Urban densification, bike lanes, safe consumption sites, supports for the unhoused, and all those other words that keep NIMBYs up at night.

@JanisIrwin Yo @JanisIrwin - I think Brian just reminded me that I can probably afford to kick a few more bucks into the 'Oregano and Janis re-election fund'. (I know Oregano feels strongly about his name coming first.) Thanks Brian!

Drug decrim means people who use drugs will never go to jail just for using/possessing drugs.

10 years ago this month, I was a full-time paramedic student on the dean’s list, working at Domino’s Pizza, earning income and military education benefits. I was addicted to heroin.🧵

@FlairAirlines Six hour delay on my flight. Three hours waiting for a call back, one hour waiting for a chat agent. WTF? #tifu by trying out Flair Airlines. Lesson learned.

My #3dprinter is more reliable than my 2D printer. And cost nearly the same.

@elonmusk You can't use the word "democratize" or phrases like "empower the voice of the people" if you are charging money. It doesn't matter if it's 1, 8, or 30 dollars. If you believe in these ideas, you wouldn't charge money to verify that someone is a human being worthy of being heard.

@TrentTDaley Yea, pretty gutted, but I'm so, so glad that most of the masks have been rescued. I almost drove up from Calgary to rescue them. Hoping they get put to good use!

BREAKING | Smith government bans helmets from children's hockey

"Our government will not permit any headgear in Alberta's sports system. The detrimental effects of face and head protection on their mental health is well understood. Enough is enough." #ableg

@CDNEnergyCentre Every six year old know that a cotton pillowcase let's you haul WAY more candy than a plastic bag.

@Albert_Nobbs Not to mention that if there was truly no other alternative, then these masks can be RECYCLED by @vitacoreinc.

[Phil Tomlinson @ItsPhillyT]

@Albert_Nobbs As someone who donated money to buying those, I am seriously disappointed. There were so, so many ways they could have been distributed to SOMEONE. And if you weren't in a position to do it, someone else could have taken it on.

Just another #yycbike home on 12th Ave when I discovered that apparently @JustJunk gets to park in the middle of one of the busiest bike routes in the city during rush hour? Nice to know who not to hire! Great team you have there @JUSTJUNKceo. @YYCTKW @JyotiGondek @CWalcottYYC

After taking the summer off from work, I'm back to the daily downtown routine. I'd forgotten how nice it is to ride to work - especially now that there are separated #yycbike lanes most of the way. Actually disappointed on days I #WFH.

@asadyyc But no, no, they need every dime of that spiraling budget and there's no way funds could be diverted to mental health and crisis intervention teams...

Just started listening to @magpiekilljoy's podcast Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff and I'm hooked. It's HEAVY, but hopeful. - A history of amazing people who stood up to oppression and injustice regardless of consequence. It's nuanced, it's heartfelt, it's incredible.

@CalgaryPolice, how is it a good use of resources to endlessly circle over the North-west in your heli? @YYCTKW - we get to listen to the lovely sound of the police helicopter endlessly circling overhead almost daily while trying to enjoy the outdoors. How is this helping anyone?

I had some time during my 12-hour prairie drive yesterday so I did some digging in between passing wheat fields. Apparently Chantal von Rotz, who released the statement on behalf of Valbella, has some opinions as well. Or her "like" finger slipped. Whoops.

[Phil Tomlinson @ItsPhillyT]

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley @JustinTrudeau You know what I would love? My various levels of government working TOGETHER and collaborating to make life better for all Canadians rather than fighting and finger pointing. We would get WAY more done. Clearly you aren't my candidate.

@AB_MD_WarRoom Any idea what the hold up on getting vaccines in the arms of kids under 5 is? It's been two weeks since they were approved - who's dragging their feet?

[Phil Tomlinson @ItsPhillyT]

In the age of 'other is evil' #abpolitics and public discourse, @JanisIrwin is a ray of sunshine. Agree with her or don't, she clearly cares about community and gives a break from the mud-slinging and self aggrandizing making up 98% of feeds. That smile is COVID level infectious!

[Janis Irwin @JanisIrwin]

Boosted! 🚀💥

@solidarityYYC @TELUS_Spark @TELUS_Spark platforming someone like this is pretty concerning. I wonder if there is any sort of vetting being done?
