Very grateful of the studded tires I got from @bikeedmonton.bsky.social. Second year of winter riding without broken bones.
Yesterday's ride to work was fun. No traffic jams just silence. #yegsnowstories.

The corruption is staggering 🤯. They've been stuffing their coffers with taxpayer dollars for years, and are pushing for long-term contracts to hang on to the grift as long as possible 🤬.

No deaths in a year

This club sold to 47 adult members and it seemed to work. After one year of operation members reported fewer overdoses, incidents with police, hospital visits, crime. There were no deaths.
Having a dedicated source of known potency and purity seemed to help stabilize people.

Nice, simple explanation, of why the “shortens the public line” argument for two-tier medicine doesn’t work.
Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.
It makes intuitive sense: create a second line and the original one gets shorter, right?
A better look at the evidence and arguments like Picard's changed my mind. 🧵

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning.
Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power."
This is a powerful analysis on the MOU.

Cabinet resignations based on principle are exceedingly rare in Canadian politics: until today, only 26 cabinet ministers (4% of total since Confederation) had resigned over disagreements with the govt. Trudeau had a few; Harper had one. This is not a decision anyone would make lightly, if ever.
One can agree or disagree with the reasons for his decision, but I hope everyone can see the value of politicians standing by their convictions in this way. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
