You did awesome 🙌 Great route through our neighbourhood--coffee and a park = win!

I will only drink light hoppy beers from a large German drinking vessel, which is why I support #PaleinSteinAction

I so want to believe that his assessment is correct, but I truly struggle to do so. Especially after reading this update on the Plastics Treaty

‘Total infiltration’: How plastics industry swamped vital global treaty talks
Petrostates and well-funded lobbyists at UN-hosted talks are derailing a deal to cut plastic production and protect people and the planet

Shout out for Tiktaalik too—in the transition of animals from water to land—a home-grown Canadian from around 375 million years ago. Fossil from Ellesmere Island in Nunavut Territory, some holotype specimen bones and a great reconstruction model in the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta.

I’ll wager many of us are wishing for that this morning as we chug our crushed grains—yep, still doing the porridge—and haul our skeletons into our trainers, or out on our bikes, inspired to see just how much we can endure 💗💪☄️

--wildly engaged crowds who want their neurones lit up, and go home to dream about the latest news from Göbekli Tepe, and likely a bit on mass extinction events too, of all kinds. This is sensual history, no more so than imagining the adaptations for running in the skeleton of an 8-year old...

Congrats!!!! 🙌

We did so much shopping on our old tourers--could get a full Costco shop in my rear panniers!

Unbelievably we scored front row seats--I’ll be plundering my hoard and wearing “One Becomes Many”, a Cornwall-inspired, traditional bronze and amethyst necklace. Made here in Calgary, though sadly I don’t know where the tin originated…

Absolutely. Apparently CoC is seeking engagement info (engage.calgary.ca/pathwaybikeway), so for starters I submitted an email about the lack of connectivity / City promoting motornormativity to access the shiny new Haskayne Pk (plus the related hugely unsafe diversion of TCT users onto the 1A).

You're absolutely right; but although research shows people/voters support Active Transportation, it seems like candidates think it's kryptonite to state it as a community-focused objective. So how to help them get on board?

Druh--we/Active Transportation need you back! 1996 to approx. 2011 we had the Calgary Injury Prevention Coalition (I was the coordinator) with reps from health, emergency services, AMA, and City all working together. We have lost data-led, inter-agency communication, planning, and IP commitment.

We barely have leaf buds on the lilacs here--still scared of getting snowed on 😬
