Great minds and all that!
On Feb 13th it's bike to work day and I know some Edmonton Councilors will be handing out free beverages? But it would be a perfect time to ask them if they'd subsidize micromobility for Edmonton! @bikeedmonton.bsky.social may know their contact info?

I'm not aware of any efforts, but I'm fully supportive!

Would the City be willing if we already have the private Lime bikes for rent?

I also recently watched this video which shows that to get major use it does need public (municipal) support: youtu.be/qfz6AsYycA8?...

Opponents of infill said the quiet part loud today.

They don't believe renters should be allowed to live within their neighbourhoods, only on the fringes, by major roads.

Their primary, unifying, rallying concern is "homeowner value" and getting what's their's.

Net-loss new neighbourhoods mean higher taxes, warns Edmonton councillor New Kettle Lakes neighbourhood structure plan will need tweaking just to be revenue neutral, says O-Day'min coun. Anne Stevenson.

Now if we could only do something about the new neighbourhoods that aren't getting the revenue that it costs to maintain.... edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...
It would be nice if Edmonton has a progressive tax rate with single family houses paying more tax rate than multi-family.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Remember the hypocrisy of Danielle Smith telling Albertans we can't afford net zero and the power grid would be at risk if forced to adopt EV's. A year later she's building out and pushing data centres which would consume more power than any EV's ever sold and used in Alberta. #abpoli

We absolutely do not need the enshittification of hockey intermissions sped along by fucking Biz and his talentless shithead friends

Oh wow!!! I'd love to see that. We have snow melt facilities that are like mini-mountains but not that large.
Thanks so much for sharing!

You think Law Enforcement needs to increase?!?!?!? What do you think the biggest slice of your taxes go to already? JFC.
Maybe they need to "find efficiencies" instead of playing the media like a fiddle every time someone questions where their money goes to?

Trump has certainly highlighted all of the flaws and weaknesses of the system. The entire system. Social, legal, and political.

Although it is expensive. To remove and store the snow after. At least in AB anyways. Has to be a dedicated snow storage site that meltwater has to be tested and the solids have to be tested before disposal. High levels of salts and heavy metals.
And that poor sacrificial tree 🥺

Once again #ABDanielleSmith wants to go to court - now over the CPP? How much $ has she spent going to court in her non stop Ottawa attacks?

Start helping our infrastructure needs, healthcare, education.

Stop the distractions

Good to boycott businesses hosting these events.

I Left My EV Unplugged In The Cold For Weeks. Here's How Much Range I Lost My Kia EV6 was left unplugged in a cold garage for nearly a month over the holidays. The amount of range I lost was truly surprising.

Can you park an EV in a cold garage for a month? We found out.

So would they also want to remove the traffic calming devices that aren't associated with bike lanes too? They also slow down snow clearing efforts. And then we have even more traffic fatalities? Especially combined with the removal of bike lanes. His convenience over life?

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath

Some costs aren’t costs.

The science of sex in humans is not simple. Humans exhibit a wide variety of differences in sexual development. There is no simple binary.

Life is politics.
We need an engaged & educated population to make our democracy work...and this includes discussions on global politics as well (I'd also argue that debate is also important to hear multiple sides of issues). So thank you for both talking about politics and debating!
