This is the primary problem with municipal politics. Many of them won't vote. But you can bet every single family homeowner looking to reverse the city's successful efforts at improving housing affordability and choice will be. #yyccc www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This, but just about every definition, is fascism. The only question now is whether everyone lets it continue. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

A generation raised under air-raid sirens is now old enough to fight. We asked five young Ukrainians why they voluntarily traded university for the front line. “I couldn’t keep telling myself they didn’t need me,” says Serhiy, 20. kyivindependent.com/we-asked-5-y...

Westjet: We're introducing new spikeless seats that can be booked for an additional fee! Me: Wait, there are seats with spikes? When did that happen? I don't want spikes on my seat. Westjet: And with our new premium basic upgrade economy plus fares you won't have any!

“Brian Thiessen, running under The Calgary Party banner, was particularly blunt in his response.” “”The premier, if she wants to resign her seat and run for mayor of Calgary, then she should do that,” he said, accusing the provincial government of interfering in municipal affairs.“

For three straight years now, Alberta has been the most popular destination, on net, for Canadian residents moving within the country. And for nearly four straight years, Ontario has seen the most Canadian residents leave.

Really sad. This stretch of path can be beautiful, but it bears the brunt of Calgary's homeless/drug problem. I witness troubling stuff here daily and drug use under this bridge is constant.

Now that Instagram reels are teaching me the real words, I'm learning I was singing the wrong lyrics for about 80% of it.

Tylenol should lean into this with micro doses for pregnant women. Less than Elon's mom took, but enough to get your kid into a good engineering school.

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

Trump should be reassuring the country at this time. Instead he is sowing fear

I am an absolute defender of all free speech. Unless that free speech involves quoting a popular right-winger who died recently.

Fascinating finding on the effect of banning smartphones in the class. The bottom half of the class improved, but students in the top quartile did slightly worse than the control group (who kept their phones).

During the planning for the SW Ring Road, I wrote to both #ableg and #yyccc about cycling infrastructure and safety. The ring road cut off many popular routes. I got crickets in response. This was preventable. #yycbike www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Obviously UCP policy on bike lanes is a step backwards. But places like 1st street on my commute - no bike lanes but bikes routinely out number cars and just "take the lane" - make me wonder if it will really be worse for bikes or cars. #yyccc #ableg #yycbike

Politicians claiming bike-lanes cause congestion ARE LYING TO YOU to gain your attention and distract you from other issues. Thx @brenttoderian.bsky.social! Well done 👏 www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Wow, Don Braid is not mincing words. "School boards will now require proof that a kid was female at birth. Critics call this a gross invasion of privacy. More broadly, social laws that encourage people to formally rat on each other can have ugly consequences. They’re a prime tool of dictatorships."

With the UCP book ban paused, I had to have a serious chat with my kids tonight. Let them know I better not find out they've been sneaking into the school library searching for pornography. #ableg

"I've read lots of ministerial orders, this one was a doozy… it looked like it was written by ChatGPT."- NDP leader Naheed Nenshi on UCP’s school book ban rules. He says it wasn’t a misunderstanding, the EPSB did exactly what the order required. LISTEN: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/p...

Used to be called the Streisand effect but in this MAGA North age maybe we need to rename it

WATCH: What are BETTER SOLUTIONS for traffic congestion in cities, especially as big employers are now forcing people back to the office? PLUS how politicians claiming bike-lanes cause congestion ARE LYING TO YOU! Watch my CBC interview with @ianhanomansing.bsky.social that played across Canada.

Great to see real progress on housing affordability in Calgary. From the Calgary Real Estate Board: "Improving supply choice has changed the dynamics of the Calgary market driving price declines over the past several months." #yyccc t.co/LEWGBqR5aV

Man that UCP book ban was a big own goal when you are asking the public to trust you on education ahead of negotiating with the teachers. #ableg calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

With the #UCP now issuing dire warnings about a shortfall in our budget due to a struggling oil industry, I wonder if they have any regrets about intentionally torpedoing a rapidly growing industry in the province. #ableg calgaryherald.com/business/alb...

Let Down was always Radiohead's best song. More points to millennials for recognizing it.

Regular #yyccc critic and sometimes mayoral candidate Oscar Fech has passed away. Sold his land for $75mm on the east side of Calgary after it was annexed by the city. calgaryherald.remembering.ca/obituary/osc...

Friends have been reporting favorably on their rides on #Mexico City’s Cablebús, a three-line gondola system integrated into the CDMX transit network. I understand why some people are suspicious of gondolas as a serious transit mode… 🚠🧵

It's ironic that while driving is quickly becoming unaffordable for many in Alberta, the UCP is fixated on getting rid of bike lanes. #yyccc #ableg

The best financial advice I think I would give a young person today is - Figure out how to get by without a car at least until you can comfortably afford to pay cash for one (and maintain it). #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Crashes and fatalities are up since the UCP curbed speed limit enforcement. Watch for insurance rates to continue rising as our streets become less safe. #ableg #yyccc #yegcc www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Most of the time I buy the idea that journalism today suffers from a lack of funding and resources. Then I read three days of straight coverage on all channels about a kids illegal tree swing.... #yyc

Over 7000kms of roads for cars and somehow, according to Alberta's provincial transport minister, bike lanes are a scourge, degrading Calgary's car culture, making people fit, healping people get around in an affordable way, and wtf....why would we want that? #yycbike #yyccc

I live in a neighbourhood full of 3+ bedroom houses occupied by elderly (often single) owners. It's refreshing to see thought on policy shifting away from "aging-in-place" to incentivizing more efficient use of housing. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

This Bow Tr pedestrian crossing is horrendous since they put in the U-turn. This family was waiting to cross when we arrived. After waiting several minutes, I froggered across against the light. As far as I know that family is still waiting there. #yycbike #yyccc @yyctransport.bsky.social

Really sad news. The white truck in the foreground here is interesting. There are almost always wide dually landscape trucks, often with wide trailers parked on this stretch for some reason. They typically obstruct a portion of the bike lane. I wonder if that was a factor. #yycbike #yyccc

The UCP's weird attack on city bike lanes is crazy stuff for a government that spends most of it's time obsessed with jurisdictional overreach. #yycbike #yyccc #ableg
