Bridge into Inglewood in autumn splendor.

River and mountains.

Path and bike.

Summer reappeared for one day only - we took advantage of it! 😍 #yycbike @seumasb.bsky.social

As a reminder, whether it be $95 or $110 per tonne, the “policy price” for industrial emissions is largely moot right now.

Emitters can pay for compliance using emissions offsets and performance credits, which are currently trading bilaterally for under $29 per tonne.

This post brought to you by me being pleasantly surprised to discover I wrote an oped in the Globe and Mail with @molszyns.bsky.social I had completely forgotten about.

Join us on a 40-km pathway loop from downtown to the reservoir after dark.

Lights mandatory.

Meet this Friday at the south side of the George C. King (Skipping Stone) Bridge in East Village at 6:20 p.m.

Wheels roll at 6:30 p.m.

Might as well recreate a post I made here since now even the progressives in Alberta are on the pipeline for FrEeDoM bandwagon. First let me start by explaining how thick bitumen is. It's a semi-solid at normal temps, think something close to thick chunky peanut butter. It's not easy to pump this

Tired of being taken advantage of. I'm supposed to support a (presumedly) taxpayer funded pipeline from @naheednenshi.bsky.social because he's not a monster on as many other issues as #DanielleSmith. Meanwhile the wildfires get bigger & #YYC breathes more smoke every year than ever before. #abpoli

Today, Vancouver is well on its way to having a complete citywide AAA network. When asked whether or not the fight was worth it, Robertson is confident he’s on the right side of history: “The media overinflated how controversial it was. Change is always challenging, but it’s the right thing to do.”🔚

Throughout all of this pushback and opposition, Vancouver experienced an authentic bike boom, with the mode share increasing by nearly 300%. An impressive 10% of trips to work are now made by bike, one of the highest rates in North America. Women now make up nearly half of all trips made by bicycle.

This would be that same #DougFord government obsessed with ripping out both speed cameras AND #BikeLanes. It's a city with kids in it, not a racetrack or drag strip. Maybe keep this in mind, Calgary #onpoli #yyccc #yycbike #yyc globalnews.ca/news/1146373...

Sure whatever. You can make up whatever like about the literal words coming out of his mouth but I don't have a second of time more for it. Good luck out there.

Yeah fine, Richard. See you

Carney has repeatedly described a pipeline as "in the national interest"

the graph they understand best has time on one axis and them staying in power on the other..

Q: Which of Canada's leaders understand how a simple graph works?

A: All of them and NONE OF THEM CARE

Here I've re-created a post I've made a few times before explaining this.

Yeah, I'm really glad I don't live in BC - the politics would make me crazy. Horgan is a great example of how the system doesn't work.

Also for those that are saying this would help to free us from US economic constraints, they need to look at how bitumen is actually shipped down a pipeline & who we purchase the condensate from. It's Canada's largest import.

Hey thanks FW

The choice between Pipeline On The Left vs Pipeline On The Right isn't a choice at all & it's already started killing Canadians. Shame on all of you. #ClimateChange #abpoli #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #Nenshi #ClimateSky

Climate Cowardice: A Pox On Both Your Houses There’s a majority in Alberta, Canada, America & all over the world that wants more and better Climate Action but politics as usual doesn’t…

In which I call out the #PipelinePimps clear across the political spectrum in Canada. Stop wondering why people are either disengaged entirely or gravitating towards dangerous populism. Our choice isn't a choice at all

Unpacking John Horgan’s jump to Teck’s Elk Valley board | The Narwhal Former B.C. premier John Horgan is already taking a defensive posture in his new role, swatting down would-be criticism of environmentalists

Canadians keep voting for people promising climate action, we keep getting empty words and more production. It's literally destroying the future. We all know it. That's 100% corruption. Look around representative democracies, it's literally the same everywhere. thenarwhal.ca/bc-john-horg...

I'm not sure it's "corruption", but it really is the way our system works. There are always people who think that getting a slice of the big money lying around will make their lives better...

It's only "not corruption" because that's our system.

This would be that same #DougFord government so obsessed with ripping out #BikeLanes they had to make stuff up about them and ignore even their own reports about all the good cycling does for a city. Maybe keep this in mind, Calgary #onpoli #yyccc #yycbike
