This encapsulates a profound shared joy. This week we spent 23 hrs in the saddle, climbing 7395m and ripping 271 km of the finest single track BC had to offer. Trials cement friendships, and trails keep us coming back for more. Canada is majestic as it is noble.

Riding the park was pure adrenaline. This is zen. Even the climbs were relaxing. 🥰

City council can put ballot questions forward during the next municipal election. I think we should give this serious thought and let all taxpayers and voters have a say on providing the oilers owners $88.5m for their business.

Edmontonians should have a referendum this municipal election: Should taxpayers provide $88.5 million to the Oilers Entertainment Group for a new Event Park?

Mist rolls into the valley, healing a chafed earth, and though I am lost in my thoughts, I can find myself in this perfect moment. The sun has marked safe passage through another year.

I’m not a man who uses faith in the churn. I do think the universe has a dark sense of humour. I liked this pope. He took on the mantle of humanity, one that had been shirked by his predecessors. He wore it with honesty & valour. His last council should not have been the devil.

This is not about bike lanes, this is about distracting Albertans from the Corruptcare scandal. Stay focused. Call a public inquiry. Reach out to me and let’s talk about what we can do together.

There are places,
That hold on to the last of winter,
Just as I clasp onto gentle solitude,
And my heart seeks solace.
For there is no coincidence in the solstice.
It is the fulcrum upon which
The seasons balance.
A fine tipping unto the herald of sound
And fury.
