Happy Monday, which largely consists of reading emails sent on Friday that say "Go Jays!" and instantly resurface feelings of sadness.

Yet another pedestrian death on Calgary's streets. This article doesn't include the context that last month, three pedestrians were killed in 24 hours and #yyc surpassed last year’s 10-year high for fatal traffic collisions. We need to talk about this more. #yyccc

25. To put it another way: when you tell an energy future model to optimise a power portfolio for clean power adequacy, it will give you more wind and less solar than when you tell it to optimise a least-cost electricity sector development.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.
They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Nice chart from @ourworldindata.org showing the contrast between what Americans die of (heart disease and cancer) v what the US media reports on (homicide and terrorism). This naturally leads to it being trickier to build a fact based world view

Obviously I talk a lot about bike/ped safety.
But something that is really crazy is how much less safe you *in a car* since 2010.
In spite of all the additional safety technology, vehicle occupants are less safe today than they were 15 years ago.
