This is what drivers in Edmonton think of speed limits, empowered by an Alberta government and MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION of all people, who feel.the same way about speed limits. This playground zone is of course where MY children play. I cam't wait for a gov't that represents us, not self-interest.

They Won, Yet Still Claimed the System Was Broken: How the Alberta Prosperity Project Is Laying the Groundwork to Undermine Trust in Elections Alberta
There is an old saying in politics: if you cannot change the rules, convince people the referee is corrupt.

Let me clear this up for you: Pro-genocide as long as they're Arab is just pro-genocide. Anti-genocide for Palestinians does not turn into genocide for anybody else. Anti-genocide is anti-genocide for all. Pro-genocide always ends with, "And then they came for me..." #freepalestine #FreeLebanon
First they victim-blamed the pedestrians, allowing auto manufacturers to define laws which criminalized the very children and elderly being killed by their automobiles. Now it's easier to shift the blame to eBikes, which stand to help to reduce car dependency and reduce fatalities. archive.is/4Z0ZY
Michael Herzing@mherz67.bsky.social · yesterdayE-bikes give people affordable, clean transportation. If kids are getting hit by pickup trucks, the answer isn’t to treat e-bikes like the problem; it’s protected bike lanes, safer crossings, lower traffic speeds, and infrastructure that keeps everyone separated from multi-ton vehicles.
Bulldozers from the same companies used to destroyed Gaza are removing evidence of mass atrocities: “The systematic removal of rubble at this pace conceals the evidence of appalling crimes, especially those related to genocide such as summary executions and killing unarmed civilians” #freepalestine
Israel wipes genocide evidence in Gaza, carting off rubble and remains in 100 trucks daily
At least 10 million tonnes of rubble have been removed, crushed, or moved from their original sites within the areas under Israel’s unlawful military control

Pretty interesting that there are climate change contributed wildfires that are destroying homes in BC & the US & we've all been choking on the smoke & not a single politician of any political stripe in Alberta has said a word about it that I've seen.
Let's just say that it is no coincidence they changed the accessibility to ID just before their xenophobic referendum, while also pushing for strict photo ID requirements to vote. #abpoli #ableg #fascism

WestJet flight attendants are on strike to end unpaid work - and they will not have to stand alone. They perform up to 35 hours of unpaid work each month. Boarding, delays, safety and security duties all happen before the plane pushes back from the gate — but too much of that work still goes unpaid.

@edmontonanne.bsky.social I see that save our street parking signs are popping up in Wihkwentowin on 121 st now. #yegcc just opened a BIG can of worms with the 50 st decision. Now every YEG community is going to think they deserve $80k personal parking spots on public land. Gonna be hard to say no!
Edmonton Bike Coalition@yegbike.bsky.social · 6d agoCity council and administration either don't understand this fact, or they prefer to be willfully ignorant of it. That's why we aren't making progress on our problems. If we ignore them, or keep making the same decisions that go us to those problems, things continue to decline.
Here's more "only car drivers pay property taxes" to go along with your "only old stock Canadians pay income tax". Add some "people who are too old to drive need to be forced to drive!" outrage. FYI, traffic gridlock is caused by automobile inefficiency, not mass transit or active transportation.
These idiots trolling the Canadian Institute of Labour page are SO CLOSE to getting it. Yes, labour unions protect racialized minorities in the workforce and worker's rights against capitalist exploitation. What did you think they do? #racism #xenophobia #capitalism #labour #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

Ever wonder why CPC leader, Pierre Poilievre, just makes sense? (Rheotrical question, btw.) Because, according to Mr. Poilievre, he speaks the language of white people. He doesn't use stupid ethnic words nobody gets. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art... #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #racism #whiteNationalism
You know what else accounts for half a percentage? Transgender people. So why do you think cyclists and trans people are such huge targets of hate and division, that so many want to see them dead? Because there isn't enough of them to fight back. The most marginalized are targets for wedge politics.

The world may have moved on from Minneapolis but its immigrant community continues to struggle. We spoke to single mothers who hid from ICE for months, ran through their savings, and now can’t pay to renew their DACA applications. At least dozens are in this situation. 19thnews.org/2026/07/ice-...
Single mothers lost months of income hiding from ICE — and now can’t afford to renew immigration papers
They survived ICE's takeover in Minneapolis. But now their DACA protections are set to expire, leaving dozens scrambling to afford hundreds of dollars in fees to maintain their legal status.

Younger people too are increasingly not wanting to drive, many are scared to, but are being forced into it because of car-centric infrastructure and the lobby against active transportation options. #urbanism
Lloyd Alter@lloydalter.bsky.social · 2w agoThe demographic reality is inescapable: We are going to have millions more older drivers with diminishing capabilities, in cars that are too big and too dangerous for everyone around them, with few satisfactory alternatives to driving. It will not end well.

1/ Trump is fuelling a new McCarthyism that is both delusional and dangerous. It’s clearly intended to crack down on Americans who are resisting his anti-democratic agenda. It’s also a serious escalation of violent authoritarianism from our next door neighbour.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · 3w agoThe Trump administration is hosting a high-level global meeting on combating “political terrorism” in Washington — a move experts have described as a politically-motivated crackdown on left-wing movements. Canada is one of more than 60 countries attending. Just in from @markramzy.bsky.social:
Natural gas is not clean. Methane, CH4, is a ghg 30-40 times more potent than CO2. N2O and CO2 are products of incomplete combustion of CH4. Both are ghgs.
Don't forget, some of the water used is Edmonton's water too. It is drawn from and returned to the North Saskatchewan. This puts the fresh water of a huge population at risk if contaminants enter the water system like in Cheyenne.

any (left leaning) zionist youtubers?
sadly most of my former favorite commentary youtubers are avid palestine supporters (organizing fundraisers, events, and referring to everything as “the genocide”) or at least downplay any sort of jewish struggling but i love social commentary videos especially with a
more progressive view. im tired of going to
watch a youtuber who is a zionist and then they start spouting why transgender people are disgusting and black people whine too much, like what? i feel like there is no medium, its either extreme left or extreme right. can anyone give any good recommendations? thanks!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bdjniltbpvlhi3alemtz6p3f/bafkreiagb3jwfcg4nns726nhyrzifh5sthhcgodlpuvntppaputrlcmyuq)
