It is insane and the way it happened was also very undemocratic.

I hope Calgary votes to turf all of the current council members though I know that won't happen.

If anyone's wondering who's to blame for the snow it is definitely @jackieseidel.bsky.social. She put her studs on yesterday!! @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social facilitated so we can safely blame them as well 😁 #yycbike

Hey Calgary.
With a week to go before the vote y'all really should give this a listen, if only to make your blood boil.
No, really. You should listen to this before voting.

Calgary mayoral candidates are bickering about which arena deal was best—and who got fleeced. And an outgoing city councillor now says progressive councillors voted yes to the deal in 2023 "at great political cost." Here's how the deal got done. (Listen and/or read!) #yyccc

The truth about Calgary’s billion-dollar arena deal | The Sprawl

Campaign accusations abound. Here’s the real story.

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet.

Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile?

My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It.

A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

I will forever be pissed about this. Calgary could have done almost anything else with the $800+ million and got a better ROI.

Imagine the ROI if they had spent that on connecting our communities together with separated #yycbike lanes, as just one example. #health #mobility4all
