I am excited to go to cyclefest today full schedule here cyclefest.ca/schedule/ @youthenroute.bsky.social @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social

For the premier to now claim it will be costly for Alberta to separate is like Giving matches to your angry family member who is convinced burning the house down will solve family problems and he will get a pay out from insurance, then telling him it will cost more rebuild after the fire!

The Alberta government is happy to quietly celebrate raising the pride flag for one day while making it illegal for schools to do. Celebrating diversity of people is much more than a token or a gesture, it shows in the actions and policies that impact people’s lives www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

A health benefits provider want me to sign up to an app so where I can take photos of anything I eat for an algorithm to tell me how not balanced my diet is. Reading the privacy policy which starts with “WE TAKE YOUR PRIVACY SERIOUSLY” made me want to throw up. 1/2

This is a worthwhile story to tell A $320 billion worth and no one is talking about it. Wake up Alberta!!

I care less about declarations and more about making the city work And would love to see major cities in Canada adopt a version of this that meets their citizen’s needs. @yuleloveyyc.bsky.social @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @klaszus.bsky.social

Danielle Smith cannot smooth talk her way into confusing Albertans on what the duty to consult means. Premier Kinew masterfully stood up to correct her with firm, but respectful manner. This is a leadership!! I wish we have more of Wab Kinew in politics. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“I cried for the first time in decades,” he said. “I’ve never been more terrified in my life. There’s this ugly, gnawing feeling in my gut that won’t go away.” For Learie, 52, [UCP cuts] isn’t just a policy change, it’s a life-altering crisis @ryanjespersen.bsky.social @kathleenpetty.bsky.social

When a government doesn’t want teenagers to read George Orwell’s 1984 (graphic novel), is the very reason teenagers SHOULD read 1984 , and I would add Animal Farm to the list.

Critical mass happening on the province wide day of action- This Friday!! “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" Margaret Mead

Daniel Smith thinks she is playing with a release valve to manage a small angry group, but in fact she is playing with dynamite and you don’t need much to blow things up.

Good Energy Homes are Healthy homes!!! Amazing work by my great colleagues Checkout their work below 👇

“Yes, the MOU slightly improves industrial carbon pricing relative to its current status in Alberta – but goodness, that’s a low bar. “ From an op-ed by my colleagues at @climateinstitute.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

I am going to this silent walk this Saturday morning at Confederation Park, Calgary. Walk for Water

Tree Party coming back May 30 Check out many events of @calgaryclimatehub.ca at www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/events

This headline is so misleading, it blames the bike, not the car that caused the crash. So if I was wearing a red helmet and a car hit me, did I have a red-helmet crash? 🤔

This severely under-represents the situation. More than 500 people had access to the full voter list and “security” was looking away for about a month. I am changing my phone number for sure after this.

The universe keeps telling me this economy we have built is not working in service of life but in service of wasteful growth I was looking for the compost bin to see this smack my personal action / foot print in the head. No compost option! the system is designed for waste !!

Can anyone guess what’s wrong with this indoor biking workout machine ? I could not figure it our until I realized I can’t pedal with both legs.

Congrats to @carrietait.bsky.social for journalist if the year- National Newspaper Award Just being a journalist these days is worth celebrating. Truth depends on a public that is interested in truth, and truth tellers who will seek it and tell the story. Hats of to all true journalists !!

Heat pump hate ? I guess ignorance can be manufactured if that aligns with narrow interests This is seen in many gas producing regions globally. They don’t like any new technology that takes away market share or reduces demand. This is about power, not truth www.desmog.com/2026/04/23/f...

What the Alberta UCP is doing is a form of gerrymandering called “cracking” This video explains it and yes, people should be upset when politicians select their voters. m.youtube.com/watch?v=qILu...

Here we go folks, the disinformation machine is making the expected noise that will enflame by design. Reminder this fire was sparked, given air, and allowed to grow by the separatist UCP government.

This is a signal worth paying attention to. Look forward to reading the book.

Shrinkflation or smart (deceptive) marketing ? Will the busy consumer spot the difference?

The smoke from the burning building across stony trail near beacon hill in the NW triggered a visceral response in me is it fire season? how toxic is the smoke? I am thankful to the publicly funded fire department and all emergency crew attend, attending to the situation.

One advantage that an electric vehicle (or bike) has over a gas vehicle is that you don’t have to worry about cheaters mixing fuel with water when you charge your vehicle

The Alberta Energy Regulator is not doing its job. When someone coughs blood from leaky oil and gas wells, you don’t tell them, file a complaint. (we know where that goes, nowhere) Listen to Teresa’s story www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

When a government goes after a reporter, you know what they are reporting on is worth the public’s support and attention. Thank you @carrietait.bsky.social for doing the work to inform the public. No government should be too afraid of the truth.

I do understand the rational of being over cautious, but visibly walking around campus with a big knife (even if you are the chef) is not a good idea. Let me guess, the chef was not wearing kitchen attire but a clown costume ?

I am upset at this UCP government creating new rules to solve problems that don’t exits. Creating a health system based on who can pay is a bad idea, period!!

The US thinks Iran is motivated by money, not by its ability to cause maximum pain globally. Physics ultimately win. Stock markets in the US will catch up to reality and Trump will have no way but to spin a victory to save those markets Colossal level of needless suffering, waste and injustice

I agree. This should be the design rule, among many such as maximizing health and well-being, not engagement metrics.

learned all about bats from @albertabats.bsky.social these amazing 7gram insect eating flying mammals are declining in population leading to farmers using more pesticides Thanks to Wildlife Conservation Society Canada Light pollution is attracting insects away from bats that feed on them 1/4

The Rwandan genocide began on April 7, 1994, 32 years later on the same day, Trump threatens to commit one at much broader scale

Stay safe out there cyclist and motorists, there is ice everywhere. Hope everyone is OK. #YYC calgarysun.com/news/local-n...

@calgarylibrary.bsky.social I am so grateful for all the work you do, the space you hold, and the millions of minds you help develop. My 10 year old has a weekly shopping list of books. She was so upset we missed the library on Sunday after 5 PM and first thing we did this morning is the library

One thing many countries don’t have is a health system that warns citizens on how to prevent harm from spreading, like food poisoning, or infectious disease Thank you to everyone who keeps us safe This work is done by unknown heros saving lives everyday but is very rarely celebrated

If you like water not coal, find a location to sign so that this question in added to a vote Even if you like coal, I am sure you also like clean water more. #YYC www.waternotcoal.ca/sign-the-pet...

Happy Jane Goodall day! A wise and caring human. I grieve your departure from this works and celebrate your legacy.

One thing that gives me hope is that like physics, human incompetence as much as it can be hidden and masked will eventually tells you who is reliable and who is not Mic drop….

When the minister gives himself power and is challenged, he gets defensive. Millions of families depend on professional librarians and teachers to do their work WITH parents Politicians cannot tell people what not to read. A politician should not the have the power to ban books in a democracy

This is what society tells young people they need to know to be “adults” “I am about to become an adult in a few months. I don’t really know how to file my taxes or do anything to save.” How about life skills like learning how to grow and cook your own food or basic outdoor survival skills?

Cenovus chairman says “we are not on the low cost end” When asked to pay for fair share of his pollution is a bad faith argument. This is the opposite of what they tell investors. Remember this guy is negotiating not to pay for any pollution It a timbit per barrel for heaven’s sake!! 1/

Life is non-binary Life is a complex continuum of ecosystems These hirarchical taxonomies, categories and labels that humans create don’t change this fact, but it DOES allow some to have more power over others This is about power, not fairness and it goes beyond humans opressing each other.

Based on the final numbers, there are more people who voted for @naheednenshi.bsky.social in the @albertandp.ca race than who voted for @avilewis.ca and @heathermcpherson.bsky.social (combined) across Canada which tell me these are two parties with differences, and differences are OK 1/

Textbook example of intentional self confirming evidence. It looks something like this: People gave us clear feedback, 90% of those who support this policy said they like it. Anyone who is swamped with daily life demands will assume “people” here means most people, not a selective biased sample

Masterful This can be PBS front-line world-class documentary @pbs.org you can talk to @carrietait.bsky.social to get the full story.

What? Is the UCP telling elected municipal representative they need to behave better? How about better Ethics rules for provincial political staffers and MLAs ? Accountability for thee but not for me?

Had an amazing experience at @youthenroute.bsky.social community Hub. Fixed a bike tire and learner some pro tips. 👨‍🔧🙏 Talked to amazing humans And traded a kids bike with no currency , banks or an “app”, the same way humans traded for most of their existence This is a bright spot in the city
