This was my main concern when #yyccc announced it was shifting to electric. If you make public transit crappier and shift people back to cars, how is that an emissions win?

All over the transit industry, zero-emission bus mandates, like those of California, are colliding with Buy America requirements that deny US transit agencies access to a competitive bus market. The result is a wave of lousy buses that are impacting service. 1/ nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/07/27/b...

The median newspaper columnist writing about bike infrastructure is like, "I once had to park 150 feet away from the coffee shop so I talked to 2 other drivers, a failing restaurant owner, and a person who once saw a cyclist run a stop sign about how bike lanes ruined our lives."

There is possibly no greater example that this UCP government is out of touch, than that they think kids are hunting through the public libraries looking for explicit material. #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Incidents may be higher in suburban stations, but where do you think most of the offenders boarded (for free)? Preventing enforcement on the busiest stretch where both lines could be patroled is a root cause of our transit safety issues. #yyccc livewirecalgary.com/2026/06/03/c...

Calgary's free fare zone isn't the safety problem councillors say it is, data shows

Calgary Transit’s own data tells a different story than city council has been hearing: When boardings are factored in, not a single downtown free fare zone station ranks among the city’s top 15 LRT so...

This is what I really dislike about the City's new watering schedule. After yesterday's rain, I don't need to water today, but if I don't, I have to wait until Wednesday. So I will probably override the rains sensor and water tonight. Normally I would wait and see if we get more precip. #yyccc

Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. When we said that immigrants were taking your jobs, it's because we were lying that there's a fixed pool of jobs. You rubes fell for the lump of labor fallacy.

Hassett: "The breakeven job number is a lot lower than it used to be because we're tightened the border. So 130,000 jobs this year is sort like 200,000 two or three years ago because we don't have this massive inflow of immigrants that are working. So these are really great jobs numbers."

This is a comical response while I am seeing people riding dirt bikes at >60kph on the pathways daily. Meanwhile if you don't have a toy bell on your pedal bike...... #yyccc #yycbike

Disappointed to hear from Bylaw Bike Patrol at this the Bike to Work event that they don’t enforce over powered e-bikes & eMotos. They’ve been advised it’s too difficult to prove and they need a measuring device to confirm over power. So #yyccc, what are we doing to equip our Bylaw? #yycbike

Surprised by the late fight against getting rid of the free fair zone. If you ride the train at all, it's obvious that being able to run fare enforcement on 7th Ave would immediately help with safety issues. #yyccc

This is surprising knowing that those who want to repeal are certainly over represented in the group of people who have time to go to City Hall and speak. #yyccc

Councillor D.J. Kelly@djkelly.ca · 4mo ago

Hey, neighbour! Council heard from 46 people throughout day one of public hearings. By my count, 19 people said they were in favour of repealing citywide rezoning, 19 wanted to keep it, six expressed a desire to modify the current bylaw, and two presenters took a neutral stance.
