Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today:

1) stay in line; your voice matters
2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Still image from short live action film, "A Lien". Pictured is a woman looking over her shoulder in a crowd.

When I watch the Oscars I know a fraction of the films nominated, let alone the Documentaries, Internationals, and Shorts.

I decided I'd watch as many as I can before the awards—and it's been great. The Shorts were especially delightful, a shame I've overlooked them. They're hard to find, though!

Populism & Corruption The What Now?!?

today's essential read for all Albertans.
"This sets the stage for watching both the horror show happening south of the border as well as the alleged shenanigans closer to come by telling readers a bit about the connection between populism and corruption."

Hey transpo folks! Do you have a go-to diagram, image, or some other visual aid that shows the importance of having a multi-modal transportation network?

Something that emphasizes resiliency, meeting different needs, access, etc.

CC @brenttoderian.bsky.social who always has good visual aids.

Calgary misses you!

Looking forward to the 25th Anniversary screening of Way Downtown at the Globe!

Thanks to the Downtown Core Community Association and DTalks.

It just said register, so I wasn't sure if it was an actual ticket or a wait list. Thanks!

Working in downtown #yyc, I think about this movie all the time. "Four young office workers have a bet going to see who can last the longest without going outside. In the maze that is the downtown core of a large city, glass skywalks connect apartment buildings, office towers and shopping malls."

A skymessage, a blueclue?!?

Thank you @paulisci.bsky.social for providing me with the perfect first...errr (rre)tweet. What is the terminology here?

Libraries are the best thing about society. I will not be taking questions at this time.
