Bus lanes should be rebranded to municipal service lanes. Bus and Fire Trucks and Ambulances and city vehicles and we could even include city licensed drivers like cabs. That'd be a good way to decrease fares.

Stephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs.
He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal.
When I find myself in the same trench as Stephen Harper it's serious.

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority.

The “silent majority” for #ClimateAction needs to get loud.

People want action. Smart cities need to go much further, much faster.

“A big part of the benefit comes from going from doing nothing to doing something."

Bottom line: #MOVE!

"What we do collectively, as billions of human beings making the right ethical choices, that's going to move us in the right direction."

Let's think more about what we buy. What we wear, eat, and do. And let's move toward a world where animals, people, and the environment can thrive together.

A resignation and call to conscience at company owned by Maga billionaires Uline employee says she can no longer work for people who helped ‘America descend into fascism’

The corporate complicity in the spread of American fascism needs to be called out. Glad to see this truth teller who was willing to quit her job rather than support the fascists.

Tony Wakeham on national unity: "I don't think we can allow anybody to try to divide us because that's clearly what's happening a lot. People in other places of the world are trying to divide us as a country. We need to stand together as a country."

Tim Houston on Carney's Davos speech: "I was impressed by the speech and I was proud of the speech and I think some of the things that are happening and some of the things we're seeing said as a result of that are proving that the speech was necessary."

To answer separatism, embrace our pluralism;
we are a nation of nations.

Treaty agreements between the British Crown(Canada), our First Nations, the Metis and French(QC), the Inuit (Nunavut 1999), and all of the provinces/territories (1982 Charter) include many who presently live in Alberta.

Wab Kinew on national unity: "Premier Ford and I, we're going to have our back and forth about canola and EVs. We're going to have our back and forth about Crown Royal. But at the end of the day, neither one of us is ever going to doubt the other's patriotism."

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

“Democracy, the rule of law, accountable government are not naturally occurring phenomena. They are not even, historically speaking, normal. They have to be fought for, built, sustained, defended.”

US seeks to use Alberta to destabilize Canada The Trump administration and MAGA circles are closely watching the conservative, oil-rich province, particularly as a separatist movement has launched a campaign to organize an independence referendum...

"The MAGA ecosystem has seized on this political moment – the signature drive is scheduled to continue until early May – in an attempt to destabilize Canada."
