#yeg is moving in wrong direction. We need a bold council and administration that can say No to NIMBYs! (Sorry to steal the CPC playbook with verbing the noun) but we do need urban density!

It’s cruel for the UCP government to put further financial burdens on Albertans who want to protect their health and their loved ones and not get COVID. It’s dangerous, it’s callous, it’s anti-science, and it’s anti-public health.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Daniell Smith’s separatist push shows the danger of big-tent parties. Even though separatism is unpopular, her one-party majority gives her full control. With proportional representation, conservatives who oppose it could form their own party and be heard. #abpoli

Murdering and dismembering a Washington Post journalist is not a Canadian value. Murdering a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil due to their opinions about India’s politics is also not a Canadian value. The PM should be ashamed of himself. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Genius idea for a parallel NHL playoffs. Finally stop the race to the bottom just to get a high draft pick. #nhl #draftlottery #playoffs And these teams can make some money too.

Let's be clear: three of the four books flagged by the Alberta government today as containing "inappropriate content" feature queer and trans people. This is moral panic. This is the same blueprint of book bans in the US. And this is happening in Canada. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

Shift the balance of power. Don’t buy their cars. Don’t watch their movies. Don’t read their books. Don’t buy their merch. Don’t invest in their crypto. Don’t use their social media. Don’t visit their theme parks. Don’t dress as their characters. Don’t wear their hats. Don’t spread their propaganda.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

OF COURSE cars suck, but so many white anti-car urbanists are folks with no concept of how existing public transit infrastructure makes it all but impossible to navigate the city safely with kids UNLESS you have a car. ESPECIALLY if you aren't in a wealthy neighborhood. And guess who that impacts.
