Totally agree. Kids using bikes that are fully electric should be considered as riding motor vehicles, not bicycles, and be licensed and regulated as such. Pedestrians should not be dealing with kids riding at high speed on neighbourhood walking trails. #yyc #yyccc #abpoli
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 3w agoWe’re using the word e-bike to describe too many things. Electric assist bikes are a version of bike & have many public interest benefits. But vehicles being driven by food delivery app drivers aren’t a form of bike…they’re a form of motorcycle. They don’t belong on sidewalks or pedestrian streets.

A very late press release. Is the UCP rattled? Four 'commitments' (1) Albertans will not pay for these projects, (2) the grid comes first, (3) water use is tightly controlled (4) Albertans share in the financial upside ..." Energy prices? Zip #abpoli #cdnpoli #ableg. www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Lady with an opinion@ladymitopinion.bsky.social · 2w agoA data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

Chris C@mushafta.bsky.social · 2w agoSo you’re not sure how badly Smith and the UCPs have damaged our democracy? The META Data centre north of Edmonton was approved by Smith in less than one heartbeat. No consultation. No respect for regulations- complete avoidance of common sense due diligence. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

When has the UCP ever faithfully consulted with people impacted by its disastrous policies? The premier issues decrees and her wishes are immediately implemented. In many cases, they're eventually walked back due to a lack of competence and/or the inability to foresee consequences. #abpoli

This is an absolute disgrace. 200,000+ Albertans have signed a petition against coal mining in the eastern slopes and the corrupt, industry captured AER rubber stamps an approval without public consultation. An attack on our environment & drinking water by the fascist UCP #ableg #cdnpoli

In my personal opinion, this is not about frontline staff. It is about a government that provides too few housing options, forces vulnerable youth through bureaucratic processes, and offers a pittance for basic needs. Read this child’s complaint to the Alberta Human Rights Commission. #abpoli
At any other time in Alberta's history this would have been a government-toppling scandal #ableg #abpoli #Alberta

I love the smell of UCP desperation. Not just in the morning, but in the afternoon, evening and even when I’m sleeping too! The UCP wouldn’t be fighting so hard to bury Mentzelopoulos if there was nothing they desperately need to bury. Cover-ups. Corruption. Clowns. #ableg #abpoli
