I love this for many reasons, not the least of which is that I am that brother to my younger twins. They agreed to come to a protest when shit got real.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Didn’t get much of a NYE sunset in Edmonton today, but a few of us got up to no good fat biking trails, lots of hiking too.

Edmonton, this could be us too!

Make every 6-storey building ‘permit-able’ just about every main thoroughfare.
For small business owners, renters and in general, they should be seen as a development tool.
I think a six-storey building like this should be allowed by default virtually everywhere in every major city.

Even if they’re somewhat taller than nearby buildings.

God, I cannot stand CBC’s/Barton’s interview style.

Some of us want to hear when the Prime Minister answers questions at the Year-end Review.
That made for a long 25 minutes…

Bring back Adrienne Arsenault. Hell, Dave Cochrane… anybody that can let a response come from a subject. 🥴

No notes.
Street safety is *not* a shared responsibility.

Rather, it's a responsibility borne by those who have the greatest power to make streets safer: Car companies, policymakers, and road designers.

Stop shifting blame on those walking, biking, and driving.

Hey,

So does anyone remember 🇺🇸 Republican Senators promising to hold a vote before January to avert healthcare premiums rising…?

Me neither.

GOOD LUCK America! 🥴

Today it took me nearly an hour to bike 12 km. 🤣

It was -14C with a firm breeze and the crusty 4cm of snow & ‘undercoat-ice.’

Sure made that morning coffee worth it.

1/4 of Canada’s emissions lie within Alberta’s industrial performance.

It’s jarring to see how quickly Carney’s climate compromise was just smeared with Alberta snow monkey 💩 days after MOU ink dried.

Federal 4-D chess at work 🥴

Emissions for all—without paying for it!

Governments pick winners and losers every day.

See how hard provinces ‘work’ to peddle narratives while they set moratoriums for private investment ($50B renewables) & behind closed doors “open the floodgates”for incumbent/well-subsidized industries. 🤷🏾‍♂️

For Canada,
It’s no longer a technological challenge.
It’s no longer an economic challenge.

It’s a political challenge.
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Makes sense of everything is 5-15% more expensive… no? 🤷🏾‍♂️

After launching a 5GW solar farm a year ago, the largest in the world, China has just launched Talatan, a FIFTEEN GIGAWATT array on a plateau the size of Chicago.

Leveraging cool air for solar — us northerners in the West should have been doing that

But oil and gas has other plans for us. 😞

The climate is already changing & wildfires in Canada every summer burn areas larger than Texas but we can’t let the global ash tray we’re leaving future generations get in the way of people waiting in traffic.

Remember this in summer when elderly have to stay inside for the month of July.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

I know modern tech shells are amazing and DWR is the shit.

But my kingdom for a proper Aran sweater traditionally knitted, capable of surviving winter biking. 🚴 🚲

Edmonton:
Don’t let people tell you otherwise. Conversations are happening about winter cycling (especially e-bikes) and I see more people biking this winter than last year.

WE WILL BE A PROPER ❄️ WINTER CITY ❄️ so help me God. 🚴 😇 🚴
