I also think it should have required a supermajority - 2/3rds or even 3/4s.

Traffic engineers don’t view it that way. Or we’d have better roads

Watch for MAGA-aligned premiers etc to start blaming the feds again in lockstep.

Ford floats use of notwithstanding clause in Toronto bike lanes case β€” Toronto Today β€˜Let’s see what happens at the Court of Appeal,’ Premier Doug Ford told reporters

#yycbike Here you go, folks - the slow slide to the Constitution becoming meaningless like the banana republic to our south continues. Now we’re going to override the Constitution for… cars.

Kids under 12 in Alberta face months-long gap in COVID vaccine availability | CBC News Shuhiba Mohammad recently took her daughter for her routine childhood immunizations at age 1, and was frustrated when she was told she'd have to book a separate appointment to get a COVID vaccine. The...

Seems to me that the result of having the province (Alberta) assume responsibility for the supply of COVID vaccines is that we have zero availability.
An ideological triumph for Smith.
But a denial of human rights and a public health challenge.

Yep - like empty bike lanes but also too many bikes in the way

It doesn’t help Dan McLean drive his empty quad cab downtown every day so we can’t have it but this would be sweet on Edmonton Tr.

South side still needs love on a short stretch between Crowchild and Lawrey Gardens, but from downtown out to Crowchild is now great

That seems at odds with Smith and Dreeshen’s views of what municipal roads are about and with them breathing down council’s backs, sadly no action will be taken. The only metric is motor vehicle throughput according to the province

His base will believe whatever his appointees say and US business interests seem to care about nothing but tax rates so…

Council won’t move against them directly but the province will and council will fold - as it did on the arena deal and Green Line. I’m cautiously optimistic even next year’s council won’t directly cancel solid projects like 26 Ave but…

7 St SW is well built with concrete too - so is Bowness Rd. But now I’m unsure we’ll get anything at all for 8 St SW and 26 Ave SW, those promised to be well built.

Don’t worry, the Mayor said they’re temporary and Minister Dreeshen will put the cycle track grid out of its misery soon anyways

Also you have 24 hours (DM please) to arrange a 2-week loan/demo of our Urban Arrow Family (3-kid setup) or Tern GSD (1 adult passenger - 2 kids setups) as they will be parked for 2 summer weeks while we're out of town. #yycbike

Kudos also to Airdrie for doing what somehow seems impossible for YYC Roads dept - continuous MUPs besides every major arterial with SNIC in winter. 2/
