I was looking forward to Ted Lasso’s return. Disappointing to hear this…
J. Kelly Nestruck@nestruck.bsky.social · 12h agoTed Lasso’s return is about getting the gang back together... and everything else is paint by numbers. This moment in professional women’s sports deserved better. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

A Provincial Election is on the horizon in Alberta! All voters must be prepared to challenge Smith and the UCP on their broken health care promises and attempts at public medical care gaslighting. We just can't accept any excuses on affordability by the treasury either!

“turning its focus to … other events in Cowboys Park” 😬
Adam MacVicar@adammacvicar.bsky.social · last wk.NEW: Cowboys is closing its doors after 30 years in business. According to a statement on social media, the organization is turning its focus to Cowboys Music Festival and other events in Cowboys Park. Cowboys Casino will also be rebranded, the statement says.
“…with traffic deaths climbing …the province didn’t build a portal for people to report dangerous intersections or reckless driving. It built one for bike lanes.” 🤨 #yycbike #yegbike
Opinion: Alberta’s bike lanes aren’t a problem to be solved – they’re how people get around
I bike most days in Calgary, often with my two children
theglobeandmail.com
I concur Cailynn: “None of this is to suggest every existing bike lane in Alberta is perfect. Individual projects should be evaluated, and some may need to be improved. But those decisions should be guided by evidence and the expertise of transportation planners and engineers, not a dropdown menu.”

Folk Fest review: Iceland's Of Monsters and Men offer dynamic set as Day 1 headliners at Prince's Island Park calgaryherald.com/entertainmen...
Calgary is proud to welcome His Highness Prince Rahim Aga Khan V and his sons, Prince Irfan and Prince Sinan. It was an honour to present them with the legendary Calgary White Hat and celebrate the service, generosity, and leadership that our Ismaili community brings to our city!
Great to see Washroom Attendant Program implemented this year at Prince’s Island Park by @calgary.ca. 👏🏾
I see Folk Fest has put up PurpleAir monitoring stations on the island for the festival. A good step in educating people on the value of up to date air quality readings. Not the "I think it looks smoky out" strategy.

Loved this comparison by @nlamontagne.bsky.social to bike lanes on CBC Radio’s Alberta at Noon today: “Why build a bridge across the river if nobody crosses it?”#yycbike
#yycbike Alberta at noon on cbc today is doing a call in show to ask what you think of the bike lanes near you?
one last World Cup piece from me! from Vozinha’s saves to the boos that rang during hydration breaks, there was rarely a dull moment — it makes for a tournament we may never forget, in good ways and bad takeaways from a busy summer in North America www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was a spectacle from start to finish, for better or worse
This summer's World Cup, the first in a 48-team format, marked the tournament's return to North America after first staging the competition here in 1994

If the province wanted to do something useful about bikes - they could legislate simple rules like this for what is and isn’t a bike for roads and bike lanes and paths #yycbike

happy World Cup final! Lionel Messi is sports’ most undeniable superstar, his victories seemingly inevitable … so it’s wild to note that he’ll be back at the same building he quit Argentina (briefly) 10 years ago some thoughts on a full circle moment of sorts www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...
