Difficult to prepare for the effects of something you claim isn’t real 🥲

Another great video from Not Just Bikes explaining why #Toronto public transit isn’t nearly as good as it ought to be. youtu.be/HhQxNHrD6fA

Who can tell the difference? IS there a difference is maybe the most important question.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Can't believe it's been a whole year since I made this. Thank you to everyone who's shared what it means to them seeing Pride represented with images from near and far, all across the universe. The original page was taken down, but can still be found on archive.org: web.archive.org/web/20250129...

@tomflood.bsky.social Walking home from work in #Edmonton I just spotted a 15 minutes cities shirt in the wild (and it wasn’t my own)!

If you are part of the #Edmonton community please take and share this survey from #BoyleStreet: di.legeropinion.com/survey/selfs...

“Vehicles with higher, more vertical front ends pose greater risk to pedestrians. Vehicles with especially tall front ends are most dangerous to pedestrians, but a blunt profile makes medium-height vehicles deadly too.” Deadly by design. And they know it. www.iihs.org/news/detail/...

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli

More than 500 people have signed the letter to Minister Dreeshen! Will you stand with them and sign it as well? win.newmode.net/pathsforpeop...

New poll shows 58% of Canadians want proportional representation in federal elections. Millennials lead the charge at 67%, while even 49% of Boomers support the change. It's time to listen to the people and make every vote count! #cdnpoli

Tell the NDP to make proportional representation a top priority in this Parliament! Let’s build a democracy where every vote truly counts: fairvotecanada.good.do/proportional...

The real problem is a disproportionate electoral system which puts almost all Albertan seats in permanent opposition to the government in Ottawa. Proportional representation would give Albertans a real outlet—to be heard. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Finally! The thing everyone was asking for!

Trump: “We don’t do much business with Canada." The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative: "Canada has consistently been one of the top two trading partners for the United States." United States Census Bureau data: Canada was the top destination for U.S. goods exports in 2024.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” Via @grist.org grist.org/biking/one-m...

1/18 “This is what a two-party system looks like.” — Chantal Hebert, CBC Election Night 2025 First-past-the-post is failing voters. It fuels division, strategic voting, and regional shutouts—while pushing Canada closer to U.S.-style hyperpolarization. #election2025 #cdnpoli 🧵

“Today, I am resigning my membership in the United Conservative Party,” Cameron Davies wrote in an open letter posted to social media on Thursday. “Let me be clear: this is no longer the party I helped build.” #RecallTheUCP #abpoli 👉 thegravitywell.net/recall-for-c... globalnews.ca/news/1114991...

We took a tour of 132nd Ave from Fort Road to 127th street to check out the neighbourhood renewal underway. When you see the before & after of the bike paths going in, it's obvious how it makes for a healthier, happier, and safer community. #yegbike #yycbike #yeg

"I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.” Killed just before her wedding with 10 members of her family, including her pregnant sister. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The Liberals could win a majority with just 42% of the vote—even while getting fewer votes than the Conservatives. No matter who's ahead, this kind of distortion undermines democracy. It's time to demand proportional representation. #cdnpoli #Election2025

Bit of a moment in the Alberta legislature this afternoon: the NDP had a motion on the floor calling for a public inquiry into allegations of wrongdoing in AHS procurement and awarding surgical contracts. On the right you'll see UCP MLA Peter Guthrie voting in favour of that motion. #AbLeg

“I would like to see people feel free to be able to share their thoughts with the auditor general without feeling that there may be retribution for them.” Mr. Guthrie remains consistent. 👏👏 edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Hell yeah. Someone with some principles and a backbone it seems? #ableg

Silence from the Conservatives is the new normal. It’s disappointing, but not surprising. This is about democracy. It’s about making yourself accountable to the people you hope to represent in Ottawa. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Proud to sign the Pledge to Defend Rainbow Equality. I will always fight for the rights and dignity of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada and around the world. Learn more about this pledge at www.rainbowequality.ca @momentumcanada.net

Help us put proportional representation ads during the leaders' debate! Winner-take-all politics are dividing Canada. It's time for a system that reflects how we vote! Chip in now! www.fairvote.ca/help-buy-tv-...

If you claim to stand against authoritarianism, join us in demanding proportional representation—so no party can win a majority with just 30–40% of the vote. That’s how we protect our democracy. #cdnpoli #Election2025

thank you Elon and DOGE! what the world definitely needs is unchecked drug resistant gonorrhea

What a difference a month makes... Less than a month ago, Smith was appearing on US podcasts talking about how Poilievre was most in sync with Trump... Today? She denies all of that. So was Smith lying today or was she lying to the Americans? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Can we plug the woke back into the economy now? It’s pretty clear that the woke makes the number go up and getting rid of it makes line go down.

The far-right hijacked the GOP and gained power in the U.S. thanks to first-past-the-post. Proportional representation prevents hostile takeovers—no group gets outsized influence without real voter support. #cdnpoli #Election2025

We always hear the question of whether Conservatives can break into Toronto, but, there are already hundreds of thousands of Conservative voters there. First-past-the-post shuts them out. Proportional representation ensures every vote counts, everywhere. #cdnpoli #Election2025

Hey Alberta! Our Premier was in Florida yesterday fundraising with guy who thinks the idea of Canada as a sovereign nation is "silly" and that America should "liberate" us from our actual independence. Danielle Smith is a traitor and she needs to resign.

If only the pros outweighed the cons.

Republicans said they were worried about free speech on campus. Obviously, that was a lie. And any republican who is actually worried about it better be vocally denouncing this bullshit. #freespeech #freedom #hypocrisy

Our for-profit health care system is not only broken & cruel, it's extremely wasteful. While we spend billions on stock buybacks, CEO compensation & denying needed care, Medicare for All would save $650 billion & 68,000 lives a year per CBO & Yale University. Let's get it done.

👎 US gov ends funding to study the #health effects of climate change. “This is an agenda item for the #fossilfuel industry, and this administration is doing what the fossil fuel industry wants.” says Dr. @lisapatel.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/nih-...
