“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.” And it has kept growing from there. Leadership. #Paris

AB premier is "out of touch" with Albertans. Smith is mired in corruption and doing her best with smoke and mirrors to distract and disrupt. She needs to go sooner - not later. Thanks @janisirwin.bsky.social for speaking up for ALL Albertans. Another #UCPFail

There's been plenty of attention on the southern stretch of Alberta's eastern slopes when it comes to coal mining. But north of there, near Jasper, a thermal coal mine is asking the energy regulator to approve a massive expansion. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-vist... #ableg #cdnpoli

"Petrostates try to hide, and ultimately obscure the truth when it conflicts with the message they have decided they want people to hear. In the case of Alberta, the preferred message is that oil and gas, not clean, inexpensive renewable energy, will provide Alberta with continued prosperity."

Racism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate speech etc can no longer be considered as acceptable free speech. People worry about a "slippery slope". We have been sliding down a dangerous slope for a long time. What we see in the USA and the conservatives in Canada is proof of that.

Danielle Smith has one card to play: picking fights for the sake of fighting. If she doesn’t make an enemy out of the federal government, she’s left with no one to blame but herself. Albertans are proud to be Canadians. We know better than to play games when our nation’s sovereignty is threatened.

All of us need to consider why we use social media. Does it really help us to connect? Is it a source of credible information. Social media was wonderful when it started but bad actors have ruined it for their own gain. I have given up on social media with exception of Bluesky.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
