Canadian guy pontificating about the best of times, and the blurst of times

@waitbutwhy Turns out it’s not a Ferrous Wheel. I’m sill haunted by the irony. 🎡

@UbakaOgbogu @YEGDiva I find your take quite interesting. While in general the media frequently tends to sensationalize content and thus cause things to leave an outsized impression (violent crime, etc), with respect to alcohol it usually seems the opposite. That is, the risk of alcohol is understated

We gotta be real about where we are at with our emissions reductions progress (hint: not in a good spot)

@DDB66 @JudithRavestein @JohnCollins_KP Oof, seems you definitely ignored my advice. Well maybe that was too ambitious, how about trying @PikettyLeMonde's documentary on Netflix entitled Capital? Your comment saying it's all 'freedom and liberty' seems rather ahistorical.

[Ryan May @3436slimfit]

@DDB66 @JudithRavestein @JohnCollins_KP I recommend reading about historical realities, like "colonialism" and "slavery" if you're genuinely curious as to the foundations of the 'western' world's wealth.

@UbakaOgbogu The difficulty with the whole "jail time" thing is that our laws are structured to enable this, so most of the activity isn't technically illegal. Probably should be though!

Unfortunately, @JustinTrudeau , it is impossible to build your way out of a housing crisis. Throwing money at developers does not result in the type/volume nor the distribution of housing we need to end homelessness. Please do more, or let someone else handle it

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Canada’s mayors have been true champions of affordable housing. Their partnership in our National Housing Strategy has been critical to its successes. And under our Liberal Housing Plan, we’re going to empower municipalities to build even more homes, faster.

Truly mind bending. Jason Kenney asking Albertans to step up while Albertans are asking him to step down

“I’m sorry. But also not sorry, but kind of sorry, and I really want to emphasize how sorry I am, but not for my apology earlier, but for sure my apology now, which I’m not sorry for, and for that, I am truly sorry…but not, because I’m sorry.”

@ZisinAB Wait, I'm confused... if Theo thinks vaccines are bioweapons, and he supports crimes against humanity, then shouldn't he support vaccines? 🤔
Publicly supporting crimes against humanity is a bold choice.

Lockers, 24/7 access, laundry? This is the right direction! Make it real, @CityofEdmonton! Step up @YourAlberta, we need you too

[Ryan May @3436slimfit]

@RachelNotley While I appreciate your sentiment and concern, you tweeted a single data point, and as such this really means nothing... we'd need to know what it's like elsewhere, the YoY changes before/after, etc. More data pls! Otherwise you're just using an anecdote to push an agenda.

@YourAlberta The Strategic Aviation Advisory Council advises... boosting funding for the aviation sector in order to get more trickle down benefits for the industry! Stay tuned for more 'expert' advice at 11.

[Ryan May @3436slimfit]

@RachelNotley I appreciate the majority of your efforts, but are you seriously enabling new opportunities in oil and gas? I don't think that's the greatest use of resources, given the impending climate cataclysm.

[Ryan May @3436slimfit]

@jkenney If by "the energy the world needs" you mean oil, I have unfortunate news! We need that to become "the energy the world needed" if we are to limit the scale of climate disaster. ASAP if possible, thanks.

[Ryan May @3436slimfit]

@neiltyson There's a relevant theme to take notice of in the responses.
Teachers: "not in my classroom!"
Students: "spot on, well said"
Note the bias.

@elonmusk May you lay the foundation of the road to entropy, Elon
