Alberta Prosperity Project’s Facebook page issues a new public statement this morning clarifying that their social media accounts are not being operated by unauthorized individuals:

@aircanada.bsky.social When will the Ottawa Maple Lead lounge reopen? Or have you closed it permanently because it’s not Toronto?

“Cyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.” Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.

Stéphane Dion: "Is the White House happy with what we are doing with the EU? No, but we should not care. We are a sovereign country."

Obama: "Canada, that historical adversary of ours. It's your neighbour, a few minutes drive over the bridge. They are the nicest people. And somehow we've gotten them so mad because they're just constantly being abused and talked about. Talking about annexing their country, making it a 51st state."

The #USA is a #Russia asset. There. Is that meddling in the election in the USA ?

Yup. @brigittepellerin.bsky.social wrote about scramble interactions and I plan to film some up in Chicoutimi when I’m there next week… so easy, so simple and yet #Autowa ottawacitizen.com/opinion/pede...

Obama: "The big trade war he's starting now is with that well-known evil empire, Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short. Canadians, they're the nicest people."

Under Mark (and predecessor) our social infra has been under funded, under maintained. Where Mark promises more low taxes, more pools, rec centres, libraries will close. 100 are threatened. Want #OurBestOttawa? Vote for @jleiper.bsky.social ! 1/

How many of those parks/community centres are under-maintained bc of 2.5% taxes? How many are slated to close bc $419m went to Landsdowne? How many parks have functioning, accessible, public washrooms to promote equity and accessibility? How many paths are winter maintained?

#Bombardier should do in the #USA what #Cleveland-Cliffs has done in #Canada

I which are reminded why #Canada needs a sovereign data infrastructure . Front Burner with Jayme Poisson: Elon, Starlink and the betrayal of Ukraine

We’re back with a Jabapalooza clinic to give our patients their Covid-19 and flu vaccine boosters. Before you ask, yes, there is still Covid-19 in the community. Visiting a patient who just underwent cardiac surgery, there was an outbreak in hospital (see the sign below). Vaccines save lives.

You’ve had 4 years and haven’t fixed transit; housing isn’t more affordable and safety isn’t any better (and may be worse). We can’t afford another 4 years of Mark.

Why was crime stoppers using an American data storage service for sensitive data on Canadians? #cyber #cybersecurity #Canada

What the heck is happening on Ottawa's roads?!🚨 4 fatalities of vulnerable road users in 6 days. A driver rams into a bakery. 4 collisions involving serious injuries yesterday. And today, another pedestrian killed in Barrhaven. Am I the only candidate in this election talking about this? 1/

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Canadian scientists at the University of Waterloo Dr. Brian Ingalls, Dr. Sara Sadr, and Dr. Marc Aucoin have engineered “tumor-eating” bacteria that can invade and consume cancerous tumors from within. A potential breakthrough in cancer treatment research.

Quebec's pension fund is interesting. CDPQ has an explicit mandate to invest in the domestic economy, not just pursue the best returns. Their returns aren't any worse than other big Canadian pensions. Report card: canadianshieldinstitute.ca/reports/mapl...

May I suggest a safety brick?

This is and should be an election issue. I know @jleiper.bsky.social has been an advocate for pedestrian/cycling infrastructure and safety whereas incumbent (and predecessors) have been largely performative; want safer #PlacesForPeople across the city? Get out and vote

U.S. government accuses Canada of meddling in Alberta referendum

ALBERTANS, THANK YOU! Today, I am thankful for the 18,000 #ForeverCanadian volunteers that trusted and supported me for the last 18 months. I’m also thankful for everyone who voted to keep Canada united. I’d like to drive the Unity Bus into a sunset, but there may more to do. #ableg #cdnpoli

There's a whole study on it that was published recently you can start with disinformationcommission.com/investigatio...

Reminder that a plan to reinvest in a #BetterByWard was unanimously approved in 2021, sat untouched until 2026 when it was reinvigorated as an election ploy; had ½ the $ needed for the 2021 approved, 2019 plan that largely ignored public input. Want more mediocrity? Keep re-electing the same ideas.

How about fixing and reinvesting in the +20 community centres, pools, libraries slated to close bc Mark and cronies are all in for Lansdowne and 2% taxes instead of funding we actually need.

Alberta has sent a message to the world that Canada will not be broken. Canada will not be divided. It wasn't even close. But we need answers as to who in the State Department and the US Embassy in Canada were involved in the meetings to try and break up this beautiful land.

As Canada awaits the Alberta separation referendum results, let’s remember how stupid this all is. Huge public money spent on a Russian & American-fuelled separation movement for an awfully-written and badly managed unbinding referendum on whether to hold a binding referendum that would be illegal.

Awful people in Russia and the United States want to economically sabotage Canada. So they’re putting a lot of effort into tricking Albertans into voting to separate. It would economically DEVASTATE Alberta and Canada, and that’s just the start of the damage it would do. Much worse than Brexit.

Picture this on Wellington street in #OttCity; we don’t need chain link fence, bare gravel and hostile ugly places to make transit work.

“Google wouldn't have taken my call in the first term. Now they kiss my ass.” Another good reason to ditch as many Google products as you can.

Remember, I have a guide to help you do just that.

Frances Haugen’s bravery in exposing Meta’s harms to children sparked a global movement to hold Big Tech accountable. #franceshaugen

On this day in 1921, Beatrice Worsley was born. She was the first woman to work as a computer scientist in Canada. Her PhD was also the first granted to a woman in the field of computer science. She wrote the first program to run on EDSAC. 📸 U of T Archives
