These days it can feel like climate has slipped down the priority list. Between rising costs and competing pressures, people see it as a separate, less urgent issue. 🍁🌎 But climate solutions are also solutions to affordability, jobs and resilience. #EnviroWeek

I think the fact that one of the Alberta separatist movement's main proponents believes King Charles wants to assassinate him should be a bigger part of the conversation surrounding this debate

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Separatism for Alberta turns out to be a Russo-American joint influence operation. bbc.com/news/article...

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

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

Bow River flows continue to increase. Still a long way from risk of basement flooding (500m3/s) or overland (850m3/s). Chart via www.calgaryriverusers.org/river-flows/ #yyc

When people say 'AI isn't a bubble because the technology isn't going away', it just shows they don't know what a bubble is. The internet didn't go away. Railways didn't go away. Tulips didn't go away. An asset can be overvalued, even if its useful.

With 141 days to go, the popularity of separatism remains stagnant in Alberta. This does not mean federalists should be complacent. The ballot question is tailor-made for strategic voting, and the Overton Window has shifted. These factors mean things can change in a hurry.

"Believe it or not, the planks of the UCP’s winning 2023 campaign platform were tax cuts, safe streets, mental health supports, education and career training, investing in tourism, improving healthcare for women and children, and a guarantee to maintain public healthcare." UCP hid their agenda.

In April 2026, wind plus solar generated more electricity than fossil gas GLOBALLY for the first time ever! And it happened during the first month of the Iran war and Hormuz fossil fuel crisis. Looks like apart from being cleaner and cheaper, renewables are also harder to destabilize.

Bicycles deliver the freedom to tow my canoe down to the river without having to worry about parking or having to carry the canoe to the boat launch. Plus, there’s a nice café right near the river.

Rob Anderson co-authored the Free Alberta Strategy. Danielle Smith chose Rob to run her campaign and made his plan her platform. The referendum has no wrong answer for Smith. Every result moves the plan forward. Here's the facts: factsmtr.substack.com/p/the-free-a... #abpoli #alberta #ableg

Provinces don’t have the right to secede. The only thing they can do (pre duty to consult) is call a referendum, imposing an obligation on the rest of Canada to negotiate. Unilateral secession with USA help is illegal, but that’s what this King’s Counsel is welcoming: youtu.be/8CoLUYP0xs8?...

We’re sometimes told trees can’t grow in hot, dry cities. Not true. In fact trees do the MOST good in hot, dry cities. “Trees in hot, dry areas can have a greater impact than in humid cities. Trees in areas like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson are particularly effective at reducing heat.” #UrbanTruth

In the Globe: Alberta separatists receiving tangible support from the US Christian nationalist movement. Starting to wonder if Christian Nationalism is just dressed up, institutional misogyny 🤷‍♀️ www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

The Department of National Defence quietly inked a $3.7-million contract last year with American data giant Palantir, newly released documents show. It’s the latest in what some experts see as the government’s deepening links to the controversial U.S. tech firm.

Elections Alberta has updated its website in light of yesterday's referendum secession question OiC. FWIW I think that this is now an excellent, informative and well organized website. We shd all have a speed link. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.elections.ab.ca/resources/me...

The Calgary Chamber of Commerce is supportive of council’s decision to keep the free fare zone, and urging council to not only keep it when the decision comes back in 2027, but also expand it to the Stampede Grounds.

Zip up your raincoats, and adjust your swim goggles, Calgary. it's gonna be a wet couple of days, with up to 100mm of rain expected. The Bow River is currently ~330 m3/s, which is above average for this day of the year (~130 m3/s), but nowhere near the record of 480 (although rising sharply). BUT...

It's because you won't let them have credit cards, in a cashless society what's a wolf supposed to do

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Calgary's Chamber of Commerce isn't pulling their punches any more on the impact of separatism. #abpoli

Nothing says “serious leadership” quite like repeatedly undoing your own past decisions instead of actually making Calgary safer for our children. Can’t wait for next week’s episode of “The Bike Path Project Was Fine Until Facebook Found Out About It.” #yyccc livewirecalgary.com/2026/05/28/p...

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

BREAKING: A Russian attack drone has struck a residential building in Galați, Romania, according to reports from the scene. Romania is a NATO member state. Initial reports indicate multiple people were injured.

In 2023 Albertans paid $37 million for an election with 13,000 election officials. The referendum in October will have 10 colour coded petition questions and will require 60,000 to 90,000 election officials. All for NON-BINDING referendum questions. 🖕🏼🤬🖕🏼🤬

Danielle Smith says Alberta should stay in Canada. So why does every political move feel like she’s trying to quietly unzip the country at the seams? Visit suddenlycanadian.ca and see how hard it is to make the maple leaf stick. 🇨🇦 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #ABVoice

the two-way protected bike lane on Folsom is *finally* going in and I would like to salute the enthusiasm of the contactors putting in the temporary bike stencils omfg the bike helmet

I just completed the Alberta Facts Survey. Check the facts for yourself! nextstepsalberta.ca #abpoli #Alberta I got 1 question wrong.....lol

The headline should read as follows. "Separatist #DanielleSmith tells members of her separatist #UCP party not to be separatists. They ignore her. #Alberta continues on a downward spiral." #ableg #yyc #yeg #forevercanadian 🍁💪

“We’re all paying heavily for sprawl, whether we live there or not, & we’re all financially benefitting from infill housing, whether we live there or not.” — Our own @brenttoderian.bsky.social A critically important #UrbanTruth is the staggering costs of sprawl, and the huge value of infill growth.

Re: Free fare zone Most of these city councillors are not serious people. Abdication by amendment #yyccc

This is actually an important shift for @cityofvancouver.bsky.social - bringing fairly simple multifamily and mixed use zoning to hundreds of city blocks across the whole city. Past planning approaches put multi fam bldgs only on polluted arterials (or) in big towers. This is better.

Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa are mostly manufactured, always exaggerated and, often, completely illusory. Now it's time for the people who spent the last decade amplifying and weaponizing them to put out the fire they helped create. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/26/o...

Tired of seeing people living on the streets? A progressive taxation of just 1% on homeowners with properties in excess of $5 million dollars could end homelessness in Vancouver. Policing poverty and profit driven SRO's haven't worked. Supportive housing does.

Premiere Smith’s illegitimate attempt to end run the system after the system failed to produce her desired chaos is a master class in ratfucking. Here’s how the question is structured: Should Alberta stay in Canada? Yes - Alberta should leave No - Alberta should stay

"A Case for a United Canada" It has been a whole two weeks since they took the stage, but lots has changed since then on the separatism stage. A great discussion between MP @coreyhogan.ca and former Premier Jason Kenney, moderated by Jen Gerson. www.youtube.com/live/dSEg0Tx... #abpoli
