RE transit, middle and high school kids in #yyccc rely on Calgary transit to get to school. One of the main buses that serves my kid's school just had its schedule axed so that the bus run that gets a lot of kids to school on time in the am is no more.

Public presenter Justin Simaluk is now calling on city council to raise his taxes. (No joke—he does this every time!) Stop pretending this city is a small town, it needs big-city amenities and big-city ideas. "Raise my taxes and provide better transit." #yyccc

Cllr Atkinson asks about educating public re: pedestrian injuries/deaths. Deputy Chief O'Brien says peds + drivers both need education. People are being hit in crosswalks + jaywalking. Drivers not paying attention. "We’re trying to target everybody because it is a shared responsibility." #yyccc

It was not clear to me that they knew that a big part of the university was faculty doing teaching, recording lectures, doing media, outreach in the community, webinars, conference presentations, you know, our jobs

I recently had (it was mandatory) to do a course at the university on Deepfakes where we were, in the course, advised not to be caught on camera or have or voices recorded, do interviews, or have public social media accounts and I’ve been spinning on who at the uni put the course together because

Cruelty is the UCP playbook and Alberta is never ever prosperous enough to not be cruel enough

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 23h

Blink and you’ll miss it. The cruelty continues with the Alberta government not indexing ADAP to infalation “instead of being pegged to the "alberta escalator" (which was the lesser of inflation of 2%), benefits are now "the amount set out or determined in accordance with the regulations."”’
