Months ago they were talking about paving over the Edworthy Parking Lot and charging a fee. Now it looks like it will almost entirely be a construction area for the next 12 months as they work to replace the Bearspaw Feeder main.

Last night you could go outside, look off in the distance and see the Aurora Borealis.😲
Tonight you can go outside and hear, off in the distance, the sound of leaf blowers clearing snow. 🤦♂️

Up to 89 percent of ambulances for overdoses concealed in record year, as Alberta health care careens into crisis
The Alberta government says it has “the most transparent data reporting system in North America" for drug toxicity. In reality, internal data manipulation causes most emergency calls to go unreported.

The real issue is not whether one mode briefly looked better than another during a storm.
It is the impulse to turn winter maintenance into a zero-sum contest between drivers and cyclists, rather than acknowledging a shared failure to maintain all mobility infrastructure consistently. 👇

I've been rambling about this for a long time. Transport Canada abdicated responsibility for defining (and thus importing) e-bikes to the provinces and now we have this absolute wild west where it's legal to buy and import virtually everything. 1/3
1/ I saw this video about the really, really, bad New Jersey e-bike law that's on the governor's desk. The presenter does a good job of describing the problem with e-motorbikes, why they get confused with e-bikes, and makes a case for licensing…

There can be no more normal. No more “but my kids like Disney” vacations. No more “but it’s such a good conference”. No more appeasement.
