Most streets see a few hundred car trips per day.

The UCP is good with money and that’s why we can never vote for anyone else.

I DEMAND TO LIVE IN THE DUCHY OF EDMONTON.

The Bonnie Doon Community League is whining about proposed bus rapid transit on Whyte / near the University. They've now turned off comments after I praised BRT, so possibly not so eager to hear people speak up after all. Survey link: bit.ly/4nXdDiV. Go be enthusiastic about curb-running BRT lanes!

Very telling that our two-way, separated bike lanes are consistently within the top 5 for bike counter statistics. #yegbike

“Conservative politicians in Alberta, from Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney on down to Pierre Poilievre and Preston Manning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambition.” Great piece by @maxfawcett.bsky.social about Alberta grievance politics.

Love to see it - Summer Streets are in and a Progress Pride crosswalk is going in on 104 Street. #yegbike

"bUt noBoDY rIDeS bIKeS in EdMOnToN" 🤪🤪 For all those comments you'll see floating around, the data completely demolishes this narrative and these counts miss thousands of others in areas that aren't even tracked. #yeg #yegbike #bikesky

Great to see the total monthly trips eclipsing last year's high! It's worth also remembering that one of the busiest East-West corridors, 102ave downtown, isn't being counted because of the detour to 103 Ave for LRT construction.

Grovenor residents (a super minority of them) aren't against bike lanes, but these ones don't make sense (so they say). edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n... Sadly, this isn't a bike lane project at all. It's just traffic calming and the city is using money from the $100m to fund it. #yegbike

"Keeping streets safe" is BS language politicians and cops use to cover up what they really mean which is "I don't want my bougie voters having to see the poors."

This. Police will casually oppose bike lane construction, but yeah “safe streets”.

miss me with the Alberta built Canada nonsense lol

Sorry Albertans we have to do this extremely expensive performative thing that’s causing a level of economy-destroying uncertainty to appease the worst people in the province.

Auto detects bikes and turns red in a very reasonable timeframe @timquerengesser.bsky.social 🤩

I have thoughts like this all the time. It’s just such a shame that more people can’t break out of the dominant paradigm.

Narrator: no, there wasn’t. Jason Kenney, Danielle Smith, Ezra Levant, Pierre Poilievre and others manufactured false narratives about equalization, pipelines, and COVID, using social media to infect the minds of gullible Albertans. The only thing the feds failed at was calling out the b.s.

BREAKING: Alberta voter data has appeared on the website of a US company named repeatedly by separatist David Parker. After @rorywh.bsky.social discovered the breach, the website was taken down amid questions from Elections Alberta.

11,000 trips and none of the streets that these bike lanes are on have traffic jams. Ever. Too bad the UCP won't use reason or data when they decide to vandalize our bike lanes for lib-owning reasons.

The evidence I have seen suggests that when we let markets work, they are pretty good at providing most people with housing that works for them. As such, I think we should largely let private developers build the homes people want, subject to basic building safety and habitability rules.

My latest in The Walrus: thewalrus.ca/alberta-call...

2 * $0 = $0 Math checks out.

Edmonton changed its zoning and, voi la, it's working. (Your city could do this!)

High Level Bridge should be used as a pedestrian/multi-purpose bridge afterwards, not demolished. Every bit of a landmark in Edmonton as The Mac

New: Edmonton administration says it will need to decommission the High Level Bridge and Low Level Bridges. :o #yegcc pub-edmonton.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...

The High Level Bridge is an Edmonton icon. Is there any possibility of extending its life if those nasty cars, trucks and busses stay off of it? Can a bridge live longer if it is use to move people and bikes only?

This is appalling. And it is the perfectly logical consequence of the Alberta government’s anti immigrant rhetoric and referendum questions. #yyc #ableg #abpoli #referendumb2026

why is it that dullards like this only have the one idea

I will just add to this that, during the Biden presidency, I made a point of regularly calling out the good things the administration was doing -- which were continuous &, in aggregate, enormously consequential -- and ... none of that went viral. Very, very little engagement or amplification.

daaaamn london

People use bike lanes in Edmonton! I created a bluesky bot that will (hopefully) post daily counts of people on bikes going by the counters that are on bike lanes. Give it a follow! #YEGBike.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

With the greatest of respect to @kevincarmichael.bsky.social, Justin Trudeau bent over backwards for Alberta, and burned a metric tonne of political capital to build them a pipeline (to say nothing of orphan well funds, etc), all of which earned him nothing but new invented grievances in return.

trans people deserve to live, freely and openly and safely and unconditionally

It’s kind of cool to see your mayor ride by on an e-Brompton.

If our provincial government wasn't stuck in 2003 we'd be able to do this in our houses too.

Maybe stop voting in the UCP then Calgary? Edmonton did its part.

Pissing away oil booms is practically a shared pastime in Alberta. But the cost of pissing this latest -- and last-- one away will be higher than all the other ones combined. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/12/o...

I wonder if the zero consequences last time had anything to do with this.

might fuck around and start an Edmonton Separation Party

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

Gay men, bisexuals, and lesbians need to stand up for our trans siblings because it is the right thing to do and because THE BIGOTS ARE COMING FOR US NEXT.

New 113 ST protected #yegbike lane is amazing! Straight run for the most part, just one intersection at 106 Ave with a forced stop to wait if there’s east/west traffic.

Goons for me but not for thee.

This is more than enough justification to hold a public inquiry.

I wonder if we're going to do anything about THIS...

"how dare I get dragged into the mud" says former mudslinging premier of Alberta

I have to credit Jason Kenney for not being a “won’t someone think of the cops” guy wrt the elections data breach. Instead, he listed all the groups he spent 3.5 years undermining and attacking while in office: victims of domestic violence, journalists, activists, and public servants. Incredible.
