Edmontonian, wifey, former Winnipegger, grandma, ebike owner, winter acoustic fat-tire bike rider & known cookie-pusher. Retired & living the dream. I’m nice, not sweet. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. ESTJ 🇨🇦 is NOT for sale.

I got a bike after I retired because a very wise man encouraged me to do so. He’d be totally chuffed to know I added a Maryanne-powered fat-tire bike for riding in the winter. He was also a big fan of getting immunized but that’s a whole different story.

This grandma is a big fan of the protected bike lanes & MUPs that enable us to take small humans out on their bikes without fear of getting mowed down by a speeding, distracted driver which seem to have taken over our roads lately. #yegbike

The sidewalks in Edmonton were like walking on stippled ceilings. Crossing streets & alleys were the treacherous parts of my 5km round-trip journey & not a sander in site either. Don’t drive if you don’t have to. Pedestriating ftw today. 👵🏻

Danielle Smith is introducing new vehicle license plates with a “Strong & Free” dog whistle slogan for separatists. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our #ForeverCanadian license plate frame. Order it here for a great Christmas, stocking stuffer: store.forever-canadian.ca/collections/li…

A big F you to the twatwaffles who are stealing copper wire out of light posts. My 2 1/2 km walk to the gym this morning was especially harrowing. Oh and another big F you to the awful humans who buy the obviously stolen goods. Sometimes I really hate people.

Why isn’t 20, 30 & 50 twoty, threety & fivety & 40’s not spelled fourty? Things I thought about last night trying to fall back asleep after getting awoken at 2:30am.

Mark Carney: "We continue to be ready to sit down in good faith to negotiate a trade deal that are in both of our interests. We don't care about the timing of that. We could sign it this afternoon if the U.S. were there."

So different than 2012 when Jarvis was removed. Handful of people on street during removals (including @fuzzywuzzyto.bsky.social who layer in front of the remover). Far bigger & diverse cycling community now. Fucking w a different beast now.

Tom Mulcair: "I don't think that Danielle Smith should be allowed to pose herself as some sort of anti-separatist hero. She's the one who set this thing in motion, and I think that she should be answerable for it."
