"Vancouver drivers are feeling anxious when they have to hit the road, even if their drive times are short." Well no doubt! Driving is inherently stressful. We have enough anxiety in our lives, let's provide some better alternatives to this one. 🚲 🚌🚅🛴 dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

So they're having another normal one over on Alberta Facebook 🙄 #abpoli #Moratorium #Separatists

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

The answer to the #Wildfire crisis is to stop burning #FossilFuels HINT to BANKER PRIME MINISTERS: THAT MEANS NO MORE BIG, DUMB, BAD DEAL, WORLD-BURNING PIPELINES #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #ClimateChange

A game-changer, not just for civic life in London, but for the idea of street transformations for people all over the world.

“Having high-speed rail is now seen as a requirement of 21st-century nationhood. With cars being problematic in so many ways, high-speed trains seem to have been blessed with good great fortune: they are beautiful, fast, elegant, modern and environmentally friendlier." @christianwolmar.bsky.social

I don't understand why more roofs aren't white, let alone covered in radiative-cooling paint.

Oil and gas assets are not state owned in Canada. There is no benefit to me from the sale. Carney frames the conversation as Canadian oil when it is privately owned.

It must be nice to be comfortable believing "Hey, the world is bad and we gotta put Canada's economy* first" or "Well, if we don't sell fossil fuels to everyone, someone else will". A liveable planet and human rights seen as luxuries we can't afford. Morally very convenient. * Foreign corporations

Along with us for the kickoff was our awesome new friend, Tish Forteath of #SoilJoy to tell use a little about the value of living #Soil, #Compost and all the LIFE you can find in the earth itself if you know how to look! Tish's website: www.soiljoy.ca #yyc #yycbiodiversity

During which time, PM #MarkCarney, no shit, flies to Alberta where he "COMPLAINS ABOUT" (and I quote) "BIBLICAL WEATHER" back in Ottawa then ANNOUNCES ANOTHER BIG, DUMB, BAD DEAL, WORLD BURNING PIPELINE. Knows better. Absolutely does not give a shit. Bankers gotta bank. #cdnpoli #ClimateChange

De-amalgamation worked great for Montreal. Toronto and Ottawa should pursue it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpFp...

Betcha he wants to increase Indigenous rights, especially when it comes to consultation on energy projects. Right? www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

HUGE news out of Mississauga Ontario, one of the most important urbanizing cities in Canada — Councillor @alvintedjo.bsky.social, who I was very impressed with while advising the city before the last municipal election changed everything fast, has defeated BOTH former mayors, and is the NEW MAYOR!

A pipeline to nowhere for a resource that is in end of life. But at least it going to cost $40 billion of our money. (Not including several hundred billion in clean up that well all be paying for and not the US companies pulling this shit)

Yet another reminder for all those out there sporting “I ❤️ oil and gas” shirts and bumper stickers that it doesn’t ❤️ you back.

@volts.wtf @markhamhislop.bsky.social I wish we could have these electric cars.

Distributed energy has big grid-boosting potential. Shayle Kann of Energy Impact Partners and Nick Chaset of Octopus Energy will discuss how to use it at Canary Live Bay Area, coming up on Nov. 10 in Berkeley. Get your ticket: https://canarylivebayarea2026.eventbrite.com/

Yeah, what a despicable way to be let go—hey? In the heat of “lower for longer” Cenovus laid people off on their internal org chart BEFORE doing it IRL. People were typing their names into the org chart to the point that the company had to lay people off on the fly.

"Among his accomplishments, Getson highlights a number of foreign trips representing the province, including attending a United States presidential inauguration." Going to Trump's inauguration on our dime is an accomplishment? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Give electors a bad choice & don't be surprised when they make bad choices about voting at all In the next provincial election Albertans will again choose between pipelines from the Left vs Pipelines from the Right. Just like last time. #BCpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli

As countries meet to rescue a global nature agreement, scientists warn of a ‘dramatic weakening’ of Canada’s biodiversity protections. @sarahkcox.bsky.social reports. #CanPoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

💯 The article states if more than 50 people per site are laid off the province requires 4 weeks notice. Been planned for months I’m sure, just hoping us suckers vote away our rights and freedoms for the Broligarchy before they break up with us even more.

“An internal notice … instructs Calgary employees to work from home Tuesday, when they will be notified virtually if their positions are affected. The notice also says employees at the company’s Surmont and Montney operations have been told notifications will be delivered by phone.” —CTV News

Also with us for the kickoff were two members of the Hub's #Headwaters Protection and Restoration team. #WaterIsLife and Albertans face a water crisis. We need to reinstate the #CoalMining Moratorium, stop polluting & more! Learn more HERE: www.calgaryclimatehub.ca/chpr #yyc #ProtectOurWater

Lula re-election provides crucial “counterweight” to a conservative legislature that might otherwise open the Amazon to devt or weaken environmental protections -Christian Poirier @amazonwatch.org “Congress would have worked w/Bolsonaro to dismantle these safeguards." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/c...

The US owns more than 60% of the oil sands. ConocoPhillips announces lay offs—the moment their fall-to-the-USA plans were foisted—yet hat 🎩 in hand 🖐️ still for a 🇨🇦public-paid pipeline & CCS scam. #abpoli #cdnpoli Cc @mark-carney.bsky.social @naheednenshi.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Is this like the maybe surprising fact that Laval (the Mississauga of Quebec) has a mayor who wrote a book on car-free neighbourhoods?

Anyone who left Alberta for BC’s politics just learned that one cannot move away from our collective problems. 😩 Us Albertans better figure out how to create proportional representation in real life, without the legislation ASAFP. The powerful don’t GAF everywhere.🙏🏻 bc.locallink.ca/election-202...

we are in trouble. there's no denying it. and we're in a crazy alternative world where we're pretending everything is A-OK. It's not. Let's do more. Let's pressure our poliiticians to fight harder, for us.

"Clean air should not be a gamble for Canadian workers. The air Canadians breathe has changed. Workplace protections need to adapt to that reality."

Stop Bankrolling Fossil Fuels! I just signed.

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Our First Nations traditional territory maps are progressing. We're likely a week away from completing our alpha build. This will replace the Native-Land.ca territory maps, which went offline earlier this year (though they have other maps still online). It'll go online at knowledgekeepr.com

Cleaning up photos today and found these gems related to new pipeline talks. Not in the nation’s best interest, @mark-carney.bsky.social. Getting the USA out of Canada is though.✅ #AlbertaDecided #justice #ruleoflaw #naturallaw #liberty #peace #security #integrity #resistance #nopipelines #cdnpoli

Canadian LNG Buyers Are European, But the Cargoes May Go to Asia @seb_kennedy of @EnergyFluxNews with a deep dive into the future of Canadian LNG. Canadian LNG prospects not nearly as bright as Ottawa, AB and BC claim. #bcpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli youtu.be/QCvqNTg7W-U

Schools, arenas and daycare centres are where community happens. But for many Indigenous communities these buildings are also aging and in need of repair. @yourcier.bsky.social is working with communities to address this problem, and their lessons are well-worth sharing. 🔗 buff.ly/PRIn7Sn
