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

Did the IOC just violate its own Charter? Curious what lawyers think, but if this was not the case, this charter needs a serious update.

The American dream is alive for the top 1% The bottom half continues to be fed the myth that they have a choice about being poor and the only way is to be smart enough to play this game of outsmarting the system for their individual benefit @thomaspiketty.bsky.social made it clear. Wealth Tax!

If an alien is trying to study how human beings can create a society where the most privileged live in their own world, untethered from reality, this clip from a US senator will be informative.

For the sake of the next generations, can someone ask Ken Burn, or any other talented documentary filmmaker to make a sequel to the Fog of War 2 If you don’t learn from the mistakes of history, you are doomed to make dumber mistakes at a larger scale Watch below 1/ archive.org/details/TheF...

When it comes to investment in battery storage, there is Texas and there is everyone else. That’s why Alberta needs @nagwanyyc.bsky.social to be the energy minster to unlock this investment in Alberta.

Nice gesture from Calgary’s mayor Speaking to people face to face , 1:1 , where they are at is so needed from any leader at any scale. Civic engagement is about shared responsibility, connection and trust, not efficiency.

I give money to @thenarwhal.ca each month because I want to live in a society that honours truth and free, independence, journalistic excellence and integrity Thank you for your excellent reporting on a wide range of topics.

If the super-wealthy (top 10%) in oil exporting nations are concerned about the impact of oil prices on the wellbeing of the bottom 50%, why don’t they support a wealth tax, a windfall tax or a progressive revenue neutral pollution tax? I know many who get richer as prices go up are celebrating

Don’t stop paying attention to what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians. Brutality will never hide the truth as long as people are paying attention.

everyone who is 35 and older and has wealth should take notice The decision to reverse this is in your hands. This is your responsibility myself included.

Will “Fred” call his powerful contacts again to get him out of this mess? The public deserves to know the TRUTH. Nothing less than a public inquiry will get to the bottom of this. Anyone who is against a public inquiry risks appearing to have something to hide.

Why do some of these names sound very familiar? is this the premier’s friend who gifted expensive skybox hockey tickets? This is the type of story that makes the work of journalists so important even when they are threatened or intimidated. Public Inquiry NOW! albertaviews.ca/the-hidden-c...

I needed some good news and what better news than a community bike shop where kids can trade their bikes for larger ones as they grow. Can’t wait to bring my bike to this space and meet these amazing people Thanks @youthenroute.bsky.social and @bathtubbikes.bsky.social

I pray for a large enough US market crash for bloodshed to end. This maybe the only hope for Trump to stop this war. Human life is worth more than any investment portfolio

If this had happened in NY, London, Paris, or Sydney, there would have been vigils, the world marching in solidarity Don’t look away Don’t say you did’t know BEAR WITNESS FEEL some grief NEVER accept from anyone who justifies why kids must die for them to feel safe www.bbc.com/news/article...?

When anyone negatively impacts teachers, all of society suffers. Excellent reporting by the CBC’s Elise Stolte on the thousands of untold stories from Alberta classrooms. I stand with teachers. @albertateachers.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta separation is bad for businesses “51% stated current discourse around Alberta’s separation is impacting the provincial economy. Of those: 93% indicated impact is negative 27 % of respondents reported no impact 22 % said they don’t know” [yet] calgarychamber.com/whats-new/re...

Meanwhile in Alberta, people can’t find a family doctor while the government is banning books such as the 1984 (graphic novel) and The book of genesis. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

100% agree the traders get wealthier the more blood and destruction and competition for power continues. What is “good for business” for a few, is often bad for most. How you feel about this depends on how close to the top one benefit directly or indirectly, myself included.

A women and wealth Gala tickets of 4 classes depending on how rich you are These well intentioned, corporate focused events miss the point. It is not about women joining the top 1% How about a woman and wealth and income inequality event for the least wealthy? 1/

27% of Albertans have a positive or neutral view of Trump. @davidcoletto.bsky.social Can you share more about why that many people have these views? I hypothesize that part of the answer is a version of “Trump is good for [my] business” ? but I think there is more to the story

I am thankful for any organization that has the power to protect communities from a investment that benefits the few at the expense of everyone at the local community. Investments are welcome when the benefit is worth the costs. Thank you- Alberta Utilities Commission.
