It would be awesome if Calgary could implement a docked bike share system. Maybe a free fare zone wouldn’t be needed downtown if people could inexpensively rent a bike. 🤷‍♂️

Rescinding the RCG base zone will not only put affordability and construction jobs at risk, it threatens transit funding as well. $860 million on the table potentially lost because of bad policy and ideology over substance.

These are not smart people.

1) Independence makes you *more* dependent on federal policy, since they get to decide whether or not you can access TMX. Forget about ever building another pipeline west.

2) You need the goods (food, etc.) that cross "our land". Blocking their passage is self-injury.

YouTube video by The Urbanist Agenda Podcast How to Actually Improve a City (w/Brent Toderian)

If you haven’t LISTENED to this yet & you care about how to ACTUALLY make cities better, this might be the truth-telling interview you’ve been waiting for. Jason from #NotJustBikes interviews @brenttoderian.bsky.social & boy do they get real and go deep on what works AND DOESN’T WORK.

Please share.

Just because this shouldn’t be a surprise to ANYONE, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be absolutely outraged about this, & shouldn’t tolerate it for a second. We have to stop confusing the complete predictability of their evil and corruption as some weird form of futile acceptance. Too many are doing that.

Fun post about how Google *can* detect fake images generated by Google AI, but only if you know the obscure way to do it.

The mainstream Google tools, meanwhile, claim the image is genuine.

A 19 year old from the Camrose area recently became a symbol for the short-sightedness of the Separatists.

But he's more than a meme.

He's also a warning that loyal Canadians should be paying close attention to.

And a clear reason why we need to talk to people.

Top-Paid CEOs Made More In 33 Hours Than Workers Will In 2026 A new CCPA report found Canada is increasingly a country of exorbitant wealth alongside persistent poverty.

"By 9:23 a.m. on January 2 Canada’s 100 highest-paid CEOs had already made what the average worker will make all year... In 2024, top executives made 248 times more than the average worker, up from 246 times in 2022." www.readthemaple.com/top-paid-ceo... #CDNPoli #ABPoli #ABLeg

Why is he still saying make America great again? Is it still not great under his leadership?

Slide from TODERIAN UrbanWORKS Inc @ToderianUW.bsky.social that says “If you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers. You design a multi-model city, it works better for everyone, including drivers.”

The more people that choose to walk, bike and ride public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for everyone, including drivers.

EVERYONE.

There’s no “war on cars,” just an opportunity for more successful cities.

You’re being lied to. It’s time we tell #TheTruthAboutTraffic.

Signed.

Anyone talking up the prospect of multiple new LNG projects in BC needs to read this report.

The demand growth they're counting on from coal to gas switching only happens at prices where Canadian projects will lose money.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert "There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEW

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

Opinion: What’s the future of electric vehicles when even Elon Musk wants out? The Tesla founder and CEO said last week the company would stop production of its model S and X cars

C'mon, @theglobeandmail.com. Are you kidding us with this nonsense?

Watch this.

First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law.

Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum.

Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges.

There is no evidence of these crises.

The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

Nah, that one goes to the one US state that is forcing all e-bikes to require a license and insurance in order to be street legal. Truly regrettable as the real issue are e-motorcycles rather than e-bikes.

The multi-billion problem Canada’s oilpatch doesn’t want to disclose Canada's oil and gas industry is a fiscal time bomb due to oil well cleanup liabilities that have been kept off the books.

"Alberta’s latest approach to the festering problem — the “Mature Asset Strategy” — is rife with conflicts-of-interest up to the highest level and reports that the province is offloading oil and gas cleanup to the public." www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/30/o... #ABLeg #CDNPoli #ABPoli

Lmao. Now the Conservative Party is fundraising off of this disproven lie.

Stay classy!

Just landed in my inbox:

Wow.

Watch this.

Some folks brains will just never be healed from the ravages of car brain. Probably not a good idea to give those folks power over our cities. #CarBrain

Please watch and share this. Boycotts, resistance, protests work. In the United States, and Canada too.

For example: "MAGA Energy Ltd.’s total tax arrears doubled between 2021 and 2024, from $616,541 to more than $1.2 million. The company acquired 191 new well licences in 2024 and 2025." #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

So uh, do these Conservative MPs and influencers think their supporters are stupid?

Because I'm not sure why else they would keep spreading the blatant lie that the 'legacy' or 'mainstream' media just admitted it has the prime minister's 'back.'

Oh well. I guess it's time for a fact check!
