In the stream, she repeated her idea that you need to use your "own money" or raise donations in order to pay for medical care. She doesn't want AHS to "make decisions about whether or not you get medical treatment". So instead, it will depend on your ability to pay for it? /6

You'll pardon people who've been worried about climate change for 25 years if we roll our eyes when we're now told not to "politicize" what's happening in Alberta right now. When exactly is a good time to discuss the predicament we're in, and how we can collectively address it?

"Why are you so passionate about bike lanes?" Used to ride 83rd Avenue before it had a bike lane. We were harassed regularly, and one time a truck bro "pretended" he was going to kill my wife by lurching his truck towards her. That all stopped with the bike lane.

Someone bought the house on the left for $400K in 2018. They replaced it with the building on the right, which has 18 homes. That building was recently sold for $255K/home. Allowing more density -- more homes on every lot -- lowers the cost of each new home.

People who are deriding #yegbike lane investment as a luxury are choosing to overlook the real injury, death, and bullying that people who choose to ride bikes face on the daily. And that's why they're wrong. $100 million for bike lanes is a fair, ethical investment.

I'm not a huge fan of high-rises, although I still support this one near my house because we are in a housing and climate crisis. The solution is mass rezoning. The more widely (and therefore gently) the density can be spread out, the fewer high-rise buildings we'll have.

Edmonton has an unpermitted surface parking lot problem. We have spent years hoping it would resolve itself. We need to be looking at all of the tools we have in our tool belt to ensure these businesses are paying their fair share. #yeg #WardM étis

Looking forward to Edmonton City Council getting painted as “defund the police“ enthusiasts by their opponents over the next three years even as they inflate police budgets to record levels. 🥳

It’s okay everyone, Premiere Smith and the oil bros say that the future is oil, hydrogen and nuclear. 😌

For the right-wing bros losing their minds over Trudeau's mild electric car mandate, let us take a moment to remember when Harper banned the incandescent bulb.

And after initially complaining about the changes, communities quickly fall in love with bike lanes. If they're done well, that is. Which remains to be seen (it's a next year problem, I'm going to enjoy today).

On a day like today, Alberta is burning absolutely enormous quantities of methane gas to keep buildings warm. To hit net zero by 2050 will require an epic build out of transmission, retrofits, and emission-free energy production.

No wonder we burn through activists at such a high clip. Oh you want to make the world mildly better? Good for you. But on this specific [insert any fucking issue]? Sorry, no can do. Cops gotta get their money, cars gotta have all the space. Go plant a tree or something.
