"Public transit isn’t a luxury or a niche concern. It’s the backbone of a modern economy and a livable country. Carney still has time to change course to protect and strengthen the Canada Public Transit Fund and transit systems across the country, not leave them vulnerable to cuts."

Public transit is nation-building. Our federal budget should reflect that
If the federal government truly believes in building communities that work for everyone, it needs to stop treating transit as secondary and start treating it as what it is: vital national infrastructu...

Albertans are rapidly warming up to the idea of a provincial election. The UCP is way out in the weeds beyond what people wanted and expected. If Smith wants to lead a fascist/libertarian regime, she needs to put that to a vote. #ableg
Interesting article by Breakenridge. And what is really interesting is the comments: usually Herald comments are so pro-UCP it feels like propaganda, but in this case they are significantly against the UCP stance. Maybe change is in the winds. #ableg #abpoli

Breakenridge: If recalls, petitions too much for Smith, it can be simplified to an election
If recalls, petitions and referendums are too much for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, it can all be simplified down to a general election.

Raise your hand if you knew that MLAs had the ability to pull voter records to use to smear people like this. Even we did not know this was possible.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.
Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.

We seem to only bring up the price of a public project when we have criticisms of it. Pro-road expansion folks barely know the $$$ for snow removal annually, but can tell you immediately the price of the active transportation network.

I've learned that I get anxious easily when it comes to potential/real issues regarding our home, particularly if it's water related. I spent a good chunk of my evening thinking about a dripping like sound and then learning about thermal expansion.

Picket lines for Alberta's nursing care staff strike go up tomorrow morning. Looks like nearly every major hospital across the province will be impacted. If you'd like to see if there will be a picket line in your area, AUPE's website is searchable by location:

Despite fierce political opposition, cultural boycotts of Israel and institutions complicit in the occupation of Palestine have gone mainstream.

How Canadian Artists Brought Cultural Boycotts of Israel to the Mainstream
Boycotts of Israel and institutions supportive of the occupation of Palestine were a fringe activity just a couple years ago. But artists across the country have made them impossible to ignore.

🧵 On the LRT today across from a teenage girl with her feet up across three priority seats.
A cop storms onto the train and barks at her to take her feet off the seats. Girl does so, doesn't say anything.
Cop barks at her: "I can take you off this train right now and write a bylaw infraction."

The narrative that we are being sold that our children's safety is somehow threatened by trans people participating in all aspects of public life as their authentic selves is the exact same bullshit that was peddled about queer folks 30 years ago. It was a lie then and it's a lie now.
