Good.

Canada’s recognition of a State of Palestine matters, but it is not itself an action that meets our international obligations to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, break the siege on Gaza, and impose a two-way arms embargo and sanctions against Israel. We take to the streets still. Join us.

The Calgary Board of Education has sent this letter out. They detail the name/pronoun change requirements, the opt in requirements for reproductive health education and the banning of any materials not approved by the education minister. Berta. 2025. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I've been exceptionally lucky to build real community online and in real life from the connections I made on #ableg Twitter so I know there is immense sorrow reverberating throughout every group with which I'm connected right now. I am sending love to those who are feeling this most deeply.

I was privileged to speak at the opening of Green Dome Islamic School—the result of a 15+ year journey and the incredible dedication of Imam Soharwardy and the Muslim community. More than a school, it will host events, support charity work, and serve every Calgarian for generations ahead. #yyccc

I don't think "normal" is really a useful point of reference anymore. There's no "normal" to be had or restored. The closest thing to a last real "normal" we had was 2015, and COVID closed the door to restoration.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

I don't have an opinion here as to the merits, legal or political, of the federal government's intervention in the upcoming Supreme Court of Canada hearing as to whether or not there should be constraints on a legislature's ability to invoke s. 33 (the notwithstanding clause) of the Charter. But...

One of the reasons I’m working with @jeromyyyc.bsky.social on his campaign is because he’s driven platform policy like this. The barriers newcomers face are extensive, and this is a vision of the city where we try to make things easier and celebrate our new neighbours. www.jeromy.ca/platform/ #yyccc

kind of incredible...what masks, distancing and school closures did to influenza activity early in the pandemic. Dashed line is pandemic onset in Ontario. Red=flu B, blue = flu A. Masking and closures are not sustainable population level strategies, but cleaning indoor air (same result) is.

Premier Smith touts new citizenship markers on driver’s licenses and provincial IDs as means of preserving “election integrity” and “streamlining services.” Those justifications aren't borne out by evidence, leading critics to conclude there's an ulterior motive. @jaredwesley.ca writes. #abpoli

This is a particularly dark day in Alberta. We must protect trans kids in this province, no matter what #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta to require citizens to carry little picture of Danielle Smith in wallets

I can’t believe they’re gonna make me defend the guy who made the misogynistic Man Show

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Canadian social media habits, by generation: "For Gen Z ... 60% say they scroll TikTok daily; 73% are on Instagram; 70% are on YouTube." Millennials ... the most likely to check Facebook daily (74%). Gen X is split, 63% use Facebook daily, 53% are on YouTube..." via @davidcoletto.bsky.social:

Anywhoo, some detailed answers from Diane, including: "It is unclear from the government announcement as to what purpose the inclusion of this information on Albertans' driver's licenses will serve. It's also unclear what the benefit for Albertans would be." Updated: tinyurl.com/bdz6eztk

Here's what the Alberta Information and Privacy Commissioner Diane McLeod said today in response to Premier Danielle Smith's announcement yesterday that she's making citizenship markers mandatory for driver's licenses. Statement from McLeod in full: #ableg

Strange, thought Alberta wanted out of Canada! Or is this a new way for the UCP to target immigrants?

Here, as in many provinces, the provincial government is intervening in municipal affairs regarding non car infrastructure, to keep us separated and safe. You know, alive. Apparently our provincial masters don’t like that. Breaks my heart that they want us dead

As the culture war around bike lanes continues, cyclists are paying with their bodies #yycbike #ableg

“Reforming council confidentiality is really essential to rebuild trust, strengthen accountability and ensure Calgarians can see their leaders are making choices in the light of day and not behind closed doors." Read more: calgaryherald.com/news/mayoral... #yyccc

Elections should be contests of ideas—not battles of backroom influence. And after the ballots are cast, we deserve leaders who make choices in the light of day–not behind closed doors. I'm running my campaign the same way I'll lead as mayor: transparency and accountability to Calgarians first. 1/2

Honoured to attend as the National accessArts Centre celebrated the largest donation to disability arts in Canadian history! A landmark moment for accessibility, inclusion, and creativity--right here in Calgary. To support: accessarts.ca #yyccc

🚨We’re about to reach a HUGE milestone: 1000 donations! And what better way to celebrate than with… the tiniest lawn signs we could get. The next 20 donations—no matter how big or small—will get a limited-edition mini token of our huge appreciation! Visit jeromy.ca/donate #yyccc

A communications failure of left-of-the-far-right politics today is the lack of step 2. Step 1 is alert, raise the alarm, make people aware. Step 2 is tell people what they can do, how they can help, or - as the right side is good at - give them an action and reason to fight.

Please stop telling trans people we're overreacting

While one candidate is committing to stopping safe wheeling lanes, @jeromyyyc.bsky.social is over here aiming to "take the politics out of active transportation by tying funding to usage" as part of his walking & wheeling policies in his mobility platform platform.jeromy.ca/policy-brief... #yycbike

Amazing Op-Ed by @drrichardlarouche.bsky.social While supposed grownups argue over bike lanes, it’s the kids who are negatively impacted the most by not building them. #calgary #yycbike #edmonton #yegBike calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

TBH I think it's hard to overstate the gap between the assumed guard rails and reality. people think "well it might be wrong on the details sometimes" and the reality is that it is **coaching children to commit suicide** you wouldn't expect that from ANY product! why would that exist!

Which leads immediately to an information problem: that group is not well-versed in how this tech works or its risks and harms. Many of them assume it's better and safer than it is. If the bank and the university and the boss and the teachers union are all on board? It must be okay

I ride 100+days/ year. I disagreed on some areas of execution but cycling is a legit option that should be safe. I advocated for infrastructure such as 2nd St & Barley Belt. Also pitched track to run parallel to Red Line LRT as easier way to get downtown from the south. share.google/kl32lWskJPrf...

Former city councillor Farkas says he’s ‘ready to deliver for Calgarians’ if elected mayor

it's wild to me how so many people who should know better are going around telling people these signatures are for a referendum when they are not for a referendum, the paperwork says they are not for a referendum, and thomas lukaszuk himself says they are not for a referendum

I know the question written in the application says "propose a referendum on the following question". But that's not what the application is for. Like, even if your resume says "I want to be a head chef", if all you've applied for is the dessert prep kitchen, you aren't applying for head chef.

Talk about misinformation! Here's the application and link to the actual document: www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initi... He has clearly selected Legslative or policy proposal, NOT constitutional referendum IN THE APPLICATION. (or he'd need 600k signatures) www.elections.ab.ca/uploads/2025... #ableg

I just want to point out: since 2019, this government has increased spending to private schools. It had increased funding to charter schools. It had spent public money to build charter schools, something no other provinces has done. In fact, no other province even has charter schools. Choices.

In fairness, Farkas has come to the party with a bold but reasonable plan to tie active modes funding to mode share.
