@pathsforppl This isn’t just about #yegbike users. It’s woefully inadequate for all users, especially those with wheels. Walker and stroller could barely pass each other. Note the erosion on the left side of the sidewalk. What if a wheelchair wheel dropped off the side?

My 4yo decided on her own that the lyrics in the chorus of “Blue” by Eiffel 65 are “I would die if I was green” and I was both impressed and questioning my intelligence at 14 when this song was popular.

But I just looked up the lyrics… and that’s not what they are.

Excuse me what?

Born and raised in small town Alberta I can tell you it was extremely common 40 years ago for people I knew to use the terms "Turban heads, Ching Chong food, sand Indians," etc. Racism has always been here. I won't even go into terms used for First Nations.

@AaronWardDene Oh Aaron, I am so sorry. I hope you and your family, and all those who loved your son, find comfort and warmth in one another.

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.

He won’t be judged by *his* peers, he’ll be judged by the victim’s.

Start the class war.

Jeff Bezos is now in the process of convincing Donald Trump to eliminate the USPS.

Get ready to pay $15 to send a letter through Amazon.

This is a government of billionaires, by billionaires, and for billionaires.

@maxfawcett On the radio, the NDP candidate said it was a chance to test out their messaging before the election… guess they better work on it some more…

I’ve been part of the team that saved someone from tetanus. They spent months in the ICU on paralytic infusions just to control the muscle spasms, which still broke bones. They ended up wheelchair bound with a tracheostomy. I still remember them begging to die.

People underestimate the grind of walking 10k a day with bags hanging off of you for 20 or 30 years. I know a couple letter carriers my age who are broken down like ex pro athletes.

like you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....

all of the lookalike contests were worth it because they brought us to this moment

[Troy Pavlek @troypavlek]

Every single budget amendment has been tabled. Tim Cartmell has proposed not a single reduction.

Remember that when he votes against the budget later this week saying it's "too high".

He was in the room where it happened, but he missed his shot.
