as possible our civilisation might be lost.

I arrived at the Portland airport to see this sign. And who did it make me think of? Two cycling advocate friends who are riding a bike in their Bluesky profile pic. w @robtyyc.bsky.social @daorcey.bsky.social #Cycling

“The more we talk about separation, the more people are saying that they feel attached to Canada."

“Investment in Alberta’s renewables sector has dropped off significantly owing to unprecedented policy and regulatory uncertainty, with the number of wind and solar projects in the province’s connection queue shrinking for the first time, a new report has found.” Lasting damage. 🎁

So kind of like Alberta, but WAY bigger? (We don’t have food stamps, obviously, but very low income people had their benefit clawed back). Cool.

“Let’s be honest about what this is. The government doesn’t want to own the referendum. It wants to be pushed into it, to blame the people for asking, to stay a step removed from the consequences. That’s not governance. That’s cowardice.” 🎁

Good morning with good news: Clean electricity (renewables & nuclear) jumped from 35.03% and 37.33% of US electricity in March and April 2015 to 50.48% and 50.75% in March and April 2025! How did USA reach the 50% Clean Milestone? Wind & solar surged from ~5-7% in 2015 to 24% by 2025. #energysky

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet. Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Whether you're championing #Solar, #HeatPumps, #CleanAir, #ActiveTransportation, or #ElectricSchoolBuses — knowing how to talk to schools and elected officials matters. Join us May 15th for 'Talking Climate in Tough Times' @amandalhu.bsky.social @youthenroute.bsky.social

because my neighbours didn't already think I was strange. results a bit mixed, main issue seems to be bumps causing foam in the bubble mix which gums up the turbine (as well as major spillage)
