Having lived in Montreal, but now I Edmonton, I miss those little things that make a more integrated bike culture.

Montreal has all the best ideas for bikes in North America!

That is crazy fast!

Stop comparing. Do what works for you.

✌🏼🌱 – Rich

Tim Cartmell and Better Edmonton are cheating.

They're intentionally breaking election signage rules, and they're happy to use their large corporate donations to make any fines go away.

They believe in a city where rules do not apply to the rich and powerful

Shawn Micallef: Bring back ‘SkyDome’? It’s time for Toronto to reject the bland, corporate naming of its buildings The Weeknd and Neil Young were on to something when they recently called out the bland, corporate naming of Toronto’s buildings.

What we name things in cities matters. Especially things that were built with a lot of public money and should be helping define the city. We sell names too often, and too cheaply, and too often to the same damn companies (yes you Rogers).

Good article by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social, give it a read.

Canada removing retaliatory tariffs on CUSMA-compliant U.S. goods | CBC News Canada will remove all tariffs on goods from the United States that are covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement by Sept. 1, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Friday.

I'm with @unifor.org.
@mark-carney.bsky.social was elected on promises of 'ElbowsUp' & 'Values'. But we are not seeing #workers being valued; we're definitely not seeing actual elbowing of President Taco
Luckily, the 🇨🇦 consumer boycott of US goods & travel stands firm.

Capitulation to Trump is the wrong action. Carney is selling out Canada.

#ElbowsUp

Justin Ling: The worst thing Mark Carney could do is make a deal with Trump Why should Canada follow the EU and others down the path to a bad deal?

Now that it's clear Trump's 'deals' are little more than shakedowns, it's time to say "no deal." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

One of my favourite bands, The New Deal, just dropped their first album in 5 years.

Don't forget the 500+ measel cases in Alberta, the Smith government has to also distract everyone from that.

‘Extremely graphic’ sexual content found in books at K-9 schools, province says Books found in some school libraries in Calgary and Edmonton had “explicit sexual content,” said the provincial government.

I don't know the other three books on the list, but Alison Bechdel's brilliant, poignant graphic novel Fun Home is a modern classic. Is it appropriate for elementary students? Well, no. But for a sensitive high school student? Absolutely. @AlisonBechdel is a legend. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

A great episode of Song Exploder covering what I consider one of the best songs from the '80s, Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Re the World."

The album this song is from, Songs From the Big Chair, was the first album I ever bought. It has stuck with me ever since.
