The data on #Bikelanes are clear & consistent: GREAT for cities in just about every metric you can think of. So why are politicians across Canada attacking them? We dig in with @bikecalgary.bsky.social's Doug Clark & Alyssa Quinney PODCAST: www.podcastics.com/episode/3835... #yyc #yyccc #yycbike

Shortly after civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, AG Robert Kennedy shrugged off concerns of the Secret Service and went into the street to inform the crowds of the news. This was his 'from the heart' message to them & the rest of the country. share.google/bg3oChuq9ABV...

"Smith said the incorporation of the new mandatory marker would ensure that Alberta was "prioritizing those who are Canadian citizens first" in accessing social services." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm very uncomfortable with the latest Alberta plan to put our citizenship status on driver's licenses. It feels creepy and subversive. Othering people. Making personal info publicly available. American. My vote on this is is no.

"Crop damage in this swath was total, with grain crops leveled and corn left as mostly bare stalks." You may not believe in climate changes, but how about weather?! We can't keep deferring the cost of climate solutions to our children and grandchildren. #YYC share.google/ASyUl58ZVRh5...

The “school shooting industry” is one of the most depressing term I’ve ever heard.

From wreaking havoc at Athabasca U to reaping worldwide scorn for a book ban, Demetrios Nicolaides exemplifies what happens when power-monger politicians meddle. AU is in crisis. Why Are So Many Execs Fleeing Athabasca University? via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

Haha. Politicians everywhere. The lack of understanding of basic climate science is going to do us in. And we keep deferring climate liabilities to our children, year after year. Where are the champions!! Please stand up! youtube.com/shorts/Cmgzq...

Is this not the height of hypocrisy?! youtu.be/2kzCzfvkC7Y?...

Hey Calgary, if this doesn't make you upset enough to demand change, what will? #firesmoke #climatechange

“The UCP gov’t’s disdain for the vaccine couldn’t be more obvious. The positive choice, which [the UCP] rejects, is to devise a free-of-charge system that doesn’t waste. Alberta is now the only province to make people pay for protection against this terrible illness. It’s plain wrong.” #ableg

Important: @albertawilderness.bsky.social and @cpawssab.bsky.social are public interest, charitable orgs with a mandate to protect/conserve AB wilderness, habitat, water resources, etc. for the benefit of ALL Albertans. WTH is going on here?! #ProtectOurWater share.google/heC0g9VeYMHI...

I’m pretty sure that most young Canadians aren’t lining up to do things like farm labour. (This is why one shouldn’t generalise so broadly).

This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?

Capricious, idiotic, destructive -- hard to come up with words to describe how bad the Trump Admin's decision to cancel an offshore wind project that was nearing completion. Hard to imagine why foreign companies would invest in the US when their work can be cancelled on a whim. @canarymedia.com

I just can't fathom how this man and his cronies think. I can't wait for the leader who ultimately erases the damages caused in this term. "Trump escalates attacks against Smithsonian museums, says they focus too much on ‘how bad slavery was’" | CNN Politics share.google/8MuhE9yOcvPq...

If you think it’s problematic that Homeland Security sent ICE to intimidate Governor Newsom during this press conference Just wait until Trump applies the $30 billion allocated in the Big Ugly Bill to expand ICE And sends out these thugs to “maintain order” during the midterm elections
