'An idea whose time has come': Motion proposes pathways from Calgary to Airdrie and Cochrane Ward 3 councillor Andrew Yule wants to establish an intermunicipal pathway network that links Calgary to its neighbouring cities and towns.

There is something deeply gratifying about leaving your local community and arriving in another by bike. This will lead to more cafΓ© and service engagement and promote bike/ebike sales and rentals. It also offers an alternative commute option in the age of ebikes.

A brick red background with the following words and a ufw eagle on the bottom.  Tell your Washington legislator to vote

"Yes" on SB 6045

"If Washington state farm workers were to win organizing rights we would be able to organize and be protected from unfair firings. We can organize and have seniority protections. A labor law in Washington would help farm workers like me who have worked in the fields for over 40 years to feed people around this country have a dignified retirement."

SB6045, a bill to allow farm worker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on in WAs Senate. This bill is critical for WA farm workers like those at Windmill mushroom who have been fighting to get a contract since 2022. Take action today: act.seiu.org/a/waorganizi...

Holly Hunter is perfect. Absolutely perfect. She’s totally nailing the role. Every tiny detail and gesture and expression. The world and stories the writers and set designers created around her are also perfect and extremely beautiful and often moving to the point of being sublime.

Imagine if wellness influencers put as much effort into pushing covid precautions and explaining the severity of issues caused by multiple infections as they did into selling the latest snake oil supplements.

I thought it was great that they persevered the house. They are just normal 1950s small bungalows. But it was still a SOLID house. I heard it got moved to a rural property.

Ugh. Sorry.

Someone on my late 1950s street bought a house to build a new one on the lot. They sold & moved the old house. It was a week of prep work & warning about when it would happen. Half the neighbourhood was out at 2am to watch that bungalow go down the street. It was cool. People were πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Well-installed heat pumps installed in the UK today achieve on average a 64% higher efficiency than those during the early trials 15 years ago.

It is testament to the brilliant installers and to the technology getting better. More in our recent paper:
