Think of CO₂ removal like a time machine. How far back does planting 100 million trees take us? One mature tree takes up ~25 kg of CO₂/year, so 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back ~33 minutes in a year. Nature will not save us from fossil fuel CO₂.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat. 💙🗳️

calgaryherald.com/news/balcony... Every drop in the bucket helps. Why are Canada and Alberta so slow to adopt these technologies?

You wanna know something really wild? E-bikes are already displacing more emissions from autos than electric cars. Wild! Break free from the uncertainty and cost of gas prices - buy an e-bike! www.cbc.ca/news/climate...

#Alberta is worth listening to Lisa on this topic. This has now impacted every single albertan. #yyc #yeg

“When you’re unable to drive, the flaws in our public transit system become obvious. Sidewalks that end suddenly, street crossings that feel like a sprint for your life, and bus routes perfectly timed to miss the train. When transit is your only option, these things aren’t minor inconveniences.”

A butterfly vigil was held today, the one year anniversary of Virginia's suicide. She was a warrior for the Epstein survivors sisters & so many victims around our nation who did not receive justice. Thank you Virginia & I hope you are at peace. 🦋 www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

I do wish people cared as much about this elderly woman who was killed in the exact same way as they do for the Lamborghini. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Holy shit!!! Can we do this in Alberta? Local Games Free!! #yeg #yyc

UCP are doing the most expensive public consultation ever. Wasting our taxes!!

Yet again, the AER is making decisions that put the profit margins of oil and gas companies before the interests of ordinary Albertans and the land that we depend on. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG @cuym-alberta.bsky.social

Plug-in balcony solar will cut electricity bills for homeowners and renters. Bring it on. Costs the province nothing.

Nice example of being the sand in their machine and not giving up!

NYC study shows men are 2.6x more likely than women to bike to work. When protected bike lane coverage is high, women’s cycling rates rise significantly faster than men’s. When protected lanes are limited or fragmented, women’s participation drops sharply. Good bike investments give women choices.

One day I hope to see Alberta's electricity to be produced by less than 50% from fossil fuels

At this moment, 19-Apr-2026 @ 11:59, 58.4% of Alberta's electricity is being produced by fossil fuels. Wind is at 37.2% of capacity and producing 21.0% of total generation, while solar is at 93.6% of capacity and producing 17.4% of total generation.

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

Not only should companies have to pay more up front for cleanup costs but any/all directors, CEOs, or executives of a company should not be able to be a part of any other company if they've gone bankrupt and made the taxpayers clean up their old messes. #alberta thenarwhal.ca/alberta-orph...

Ok crazy idea.... But how about if municipalities give half of their police budgets to CBC's 5th Estate who actually does the work of investigating?!? #yeg #yyc Why have none of the police been actually been effective at looking into this? www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

I spoke with a director at the City of Edmonton about the removal of the Whyte Ave scrambles. It sort of felt like a congressional hearing, where you know the answer, but the person responding refuses to say the words. The city will not admit scrambles are safer.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Hey to everyone saying Nenshi should stop saying he's NDP: You can still be NDP if you believe in worker rights/pro-union, fair taxation, voting reform, enviro and human rights. The NDP umbrella can be large and include everybody. You don't have to tick all of the boxes to be included!! #ndp #andp

#yeg tell @edmontonpolice.bsky.social where they can reduce their budget. #EPS, more comment fields needed in your survey. What’s up with the marketing questions embedded in this survey? edmontonpolicecommission.com/police-budge...

Hey #yeg - Transportation is for everyone, not just cars. Maybe a decent bikeshare next? "They succeeded because bikes were meaningful — embedded in transit systems, protected by infrastructure, and recognized as public mobility, not a side attraction."

Please! If you're Albertan please read this just to see how much the #UCP has messed up our Province. This is a great summary. And depressing. #alberta #yeg #yyc

The final days of the Alberta Legislature’s Spring 2025 session pissed me off. I rolled up my sleeves right after and started a research project. I present to you all an #ableg 🧵: Danielle Smith’s Legislative Wrecking Ball: Part One

This is MAGA level grift - robbing those in Alberta that have perpetual victim-hood, and getting rich off of the backs of their own donors. Someone is funding this to stir up resentment and hate, but I think the long game is to fleece those that don't think critically and just want to hate.

This is what I don't understand about the #ucp in #Alberta. If you encourage multiple energy sources then you are more resilient and less likely to get hosed in your pocketbook. Maybe Marlaina shouldn't be so obviously beholden to the O&G companies!? Bring back policies that are pro-renewables!

Alberta's Bill 11 is the biggest ever threat to our Medicare. We need urgent federal action to enforce the Canada Health Act. That's why Health Coalitions, health care workers & advocates took action across the country today! 📢Amplify our call: dayofaction.healthcoalition.ca

I signed this as a start to protect healthcare and education in Canada! Deadline to sign is April 3rd. Please share this petition to show the Federal government that Canadians want better (or equal) healthcare and education across Canada. And protect it from provincial gov't that wants to ruin it.

Edmonton Police: OOPS! All Israel! The Chief flew to Israel to meet with police leaders there, a decision panned across the board. Except for noted thin-blue-line enthusiast Councillor Mike Elliott, for whom the thin blue line remains stronger than ever.

It’s incredible to see the town of Taber receive the $50,000 Kraft Hockeyville prize! Communities like Taber remind us how powerful it is when people come together around something they love.
