Today it took me nearly an hour to bike 12 km. 🤣

It was -14C with a firm breeze and the crusty 4cm of snow & ‘undercoat-ice.’

Sure made that morning coffee worth it.

1/4 of Canada’s emissions lie within Alberta’s industrial performance.

It’s jarring to see how quickly Carney’s climate compromise was just smeared with Alberta snow monkey 💩 days after MOU ink dried.

Federal 4-D chess at work 🥴

Emissions for all—without paying for it!

Governments pick winners and losers every day.

See how hard provinces ‘work’ to peddle narratives while they set moratoriums for private investment ($50B renewables) & behind closed doors “open the floodgates”for incumbent/well-subsidized industries. 🤷🏾‍♂️

For Canada,
It’s no longer a technological challenge.
It’s no longer an economic challenge.

It’s a political challenge.
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Makes sense of everything is 5-15% more expensive… no? 🤷🏾‍♂️

After launching a 5GW solar farm a year ago, the largest in the world, China has just launched Talatan, a FIFTEEN GIGAWATT array on a plateau the size of Chicago.

Leveraging cool air for solar — us northerners in the West should have been doing that

But oil and gas has other plans for us. 😞

The climate is already changing & wildfires in Canada every summer burn areas larger than Texas but we can’t let the global ash tray we’re leaving future generations get in the way of people waiting in traffic.

Remember this in summer when elderly have to stay inside for the month of July.
A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

I know modern tech shells are amazing and DWR is the shit.

But my kingdom for a proper Aran sweater traditionally knitted, capable of surviving winter biking. 🚴 🚲

Edmonton:
Don’t let people tell you otherwise. Conversations are happening about winter cycling (especially e-bikes) and I see more people biking this winter than last year.

WE WILL BE A PROPER ❄️ WINTER CITY ❄️ so help me God. 🚴 😇 🚴
I had a long chat with a person about ECargobikes at the grocery store this morning! They were very interested in riding through winter. Sent him to @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social #yycbike #themorethemerrier

All I need now are panniers good for -30C. 😌

Any recommendations?

If you want a hint as to why children hate adults so much more these day, maybe it’s because they’re beginning to understand that society might not last until they grow old.
Koalas were uplisted to 'Endangered' status in Queensland in 2022, but "Glencore wants to clear 680 hectares of land – including 600ha of koala habitat – to expand its Hail Creek mine west of Mackay."

I can’t walk 9 blocks to a bus stop with a broken ankle. Or safely drive a car.

But I can bike independently 9 miles to work.

Protected bike lanes help people be independent. E-bikes and e-trikes super charge mobility.

My "favorite" Kessler "fact check" was when he called Bernie Sanders a liar for correctly noting that "Three people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America." Kessler's argument was that it doesn't count because "people in the bottom half have essentially no wealth."
