Ok so as I understand it, we’ve clearly under invested in water infrastructure in the City (among others) for decades and is no to a rate increase, no to property taxes, no to provincial taxes and a provincial transfer….so continuation of crumbling infrastructure. Got it.

TAN SUIT ALERT 😂

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

Dang, someone’s getting political… well done, @sunshinevillage.bsky.social

All pretty Ontario/Lower Mainland wintery out there (86% humidity ugh), but the MUPs are fine, just mind those bridge decks, got a little spin coming up to the pedestrian bridge going into Prince’s Island #yycbike

Sigh... we knew it was coming, but man, when will this city actually grow up? www.sprawlcalgary.com/city-council...

Yeah, twas a bit frosty at 8, more slush than snow… thankfully wasn’t too windy #yycbike

Oh man, FNs really came out and delivered throughout this whole pathetic referendum.

SAVE THE DATE: How often does Halloween fall on a Saturday! Join is for a spooky edition of Kidical Mass on Halloween. Come show off your halloween costume and maybe collect some treats before the main event. Route info coming soon. #yycbike #kidicalmass

Seriously, why I absolutely hate driving. Make good, safe, fuel efficient cars? There's no money in that... www.wired.com/story/gm-wan...

Another (special edition) Ramsay Bike Bus down, trying to squeeze as many as possible before the ❄️… #yycbike

Substitute “young anglophones” with “new immigrants” and you see what awaits Alberta in the coming years youtu.be/AmL9OrcvLO0

Canada can end homelessness. Even cities in the U.S. are showing it can be done. Treating housing as the first intervention in health care makes moral and economic sense, by Dr. Andrew Boozary www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com #HousingFirst

Alberta: the land of sore winners

Yes, Canada needs to listen to the guy who gave up his seat so Poilievre could have it and completely ignore all of his constituents. This is a guy who's truly fighting for Albertans.

Housing affordability is still a huge problem in Canada. We're never going to address it until we acknowledge our own role in creating and sustaining it -- and start building more in the places where people already live. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

I look forward to seeing all those current Albertans taking those jobs at the Cargill meat packing plant and those agricultural jobs in the upcoming season. Also also look forward then to them not complaining about meat, fruit, vegetable prices. /s

The areas with the least amount of new Canadians unsurprisingly took the UCP’s race bait xenophobic questions. Shame on Edmonton and Calgary for being even close on these. results.elections.ab.ca/8400

Ironically, it’s the immigrants who will leave, and the Seppies who will stay. Sigh.

Most of the coverage tonight has been a relitigation of Alberta’s grievances. Talking to separatists whining about Trudeau, panelists whining about Trudeau…and nobody ever really trying to introduce facts to their feelings. Pathetic.

This is what I tell people from outside of Alberta: you notice how these people have failed after all this time to produce a single presentable standard-bearer? It’s because they have nobody presentable—this is not a broad-based movement. It is a congregation of our most egregious kooks.

You don't have to do this, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. It's a choice. They want to defund you. They think you're a propaganda arm of an evil government. You will never win them over by showing them grace when they show absolutely none towards you.

Last week, I finally had enough with the CBC refusing to fact check Smith’s lie that this referendum is the result of the Citizen Initiative Act. The response was to claim oh but it’s the “spirit of the law!”and my follow up.

To give you an idea of how much this exercise in direct democracy that no one asked for is going to cost taxpayers… EA is already setting up to count a ton of ballots at the BMO Centre in Calgary

Like clockwork

This is more of a hate watch, but holy hell, amazed how people still choose to live out in the sticks with the insane cost of driving in general, and particularly these days (I had YouTube on and it auto played after my last episode 😂) youtu.be/DtoRwgUbkq4?...

The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

A little chilly and breezy, but still, those fall colours… #yycbike

All about the timing #yycbike

Andrew Knack: "Now we must vote on a referendum about whether to stay a part of this incredible country and decide on nine other questions that I believe are actually meant to target our neighbours." [crowd boos]

Another #Bullitteer enters the Calgary cargo bike chat. #larryvsharry #bullitt #yycbike

Thomas Lukaszuk: "It needs to be underscored that according to all polling, and I hope that the results of the referendum will bear this out, about 80% of Albertans never asked for any of the nine questions that are very divisive and hurtful to many. And 80% did not ask for this referendum."

I admire Hébert's optimism that we're going to have any kind of final count on Monday 😂

Second Ramsay Bike Bus in the can, riders and volunteers joining in. The starting line on Scotsman’s Hill is probably a stretch for the little guys, but I start it here for a reason. Goooood morning. #yycbike

We get the same tax revenue from selling other wines, genius.

Excellent speech from @jeromyyyc.bsky.social, the man is a leader. Impressive. Starts at 26:20 (take 2, got my YouTube history mixed up... maybe grab the aspirin, that camera has some jitter) www.youtube.com/live/J9qurAd...

Dude... fix your own problems stateside and hire better staffers that should tell you that posting a selfie with Smith a few days before a separation referendum is not a great idea if you're trying to woo Canadians.

One of the reasons I get so worked up about all this, apart from the clear-and-present danger, is it's a symptom of something bigger that's rotten. Many smart & serious establishment people still think it's silly to talk about though.

There has never been an "open borders" policy in this country, and she knows it. She was demanding more immigrants until it became convenient to scapegoat those immigrants for the very failures of her government in housing and healthcare. She's just bald-faced lying for her own political benefit.

Mayor & councillors wont say a word.

From the DM’s… Danielle Smith is campaigning hard for Canada! No… Wait… She doesn’t even mention it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
