All aboard! Excitement was in the air as passengers step onto the Valley Line Southeast LRT for the first ride. It's a major milestone in our #yeg’s transportation history. Let's go!

[Fiona Ko @feeyohnah]

No parking minimums AND a new rulebook for development?? So proud of #yeg for doing away with exclusionary zoning and eventually building up, not out.

[City of Edmonton @CityofEdmonton]

News Release - Edmonton has a new rulebook for development for the first time in 60 years

Cars 🚗🚙🚖 are having a hard time learning how it is to share the streets with others 🚲 🚶‍♀️ 🚌 🚃.

Masking for Omicron:

1. Cloth Mask - good effort, but not enough

2. Medical Grade mask with a good seal - Better

3. N95-applied right-Best

4. Mask with nose sticking out - like wearing underwear with the noodle hanging out - Disrespectful

[Mack, yes, That Mack @that_mc]

But really I just want you to support public transport by riding the bus more and driving a personal car less. Support policies that fund public transport, and support policies that prioritize people over parking spots.

I find wearing a mask A LOT easier than wearing a bra.

Alberta, Saskatchewan removing public health restrictions 'a bad mistake' right now, experts say https://t.co/luyqbxHi2X

The goose part hits home.

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

Speaking of segues, communicating during a pandemic is hard.

Regardless of how many times we've asked COVID to slow down & give us time to react, it quite rudely refuses to listen.

Btw, if COVID was Canadian, it would be a goose.

We know the ever-evolving flow of info is (4/6)

City Council just unanimously passed Mayor @doniveson's motion to cover up the Grandin LRT mural and also to remove the Grandin name from the LRT station. #yeg

COLOURFUL 👏 JERSEY👏 BLOCKS👏 what an upgrade from bollards/pylons 😍

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Breaking car dependency doesn’t mean banning cars or forcing people to get around in different ways. It DOES mean reprioritizing space & budgets to provide real, inviting choices that makes mobility BETTER for everyone. HT @urbanthoughts11 for the graphic. https://t.co/jtKMd9wFn2

[Fiona Ko @feeyohnah]

100000% this.

[Dustin Cook @dustin_cook3]

Shared streets and active transportation lanes will be back on #yeg roads this summer starting tomorrow, a little bit earlier than the initial May timeline. We'll learn more tomorrow from @CityofEdmonton on this year's program and what streets will be included. #yegcc

@pancholi_rakhi AGREED. Everyone also needs to understand that there are "apology languages" like there are love languages. So powerful once people understand how apologies are received

[Fiona Ko @feeyohnah]

HOW. I can't believe this has to be a written article.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Tasers look and feel different from pistols, and most police forces have protocols to prevent a mix-up.

So how could the officer who shot Daunte Wright in Minnesota on Sunday grab her gun instead of her Taser, as the police chief said? https://t.co/vBz8uVo7tA

Morons at #gracelifechurch demand their "rights" while trespassing on #firstnations land, vandalizing cars and leaving the place a mess.

The HYPOCRISY.

[. @cool_buttons]

@cspotweet Huh, who woulda thought a pack of white "Christians" would trample on the land, homes, and rights of First Nations people? Unprecedented
