Cycling isn't unsafe, drivers are unsafe - for everyone outside of cars, and those inside of cars.

Felt great bypassing all the traffic on 98 ave via the river valley shared pathway this morning #yegbike

Urban pathways like this through residential neighborhoods shouldn't be a rarity.

Climate Change Concern Near Its High Point in U.S. The 44% of U.S. adults who currently worry "a great deal" about climate change or global warming is near its 46% high point from 2020.

US elites decided, like a school of fish, that climate concern is old, boring, "woke," square, not hip & popular any more. As usual, it was based almost entirely on internal elite dynamics. It had nothing to do with the actual public, which is more concerned than ever.

The "freedom to drive" actually means having zero choice. You are forced to buy, maintain, insure, fuel, and store a depreciating asset on repeat forever.

True mobility freedom is having safe, efficient, accessible alternatives, not surrendering your financial independence to car dependency.

I dream that one day driving murderously in school zones will be as taboo as cutting in line at the grocery store.

I'm just going to say that I wish R&M luck, but I think it's shortsighted to pull their business from the US marketplace. Our active infrastructure is improving and people are waking up to mobility change. The quality companies that solidify their presence now will eventually thrive here.

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.

Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.

So every year prices go up more than wages.

It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.

It's billionaires

i think iron man convinced Americans that tech oligarchs are actually secretly cool super heroes rather than cartoonishly evil elites who believe they’re inherently better than you.

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

IF YOU BUILD A BIKE LANE THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANOTHER BIKE LANE THEN YOU DIDN'T BUILD A BIKE LANE

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Yellowhead Trail and 66 Street Intersection Removal You are invited to learn more and give feedback on the Yellowhead Trail and 66 Street Intersection Removal.

Please take a second to ask for pedestrian access across 66st. #yegbike

So far the yellowhead renewal has been a disaster for pedestrians and cyclists without any dedicated safe crossings added.

Electoral boundary maps: majority report and the UCP-proposed gerrymandered report

The UCP LOST 34 out of 46 seats in Edmonton (0/20) and Calgary (12/26) in the last election.

No wonder Danielle thinks she has to cheat to hold onto power by gerrymandering.

Just saw a woman get hit by a car in a low speed collision while crossing a regular crosswalk just off Whyte. She had to be taken away by ambulance.

We cannot have this happen on our busiest pedestrian street. The Whyte Ave scrambles need to remain.

It’s a beautiful day! Why not extend the weekend vibes with some time outside in the sunshine?

#YEG

So April 20th is our first 20⁰C day of 2026, and our warmest day since October 10th.
It's fairly typical for these to start popping up in Mid-April (although the forecast High of 3⁰C later this week is also fairly typical).

Alberta!

Pay 👏 Attention 👏!

The source of money coming into the Alberta separatist movement #*@&^ matters!

The fact that only a couple of businesses didn't apply for patios they had in the past sure makes it seem like the fees are worth it, from a business perspective.

Cars are the only weapon you can murder people with and not get charged with manslaughter.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

It's kinda funny that the neighbourhoods that cry the loudest are often the ones least affected. Any little thing that is perceived to affect their privelage just sends NIMBYs into a rage.

They want everything, without paying for any of it.

Once I was out of the suburbs, I quickly realized that biking is faster and more reliable than ETS. That got me back to cycling full-time, and I've been car-free 8 years now.

I'm healthier, saved a lot of money, and my trips are more reliable than driving. I'm privelaged to be able to do that tho.

My story is that I've biked my whole life, but don't identify as a cyclist. It's just a great way to get around.

I got away from it for a while, and at one point, decided that I wanted to minimize my environmental impact and traded the car for transit. I quickly went car-free and moved central.

There are some great MUPs in Edmonton, but most of them are little more than wide sidewalks with all the safety issues that sidewalk riding represents. Ada Blvd is pretty good overall, since there are almost no intersections.

102 Ave in Glenora is a great example of a terrible MUP.

Yes! Cyclists (and all people outside of cars) are not 'vulnerable road users'. We are just people, it's the crimes of drivers that makes public spaces unsafe and the people in them (drivers included) vulnerable.

Bicycles Deliver the Freedom that Auto Ads Promise

Typical City of Edmonton. "Working towards" their goals by undermining them at every opportunity.

Nothing that incentivizes driving really helps with affordability.
