Mayoral candidate Jeff Leiper is offering a "Transit Service Guarantee" that isn't really a guarantee. It's just a promise to tell you whether transit sucks: www.leiper2026.ca/priorities?a... Which OC Transpo does, with observable results: www.octranspo.com/en/about-us/...

LOL guy should move to Calgary, that's a standard 😜

You’ll never guess what the “simple fix” is to solve traffic.

Glad I got to see Fuego up close back in February. Uff, thoughts are with the locals. edition.cnn.com/2026/08/04/a...

Alberta works, provided you know the premier or share her conspiratorial beliefs.

Want to get your AISH issues addressed? Just have a family member who runs a far right podcast, invoke vaccines and the right hand man to the premier of Alberta will address it personally and directly. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

🧵 NEW POST: Edmonton’s $15M infill property tax dividend Matching permits to assessment data shows that small-scale infill from just 2024-26 will grow the tax base by $1.8B, and revenues by $15M. That's equivalent to a 0.7% property tax rate increase! #yegcc www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/pr...

Construction site … or on-street parking for construction workers?

Ah, sunset at 9:20… Lovin it #yycbike

Seriously, who in the airline marketing dept thought this through? For a flight that’s THREE weeks away. Good grief.

Ah, to breathe again… lovin the fall temps

It’s exactly what shoulda happened with McCall Lake when they were considering retiring it. What a miss.

oh hey i've literally been saying this for over a decade www.vox.com/future-perfe...

And not to beat up on Calgary too much, friend just came back from the GTA, where the UP Express and some GO Trains were also closed up for the weekend. Little wonder everyone defaults to driving.

CalgaryK@calgaryk.bsky.social · 3d ago

Can’t help but think of this massive queue of cars going into the Calgary Zoo, when I see the city posting things like this and closing off the light rail line for the weekend. But hey, transportation is about “choices” 🙄

Ooo… Tern GSD price drop on Marketplace #yycbike www.facebook.com/share/19WaZU...

The effort expended to add and shuffle around pylons exceeds the effort to just fix the potholes. Been eroding since the fall of last year. This is @natefor8.bsky.social #yycbike

A win for people who love their cities. I can remember this battle from even 20 years ago. Hopefully the start of something new for Toronto.

Good column from @shawnmicallef.bsky.social and there’s a lesson in the No Jets TO victory. It’s — stay mad, Toronto.

Shawn Micallef: The Billy Bishop expansion pause was a real win for the people. But don’t put away those No Jets signs just yet

The federal government’s decision to pause the Billy Bishop expansion means that people who often win lost for once — are taking it badly.

I find myself always getting proper chat time with the 12 yo on the way down to Deerfoot Meadows. This time she wowed me with tales of overnight camp at Cadicasu tho past week #yycbike

If anybody is looking for some camping fun next weekend, I upgraded from Takakkaw to Two Jack Lakeside, so Tak is available for August 7-9… DM if you’re interested, just asking face value.

Something I'll never understand - if I want to make substantial enough changes to my house, it has to go through a neighbourhood consultation process, but someone on my block can buy a vehicle that significantly increases the chances one of my kids gets run over.

Cargary. Day 2 this rig has been parked on the MUP in front of one of the largest physio clinics in the city. Nice touch with the caution tape. #yycbike
