As predicted

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Vehicles are getting bigger every year. Obscene rolling fatsos are ruining our city streets, killing children & the elderly while hogging space we need for walking, cycling and everyday life.

We need two things:

1) a weight tax on all vehicles, including electric vehicles (terrible offenders), to encourage the production and use of lighter vehicles that are less damaging to the environment, roads and pedestrians.

2) use proceeds from this tax to incentivize what we want: electric bikes are city savers. You can travel good distances on them, in almost any weather (heat in the summer is a current problem for many).

Imagine if we normalized electric bikes in cities?

Ok, everyone knows that the "first regional govt" Smith is talking about was @rachelnotley's NDP, with the 2015 Climate Leadership Plan, right?

The UCP's vicious slagging of Notley's climate and energy policies while taking credit for them is some rank irony.

The solution to poverty is money.

The solution to homelessness is housing.

It’s really that simple.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

Resign.

This is what Red Deer Catholic School Board trustee (and frequent Take Back Alberta reposter) Monique LaGrange posted to her social media. Horrifying. She should resign immediately. Failing that she should be suspended and sanctioned by the board.

This is stunning. Saskatchewan now has lowest life expectancy in Canada. From 2019 to 2021 SK had largest drop in life expectancy of any 🇨🇦 province: 2 years. (2021 was the summer when @PremierScottMoe announced the end of the pandemic, followed by overwhelming delta wave.)…

It's criminal mischief to private property. If you do something that interferes with the use of the property, it's a crime. I'm sure Chief McFee will jump right on this and charge the officer.

YOU ARE LITERALLY GIVING 100 MILLION DOLLARS OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO OIL COMPANIES THAT ARE MAKING RECORD PROFITS TO CLEAN UP THEIR MESS

Let’s talk about sexual dimorphism in humans.

This is something that comes up a lot in Jordan Peterson & incel circles. And it sets you up for terrible answers, because it fundamentally misunderstands the question.

A better question: why are human males and females so SIMILAR.

[Vinol Fernando @FernandoVinol]

@Garrettroph @ErinEARoss @am_anatiala Yup, this is also why libertarians are looked upon as adolescents who never grew up.

BREAKING

Drug poisoning deaths INCREASED in Alberta by 46%: April 2022 (123) to April 2023 (179)

Tragic, senseless and predicted

A repudiation of @PierrePoilievre and @ABDanielleSmith - the "Alberta model" of treatment without harm reduction

i finally did it! i eliminated all mosquitos. haven't seen one in ages

the technique:

- fill buckets with water, dirt, grass
- place buckets in shade, spread 50ft apart
- put a "mosquito dunk" ($0.50 each) in each
- wait 6 weeks

that's it!

it works because...

This is vexatious and a complete abuse of the legal system and should be stopped by the courts.

Please support @PrideCorner and end this harassment. #abpoli #yeg

Canada just surpassed 5 million hectares burned this season. That's more than the entire 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2022 seasons combined.

And here we have it -- the global 2 meter temperature anomalies, through today, with 2023 in red.

What's happening right now with global temperatures leaves me speechless (but not numberless).

4.81 sigma. 1-in-1,300,000.

You go.
