I feel like the discourse around this municipal election was driven by the squeaky wheels. It feels futile to speak up against it when those speaking are so hostile and loud.

@pathsforpeople.bsky.social where can we report/advocate for better infrastructure? Almost got flattened by someone not paying attention to flashing crosswalk lights on 106 Ave in Forest Heights. I truly believe it's a matter of time before someone is killed on this road.

It cracks me up that cyclists get the entitled rap. Nothing more entitled than expecting access to taxpayer-funded storage for your personal property.

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

Losing measles elimination status is an embarrassment.

After yesterday's snow, roads are melted and clear today. A little bit of partially melted snow and ice on the Ottewell shared pathway but not too bad! Really nice weather for it today. #yegbike

My husband and I are really excited for this one. Can't wait to see it implemented! Living north of 98ave we really feel the lack of infrastructure.

This lane was part of the reason we chose to buy in the area nearly two years ago. It's not a secret and never has been.

Damn, I should have voted for him. That cod fishery would really help my family.

Still river this morning #yegbike

Website says closed until October 31?!

I'm really excited for next year's expansion - so many of the lanes they're going to build will solve this problem. 79 street is a pathetic excuse of a shared street at the moment.

If the road is over 40km/hr and there's no decent alternative, I'm on the sidewalk. I'll caveat this with I find the most immediate solution to not be on the sidewalk - even if it requires a slightly longer route - as I don't really feel like it's much safer. Too much risk for right hooking.

Of course the anti-bike lane PACE candidate in my ward was there.

We fact-checked residential school denialists and debunked their ‘mass grave hoax’ theory Contrary to what some ‘denialists’ believe, research shows that Canadian media outlets did not help circulate a ‘mass grave hoax’ regarding unmarked graves at former Indian Residential Schools.

Because people think it's super cool to post what they think is a "gotcha" about the likely Kamloops burial sites:

Eg:

Yay elevator!!

I want to just announce to the world I hated Elon Musk before it was cool.

It was shut down as of 8:05 this morning :(

I swear to God, if the city starts removing lanes BC of the province, I'm taking the lane on every single ride.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Six infants born with congenital measles in Ontario from unvaccinated mothers Ontario’s chief medical officer of health says six infants have been born with congenital measles since an outbreak began last fall, adding they were infected in the womb through mothers who were not ...

You know what’s 💯 preventable?

1 month countdown to my wedding 😮

The slant is evident 😆

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Three prominent Yale professors depart for Canadian university, citing Trump fears History department power couple Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore and philosophy professor Jason Stanley will begin teaching at the University of Toronto’s renowned Munk School in fall 2025.

"Three prominent critics of President Donald Trump are leaving Yale’s faculty — and the United States — amid attacks on higher education to take up positions at the University of Toronto in fall 2025."

If you ask my neighbourhood crime group, they would tell you it's destroying the city. I don't get the obsession with parking
