The real question we should be asking is how did marigold build 7 blocks of protected on street infrastructure in two weeks while the private contractors delivering the $100m projects are taking months or years to deliver projects, some of which are shorter.

"Fewer people" housing policy vs. "more people" housing policy:

ETR doing the Lord’s work

$100 million doesn’t get you much these days.

When you see this situation this winter, remember that 100% of people wlaking and biking are Edmonton residents. They pay for the snow removal. That's not true of many people who drive in Edmonton. We subsidize people from other communities and get lower quality service than they do.

in related news, I regret to inform my fellow Calgarians that I am still riding a regular bike with no winter tires so the 8 months of winter means we need to be prepared for winter to extend into mid July #yycbike

Great video about 132 Ave street scape project in Edmonton #yegbike youtu.be/0OdyYLA78PQ?...

yeah, bad news - our Radrunners have been good to us, performing great in all Edmonton weather since 2019 the batteries still work great too

The @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast eviscerated him once too. John Forester was a world-class jerk responsible for many bad things!

Update on party politics at Edmonton city council: www.linkedin.com/posts/reed-c...

Here is our advice to increase the safety of your child by 0.001%. "buses and trains are the safest form of land travel" no comment on that "protected bike lanes increase safety for children who get around by bike *a lot*" also no comment what does this have to do with fidgeting with car seats

Mamdani has shown considerable self-control in the face of some quite horrific tantrums. Self-control imo is the quality modern masculinity is most sorely in need of.

The lack of self-reflection in this op-ed by the board chair of the Better Edmonton Party says a lot about why the party lost the mayoral election. Even with a $2 million war chest and a big head start they couldn’t convince more than 30% of voters that Tim Cartmell should be Mayor of Edmonton.

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Shhh, that's the quiet part out loud.

How's this for energy abundance? Millions of Aussies will start receiving three hours of free power each day in 2026. This is what happens when you make rooftop solar less than a buck a watt!! "Rooftop solar installations cost about $840 (U.S.) per kilowatt of capacity before rebates." 🤯 🔌💡

Well, the new EPSB Board of Trustees has the "women are underrepresented" problem cornered at least. 🥴

Sidewalks shouldn’t stop for side streets, pass it on

A 98% strike mandate for the nurses is historic on its own. Now consider that they voted this way even after seeing the government clobber the teachers with Bill 2.

Imagine explaining away what is potentially terrorism by arson because people might have to look at a 6-plex.

Just to remind ppl that zohran campaigned as unapologetically pro-Palestine so stop saying it’s an untenable position

So refreshing to see a politician be an unapologetic champion for LGBTQ+ rights, stopping the genocide in Gaza, even kicking cars out the lanes that buses drive on, and winning! Maybe being cowardly and quiet is a losing strategy!

SIR, PERMISSION TO LIB OUT, SIR

Winter shelter in this city for the many unhoused is a real, non-theatrical issue, Knack moved on it immediately, the funding commitment is enough to be impactful, and even though the UCP disapprove the conservative councilors did not obstruct it. This mayor and council are off to a good start.

Whyte Avenue is Edmonton's most vibrant main street, but that doesn't mean we have to accept noise, traffic violence, and congestion In an opinion article we submitted to the Journal, ETR Chair Daniel Witte talks about his experience spending Halloween on Whyte edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

"[Chief electoral officer] McClure says the cost of verifying these petitions and other potential referendum initiatives is taxing his staff, and he needs another $13.5 million to do the jo[b]" hahahahahahahaha

Do you have a humidifier in your house? The kind that blows cool mist? It is probably making your air dirty. Like, forest fire dirty! We have an air pollution monitor and we recently bought one of these "ultrasonic" humidifiers. Immediately, our monitor started showing dirty air! 🤔 1/

Just over the weekend, 15 UCP MLAs have been targeted by constituents motivated to recall them, with at least two more starting the process. #ableg #abpoli #totalrecall #generalstrikeab https://operationtotalrecall.ca/

NEWS: Students protest on St. Albert Trail for teachers

Good investigation here by @timquerengesser.bsky.social for @taprootedmonton.ca edmonton.taproot.news/news/2025/10...

Just a 22-year-old who started the season in low-A ball mowing down the most expensive offence money can buy in the World Series

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

We either have rights or we don’t and in Alberta we don’t. We’re all gonna have to unite to fight this class warfare.

The Notwithstanding Clause always has been Canada’s Presidential pardoning power. A bomb waiting to be set alight.

All this Reagan talk reminds me of a funny chart.

Thanks for your work, Ken!

Who wants to go trick or trest with me in Belgravia dressed up as 8-plexes? 😏 #knockingOnKevinTaftsDoor

"Simply put, the Geometry Problem is that cars are much bigger than humans. ... these physical differences mean that when we optimize places for cars, they end up not working well (or working at all) for any other mode. They become *car-only* places." Great post, lays it out very clearly.

This is a very important Reddit post about the Notwithstanding Clause that all Albertans should read. www.reddit.com/r/alberta/co...

“Corporate registrations show developer Chris Nicholas is a director of all eight companies.”

Edmonton's mayor-elect often rides his bike to work. It's not a big deal. That's how far we've come, folks. It's normal.

Remember that there was no evidence of fraud or hacking that justified all this mess—the province forced cities to count everything by hand on the basis of a thoroughly-debunked conspiracy theory about ballot counting machines from Fox News.

My account will now consist of me just reposting this op-ed every day.
