Holy shit THEY STOLE MY BIKE TODAY I doubt you'll see it since it was stored serviceable, but if you do see a bicycle with my name on it, TELL ME #yycbike #yyc Reported on @bikeindex.org

Nobody bikes in Calgary #criticalmassyyc #yycbike #criticalmass

That was… a pretty massive @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social for May #yycbike

Found the city’s transportation master plan.

Third MEC labeled (Tire Co under the packaging) tube in a row to fail at the valve stem. #yycbike if you bought any of these I’d take ‘em back.

in the timeline where Lukaszuk did not run his petition it is very possible that there is no October 19 referendum. Forever Canadian better prove its worth during the campaign period. if this was just an exercise in raising Lukaszuk's profile then he was running the same grift as Smith!

Calgary cyclist John Ragan told CBC News that he believes bike lanes are safer to use, but in some places they seem unnecessary. “In some cases yes, but in many cases we don’t need them," he said. A quick Google search and there’s a John Ragan in Calgary who works in car sales… hmmm🤔 #yycBike

Good episode

Kinda think this one is downstream of Mr. Hogan's actions in justifying and lying about police assaults on Palestinian students and their allies two years ago when he was vice president of comms at the UofC.

On a new 🌾 @albertaadvantage.bsky.social 🌾 the team examine the province's reactionary backlash targeting trans people and children and unpack how it may be rooted in the cultural construction of childhood and education. albertaadvantagepod.com/2026/04/16/i...

I learned a lot in the research for this and I'm proud of the episode we put together. Reactionary cultural framing of childhood and family life can make it hard to talk about trans issues productively w/o unpacking a lot of that first. We try to do that here.

Peoples brains have been so ruined by electoral politics that all the top comments for this article on r/Alberta are just pricks shaming rural Albertans for voting UCP, when: 1) it's O&G companies doing the harm, 2) it's the AER that's failing & 3) The NDP are pushing MORE pipelines! #ABLeg #ABPoli

If you suggest that the Alberta NDP should not be subordinate to the oil and gas industry you get former MLAs in your mentions telling you to give up on the party and vote Green instead.

The ANDP freakout over the Lewis win reminds me of nothing more so than the PC freakout over the ANDP win in 2015, which is kinda funny.

*Lewis wins* Nenshi: Even though Lewis was elected, we still like pipelines! Smith: they say they like pipelines but they don’t because Lewis is an eco-socialist And here is where I point out: automatically accepting the premise of your enemy’s argument before they even make it is a gift to them

I don't think this man believes in anything beyond his own career.

The Alberta NDP loves to let Conservatives frame their messaging and to boost the right wing narrative. They're scared of their own shadow and would hate to ever be caught standing up for something.

Nenshi's New Energy Plan is UCP-Lite Early responses suggest the only Albertans interested are UCP partisans and separatist trolls. Almost no news coverage. Zero. Nada. A major flop and embarrassment for @abndpcaucus. #ableg #abpoli markhamhislop.substack.com/p/nenshis-ne...

I just wish there was room in the Alberta NDP for people who wish the province wasn't run by and for oil and gas executives

So a giant fuck you to any and all Albertans who voted for Lewis, because the provincial party couldn't bear to be associated with anyone who gives a shit about the climate.

Yikes

If someone's focus on a political position is electability they've already lost the plot. You need to actually believe in things and want to improve peoples lives, not just vacillating between approved points you don't yourself hold!

reposting this for the Shannon Phillips fans in the chat bsky.app/profile/albe...

If no one on the "left" side of the political spectrum in Alberta can imagine a party that doesn't kowtow to oil and gas then I don't think we should be surprised if the rest of the country leaves us behind.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

A Black and Muslim lawyer says that Durham police ripped off her hijab and slammed her head into a desk. She was finishing up legal work in an interview room when it happened “without provocation.”

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Here is the independent panel's timeline of how risk was identified with the Bearspaw Feeder Main 20 years before it ruptured in June 2024.

Budget drops and cork pops

In this ep we make the point that you can never have a budget as harsh as 1995 again unless you rebuild the welfare state first, which we haven't done. But I think I'm going to be mumbling the phrase "Minister Champagne is repealing the yacht tax" to myself for a while. 🍾

Truly a fate worse than death.

packing luxury tax breaks into your austerity budget is crazy. they're dabbing on us. they tricked you with a bunch of elbows up shit and now they're dabbing on us

As Netanyahu launches the final phase of his monstrous plan for Gaza, they are eliminating the few journalist witnesses still left alive. Unbearable that under Carney, Canada can’t manage more than occasional symbolic gestures. Sanctions, weapons ban, real consequences now!
