One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

I can vividly remember being in the middle of this magnificent tree imagining Robin Hood standing in the exact spot. This tree was a huge part of my childhood. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’m old enough to remember something about a 90-day healthcare guarantee and a massive restructuring that was supposed to fix this problem. Instead the metrics are worsening.

This week, Alberta released new migration numbers. And far from being overwhelmed by immigrants - we are actually losing international newcomers. In Q1 2026, there were -648 net migrants to Alberta of international origins, a drop of -105.8% from Q1 2025. Check out these graphs. #ableg #abpoli

Bob Joseph's "21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act. Helping Canadians Make Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples a Reality." I suspect Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and her advisor Bruce McAllister could both use a copy.

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation has issued a response to the comments made by Danielle Smith’s executive director Bruce McAllister. And while pointing out that he should be fired, they are only asking for the respect of a public apology. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

We are living in a golden age of ostensible super powers shooting their own dicks off

Love my dog.

Yep. And to keep thinking its not enough money.

This government is a disgrace www.aupe.org/news/news-an...

Woohooo! Lets go Canada

And yet we can't afford hospitals amd schools

Alberta, what do you get out of the $91,000,000, yes, $91 million referendum? Nothing. This $91 million could have been spent on building 3 schools, or 4 senior homes, or emergency rooms, hiring doctors or nurses. Instead, you get nothing. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ayh...

Love it when someone sums up my thoughts much better than I can. This is a great if disturbing read

Alberta mayors, taking a stand for Canada. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Gorgeous.

Yep

Very cool @rorycj.bsky.social thought of you. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Our government will give sports teams billions of your tax dollars for stadiums, billions to build fossil fuel plants, billions to corporations to improve profits. Our government will not give taxpayers solar panels to reduce utility costs or build great public transit. Our priorities are against us

RAH, IT'S PRIDE MONTH RETWEET TO SCARE A HOMOPHOBE/TRANSPHOBE

Yet again this darn government. Supposedly there's no money but we can afford new provincial signs and other stupid stuff.

While Albertans were distracted by separatist nonsense, you may have missed the fact that Danielle Smith has functionally stripped Albertans of their constitutional right to MAID, making us 2nd-class Canadians. Where was the outrage? Well, here’s mine. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #MAID

Absolutely

Of course they are.

If you are unsure what to do, here are some action steps. Small actions make big differences. Taking action will help you feel better about yourself and your community.

So simple but so effective im sure.

Despite what she’s saying in this press conference about how she can’t ignore the frustration of Albertans, I’d say that DS is pretty comfortable ignoring the frustration of AISH recipients, teachers, healthcare workers, advocates for trans youth, environmentalists, judges … and on and on. #ableg

Hopefully someone will ask this question to Premier Smith during her media availability on May 22 at 12:30 p.m..

International crimes.

#waternotcoal "If the existing cos are unable to maintain the health of downstream ecosystems, why are we going to trust even more coming in and mining our foothills and mountains... just another warning that we shouldn't permit new mines in these sensitive ecosystems upstream of everybody."

St. Albert welcoming everyone. Life is precious, embrace it!

Last week was one worth taking stock of! Mamdani balanced New York City's budget after a $12 billion deficit and Newsom balanced California's through 2028. The Supreme Court restored mifepristone access...for now. And Democrats are leading in Senate polls in red states, including North Carolina.

"Albertans are ready for portable, plug-in, so-called balcony solar generation... while the use of the units is gaining traction elsewhere, Albertans and Canadians are being left behind due to murky regulatory hurdles based partly on safety."

If you want democracy, don’t try to do an end-run around democracy. Test your ideas in the electoral process. The judiciary is supposed to also serve as a check and balance to potential political corruption. And they do. To frame it as anti-democratic is bordering on rhetorical insanity.

Hey, Canadian media. Can you please stop portraying Alberta as separatist? A minority of Albertans want to separate. The majority of us want to separate from the separatists. Report on that and the divisiveness the UCP has fomented.

Local woman wakes up, thanks the Alberta First Nations who asserted their treaty rights to stop the separatists, makes oatmeal.

People always forget how much Jesus loved oil pipelines.

No Court reporters for criminal trials? Curious, that. Gotta wonder if they don’t want reporting done when their co-conspirator Sam Mraiche goes to criminal trial.

My daily piece of joy in the midst of all the terrible news we're currently surrounded by.

The social safety net doesn’t just protect the poor, it protects the rich. History is full of examples of exactly what happens when a significant number of people in a society have nothing left to lose.

This is going the wrong way. Very wrong, in light of 3 million Albertans being doxed due to UCP "legislation".
