Breaking News! The High Level Bridge will be closed for most of 2027. No details about detours for cyclists, but pedestrian access is going to be maintained when possible. buff.ly/xcnXvR3 #yegbike

Today is Critical Mass for #yegbike. Meeting at Churchill Square at 6pm (Friday, 30 Oct). I’ll be there as Maverick and Goose become urbanist long after their Top Gun days.

This estimate isn't even the likely cost - we've heard that the Province may require the removal of all bike lanes, which would cost substantially more than $170 million. If you think that's a waste of your taxes, join us for Critical Mass tomorrow at 6pm. Meet at Churchill Square. #yegbike

In addition to Toronto's recent bike removals, this ride is a chance to show solidarity with Albertans facing their own anti-bike legislation. City staff in Edmonton reported removing existing bike lanes there could cost up to $170M! #BikeTO #YEGbike #YYCbike #BikeSky www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Strong active transportation infrastructure gives Edmontonians more affordable ways to get around our city. With 2.8M cycling trips in 2025 and a 43% increase in winter riding, demand is clear. I’ll continue advocating for transportation choices that keep Edmonton affordable, safe and connected.

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

For several years, the current Alberta Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors, Devin Dreeshen, has been in the media threatening to rip out bike lanes already in place in Calgary and Edmonton. Here he is campaigning for Trump in 2016. Bike lanes are part of the right's global culture war.

Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Better late than never, I guess. But during her entire tenure on the commission there have been countless previous reasons to resign.

Coun. Anne Stevenson has announced her resignation from the Edmonton Police Commission, effective Wednesday. #yeg

The active transportation implementation guide for the next budget cycle was released. We will see a shift from rapid expansion to more targeted projects in line with road/neighbourhood renewal. As well as some upgrades to substandard routes and increased winter maintenance. #yegbike

“The opportunity to stand up to the bully has passed. Too much has been given away with too few consequences.” Exactly right. Doug Ford is weirdly obsessed with certain things in the physical City Of Toronto, his ideas are all bad, and Chow has put up no real resistance. (Bradford is a quisling.)

Olivia Chow could've run a campaign focused on standing up to Queen's Park — she didn't, and now we have to live with the potential consequences, writes senior editor John Lorinc. @johnlorinc.bsky.social #TOpoli spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

A reminder that this is the reason why Danielle Smith is desperate to gerrymander the next provincial election.

As the count continues, we are getting a clearer picture of the results from Monday's AB referendum: 1. Separation was trounced 2. No real mandate on the heavily pushed Q1-9 Big picture: the Urban-Rural divide Cgy+Edm voted No on all questions Rest of Alberta (combined) voted Yes

cbc really likes nazis.

I feel like the abstentions are a big story here. #abpoli Vote totals aren't quite final, but for questions 4-9 there were 500k-700k people who made the effort to vote, but who didn't vote on those. Did they just think it was BS, like our decades of fake senate elections? Probably.

Not that it will be material, but there's a big error in the results from Calgary Varsity. At almost every other Division question 10 got the most votes, by far. There are a few where it wasn't the top, but not very many. But at Varsity Question 1 had 23,753 more voters than question 10. Nope.

and cbc is not going to stop. right now they're sending their intrepid reporters to the worst nazibars in the province to write weepy puffpieces on the losers.

Heather e^-1/x^2@heathermoandco.bsky.social · 2w ago

It’s important to remember the outsized attention given to Alberta separatists by mainstream #cdnmedia, including the CBC. The worst people, backed by dark money & foreign influence ops, were elevated and platformed in unprecedented ways. Given legitimacy, which they will use for future fuckery.

Yes. @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social coverage last night was the icing on the cake. When I raised this over and over I was told. Falsely. This is an important “democratic” debate. The cbc platformed Keith Wilson in a way they should be utterly ashamed of. All while they let our premier spew lies.

Alberta: “This entire separatist spectacle, which has dominated our political discourse for almost a year now, has been orchestrated by a few people who can’t believe the attention they have received or the legitimacy bestowed on them by the media and others” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

The news today is disheartening, so channel that anger and email your representatives. Tell Danielle Smith to get her hands off Edmonton's affairs, and tell council to NOT comply and repeal the zoning bylaw Use our tool for a starter message 👇 www.growtogetheryeg.com/email-council #yeg #yegcc

The good doctor would approve of this bench in this place with this sentiment.

fuuuuuuuuuuck calgary.

Troy Pavlek@troypavlek.ca · 3w ago

Sources tell me Danielle Smith will force Edmonton to repeal its zoning bylaw. Smith's UCP loyalist friends in Edmonton Neighbourhoods United, whose agenda lost in the last election, asked for her help, just like she helped the separatists. Local democracy is dead.

It's definitely getting a lot colder for the long weekend AND it's looking more and more likely that we'll have at least SOME snow in the Edmonton region...with heavy snow likely in parts of western AB. Get prepared - here's your Wed WxBlast video: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/vid... #yegwx

Sunday, I dressed up and rode around on an old bike with some friends. We took some pictures, had some laughs, learned some city history. I ended up on the front page of the paper. I’ve been smiling inside for two days. This quiet humble joy is what life is about. It’s not complicated. #yegbike

This Sunday, we're holding a learn to fix a flat clinic for women and gender minorities. We're excited to teach a really useful repair skill to people who're often underrepresented in the bike world, and who might be new to our shop. Register at: www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticket... #yegbike

This is how you lost 2019. This is how you lost 2023. This is how you lose 2027. Absolute disgrace. Weak. Idealess. Backwards thinking. A joke.

We are very pleased that the southern route pipeline that we’ve been advocating for many months, over Danielle Smith’s objections, is moving forward.
