92% of Albertans agree oil and gas companies need to foot the bill to clean up their mess. Wow.

Nine new office conversions build on a momentous year of downtown transformation #calgary #yyc

River Hall’s next phase is underway. A new enclosed pavilion is planned for Stampede 2026, allowing year-round programming and events in Eau Claire. Work stays within Lot 6 and won’t affect 8th Street. More updates to come. #EauClaireYYC #YYC #DowntownYYC #RiverHallYYC

My latest newsletter post is about some incredible scenes at World Cup qualifying in Europe. open.substack.com/pub/scottsti...

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland are heading back to the World Cup! Kieran Tierney scores an electrifying 93rd-minute to send his nation back to the tournament for the first time since 1998. The Scottish fans will be a lot of fun in North America. A 4–2 win at home over Denmark. Insane match

After an amazing first season of the Northern Super League, I wrote about the successes and also what needs to be done. My wrap on the inaugural season of the NSL for CBC Sports. www.cbc.ca/sports/socce...

thank you to the canadian parliament for not voting down the budget we hate in favour of an election we would hate more

I spent months following Ruby Liu's contentious bid for 25 former Hudson's Bay stores. This is the story of how the deal fell apart. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art... #retail

NSL co-founder Diana Matheson says Saturday's final 'a celebration of women's pro sport in Canada'

Thanks Calgary - a very fun discussion together at ⁦Wordfest. Enjoy reading FINAL ORBIT!

How it started… How it’s going…

Interesting news here about the future of River Hall’s site at Lot 6 open.substack.com/pub/eauclair...

@bensteiner00.bsky.social I think you need to investigate the atrocity of not having the UWCL being broadcast in Canada. Looking at the list of countries, we are the only one missing. What gives?

The world may feel like it’s turned upside down but some things thankfully still stay the same (since 1940!)

"The Poppy God demands blood" is the only viable explanation for why the poppy pin design hasn't evolved to stop pricking people.

Interesting bike locker spotted near train station in Granada, Spain. #yycbike

👇🏾Bluesky please @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @djkelly.ca @mykeatkinson.bsky.social @natefor8.bsky.social

@conradhackett.bsky.social may be able to provide some insight on this. I find his posts very insightful.

Are we taking credit for the new green space in Eau Claire? Yes. Yes, we are. 🌿 We’ve been advocating for more accessible, beautiful public spaces in our neighbourhood and it’s great to see progress taking shape. 🔗 shorturl.at/0PpdS #EauClaire #DowntownYYC #YYC #UrbanGreening

Everyone running into the road in the scramble intersection and then running back out when the lights turn lol

Looking forward to it Annalise.

Please get out the Vote, Calgary! @seumasb.bsky.social #yycbike #yyc #voteyyc

This is great news. Congratulations @eauclaireyyc.bsky.social for the advocacy.

Sunday prayers 🙏🏾

Last night, Sonya Sharp said she doesn't support either proposed #greenlineyyc downtown alignment & instead wants a SE LRT to nowhere that even the UCP has rejected. Calgarians deserve to know if this is now the official Communties First party position. #yycvote youtube.com/shorts/d-OOx...

I concur. Please email [email protected] and [email protected] and pass this on…

I would live here. Office-to-residential conversions are going to make a positive impact on Calgary's downtown for decades to come. Good read by @ximenaka.bsky.social #yyccc www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/...

From the ABteachers instagram page:

One need only to look at this chart to understand why Alberta cities look good to out-of-province residents. The amount of $$ in people’s pockets after housing costs are huge. (This Globe piece on housing is really good) www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Mayor Candidate Brian Thiessen's Calgary Party tells Smith and the UCP to butt out of city hall business. Says Sonya Sharp's Communities First crew are provincial "lackeys." Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #yycvote #yyccc #yyc #abpoli #cdnpoli

Total Calgary operating budget for 2026 is $4.6 billion. Sad that two current councillors (Sharp and McLean) and one former councillor (Davison) believe that the city of Calgary is spending $87 billion just on climate change.

Can I tell you how indispensable @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social has been in its coverage of the Calgary election. Whether you are following it closely or not. Videos of numerous ward and mayoral forums. And there most valuable service, a campaign primer. www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-elec...

Great episode of The Spotlight Hour by @lindaolsen.bsky.social with Dr. Zahra Goodarzi and Dr. Dilpriya Mangat about their work in dementia and what we can all do to improve our cognitive health. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Straight (progressive) talk about municipal parties:

Still time for voters to consider a fresh refreshing voice, Brian Thiessen, a look and have him surge, no?

Big talk, bold promises from candidates who won't tackle the real problem — city hall itself. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abled #abpoli #cdnpoli #yycvotes #yyc #yyccc

Glad Thiessen brought it up…

Well, the playground in Eau Claire is a hit if my 11 and 9 yo insist on pulling over after day camp pickup #yycbike

“UCP is increasing private school support at a much faster rate than funding for public schools. Alberta is now the only province that puts public money into the construction of private schools.”

Calgary’s suddenly a few years away from a population milestone planners had expected to come by mid-century. I don’t think ppl realize we’re already a 1.6M city. By me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Great support in Calgary for the Teachers Rally. I could not find a high enough place to get some great photos. Regret not taking the drone.
