More public money going to subsidize driving. Something that's already about 90% subsidized. If we really care about climate change, we need to stop saving the automobile industry and start implementing climate-friendly policies.

#yegbike commute: warmish at +3°C with slight northwest wind. Surfaces fairly icy, snowpack covered with a ight sheen, sidewalks slippery. Main roads okay, but caution is required throughout.

Amber Bracken is one of Canada’s greatest photojournalists, and for the RCMP to mistake observers for participants, arrest her and prevent her from doing her vital work is a deeply dangerous precedent. This case is important for all of us.

“We have ORs sitting empty in our public hospitals. Opening a new private centre didn’t create more surgeons or anesthesiologists, before-and-after care teams & nurses & so on ... We really need to see urgent action for what is an urgent situation": FOM's Chris Gallaway. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Big news from me: I’m thrilled to be joining @policyalternatives.ca as a senior researcher and launching a health policy desk. The focus will be national and provincial health policy and services analysis, including privatization, finance, wait times, and solutions.

Reminder: journalists get arrested in Canada too. In fact, The Narwhal is in court right now challenging the RCMP for arresting photojournalist Amber Bracken. Our editor-in-chief,Carol Linnitt, testifies today and Monday, and court is open to the public if you're in Vancouver.

Which sent me down the rabbit hole to find this fab album. Roesy singing traditional Irish songs, produced by Donogh Hennessy, who I remember from many tours through Edmonton (Irish Club, Folk Fest), where he played superb guitar with Sharon Shannon and Lunasa.

Shout out to the Parks Canada staff for the tremendous job they've done in training the Bison of Elk Island National Park! #wildlife

We deserve for our health care decisions to be based on best evidence, not ideology & politics! But the only 'solution' this government has is more privatization & more paying out of pocket for the care we need. We ALL deserve timely public health care! Watch CBC on our YYC townhall this weekend👇

I love this woman.

On a more serious note, here's the leader of the separatist movement spewing racism and advocating for a "deportation program".

Harris is my "your work reminds me of" guy when people talk about my art. Oddly, as a self taught artist in the early 90s, I had no idea who he was or his work. My mom visited me in Calgary in 96, saw this & said, oh that looks like Lawren Harris & I said.. who? She bought me a book for Xmas 😏

Kids know: if you make a mess, you clean it up. On #InternationalLEGODay, send a LEGO postcard to the Premier and your MLA and tell them that polluters must pay for aging and inactive well cleanup costs. #CleanUpYourMess #ableg postcards.cleanupyourmess.ca?utm_source=F...

The separatist movement in Alberta is being fueled to a great degree by people encouraging Albertans to “vote for separation to send a message to those in power (Ottawa) and get us a better deal…but don’t worry, we won’t actually separate.” Uh…that’s basically how Brexit happened.
