Regarding the Alberta Independence halfwit assembly supposedly taking place at The Canadian Brewhouse tonight — I think this is a genuine statement saying "We don't support this, and don't want it here." Good job, Brewhouse. #ableg #cdnpoli #yeg

This morning in Vancouver, Amber Bracken will take on the RCMP in a historic lawsuit brought by @thenarwhal.ca over her arrest while working in the field. @arnokopecky.bsky.social on why this lawsuit matters.

Absolutely crazy the amount of money waste from this UCP government from cancelled contracts alone #abpoli #ucp #daniellesmith www.reddit.com/r/alberta/co...

Finished the CoE climate survey. Focused on transportation options, cost, destination parking, etc and reduced sprawl. No safe secure bike parking at downtown destinations for customers. Make your voice heard! #yeg #yegbike engaged.edmonton.ca/climateactio...

Great piece on the economic case for e-bike infrastructure. Imagine you live in the most dense city in the country, with great eats/shops/bars in your hood but ALSO great stuff in the next one over. E-bikes expand the radius of what's easily available to you. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/07/o...

On this day in 1883, the Ontario Rugby Football Union was formed. Teams that eventually joined the league included the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tigers. In 1903, it was the first league to adopt the Burnside rules, which led to the style of Canadian football as we know it.

You can have both kinds of symmetry on the same plant: This Ratibida pinnata (📷: Joshua Mayer CCBYSA2) has two kinds of flowers. Ray flowers are zygomorphic; disk flowers are actinomorphic. Of course, the Asteraceae are famous for this trait. #Asteraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Improving access to safe abortion care reduces maternal mortality and morbidity, supports gender equality, and contributes to achieving sustainable development goals.

Edmonton police quietly replaced their surveillance plane in 2023 with an unusually expensive model marketed as a luxury aircraft, an access to information request reveals.

“It’s time to change the framework we use to assess the value of public transit, so it factors in health and social benefits that come from greater equity, reduced sedentary behaviour and less air pollution.” “We simply can't have and create sustainable, healthy communities without transit.”

These are my wishes from Canada too!

Just one New Year’s wish for everyone: Be the positive change needed in the world.

“The phenomenon is known as induced demand. The result is an endless cycle in which congestion leads to highway expansion, which invites more trips, which brings back traffic…The pattern is so inevitable that economists have dubbed it the iron law of congestion.” #InducedTraffic

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms? Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people." Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

“In 2023, cars and their drivers killed 8,820 American pedestrians and bicyclists — 7,314 pedestrians and 1,166 cyclists. They injured another 136,281, an increase of over 5,300 injuries from 2022.” Put the responsibility where it belongs. Via @jalopnik.bsky.social

Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion. So much for “making cities better…” Via @wsj.com

Outstanding! And will result in more trust (from me anyways)

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, dumb land-use sprawl, too many (& bigger) cars being driven too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.

Danielle Smith is dismantling public healthcare piece by piece. If she isn’t stopped, universal care will be decimated. Mark Carney must draw a line and that starts with standing up for healthcare.
