Fuck potholes

Alberta Premier Redford resigns following expenses scandal Alberta Premier Alison Redford said on Wednesday she would resign as leader of the oil-rich Canadian province following an expenses scandal that sank her party's popularity.

Albertans used to have balls.

They used to stand up against wasteful spending of their tax dollars.

Now, they don't care at all when $1.3B gets wasted on a pipeline, or $80M on pain meds, or $650M on CSFs.

I love it!

I miss my quiet pathways already!!! (But I’ll allow it)

Can we get a daily reminder trend showing acceptable levels of driver vs ped/ cyclist incidents vs actual? Asking for the vulnerable public #yyccc #yycbike #yyctraffic #zerovision #visionzero

Ps - the actual is zero

Yep

This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history.

In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.

In the NES/SNES era, the music and theme here is second only to the ‘Moon Theme’ from DuckTales.

Differing opinions need not reply 😂

11th Province?

“20 minutes”

Saying the quiet part out loud

Some were on the @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social news article

Until @calgary.ca and establishments such as @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social and @livewirecalgary.bsky.social post follow-up articles and consequences, nothing will change…

Photo of two people lying in grass on the side of a road, kissing. There's a sign next to them that says "Cyclists are advised to dismount." Two bicycles are leaning against the sign.

Don't forget to dismount, folks

#ValentinesDay

I never thought about it that way…and it’s sad because the Olympics should be uniting the world in celebration- yet I feel that the $$ (like concerts and local sports events) has become a barrier to entry for those that truly want to enjoy the event vs those just wanting to say they were there

The #Olympics are supposed to be the pinnacle of Sports in our world…yet the stands and nowhere near full for many events.

Something is broken…

I’m trying to limit my consumption of bad far-right conservative takes on the horrific shooting in BC but I’ll just say this: if you’re using this awful event to justify your hate of Trans people instead of practicing empathy for everyone affected by the crimes committed then you are truly evil.

I haven’t always liked how Star Trek has developed over the years (<cough> Discovery <cough>), but it has always paid homage to its past very well…and dammit to the DS9 laced episode of Starfleet Academy for making it likely impossible for any future homage to hit as hard. #StarTrek

Damn that theme playing in episode 5 post credits…

Olympic village be LIT tonight…did they order enough XL condoms?

What is your Klingon name? Fred-dy-Las?

Bollards save lives AND bring immense joy and happiness to the world.

#yycbike

I blame tequila

I am almost 48, and I am watching Saturday morning cartoons…this AM it’s catching up on ‘Phineas and Ferb’ on Disney+ - still one of the best written show…ever.

Episode 3 was fun…if predictable…Holly Hunter definitely the highlight of the show.

It feels hopeful…maybe it’s what we need

*to….

Cats are OK…I’ll take the callback tonight ST IV

I might also give it a chance as there are analogues with life where my 17yo is near graduation and progressing into the future

Plus Tig Notaro is great
