@andrew_leach If I was buying new now I’d go Rival AXS. Might be better bang for your buck to upgrade the bike though- Canyon GRIZL is pretty affordable (as far as these things go) and comes with AXS.

@andrew_leach My Subaru uses literally 70% less gas 😵

ok is it actually canon that Khan is Canadian???

@andrew_leach Where does alternative science come into play?

[Finbarr @finblarr]

ah, so proud of my alma mater

@newfangl3d I won’t buy a Hiplok as they have much worse support for lost keys compared to kryptonite. Very painful experience

Everyone in Edmonton today

[Finbarr @finblarr]

Classic @epcor. They regularly close bike lanes and use them for parking

[Finbarr @finblarr]

@DuaneBratt What a mess. That “elect more liberals” quote is going to continue to be an albatross around the necks of every liberal MP.

[Finbarr @finblarr]

I like this step- our laws should reflect reality, which is that cabinet makes these decisions

[Lorian Hardcastle @Lorian_H]

Gov announced forthcoming changes to the Public Health Act today that will give cabinet greater power over decisions during a public health emergency. Some thoughts... /1

Calgary’s fare payment system is so good

Using the Transit app is a great experience

Alberta has fallen

WATCH: CTV News has confirmed a rat infestation at two Calgary recycling plants. @TeriFikowski reports. #yyc https://t.co/ayfnzKlNDj

Yeah, this. My ‘23 model year heat pump is great, but it’s not cost effective to run it below -10, and it doesn’t work (well) below -20.

So it doesn’t work as the sole source of heat in Edmonton. But it’s pretty darn good for 90% of the year!

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

I've beaten up on Premier Moe for his fuel charge collection comments, but this is a real issue. It's the energy equivalent of learn-to-code and I find it really frustrating. Heat pumps are great in many scenarios, but not a stand-alone solution for many in Canada. 1/N

I never want to fuck up so badly that I’m called out by @bankofcanada

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Call the Food Professor a government bond because he was just owned by the Bank of Canada.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

An overwhelming majority of the public supports funding math education. But once the people you're paying to teach and research math start lecturing on behalf of Palestinians or Israelis, a big chunk of the public will understandably lose enthusiasm for paying their salary.

[Finbarr @finblarr]

wait, is the "7% tax increase" the increase to the total number to be collected from property taxes?

If so that's stupid, who cares about that number? The number we actually care about is the increase in individual property taxes

otherwise population growth skews it

[Finbarr @finblarr]

scathing (and rightly so) article.

Globeandmail editorial: “The Liberals’ credibility on the carbon tax has gone up in smoke” #cdnpoli https://t.co/zwzChF33U5

[Finbarr @finblarr]

@oldman_boy I have mine on. Total waste. Riding on pavement you absolutely don’t need studs right now.

[Finbarr @finblarr]

I have one! It’s great. Heading my home in Edmonton right now.

[Laureen Teskey Harper @LaureenHarper]

Before you install heat pumps en masse maybe you should talk to someone who has run one. Just saying.

[Finbarr @finblarr]

This, 100x.

[Robert (Bob) Summers @RJSCity]

Here is what @JustinTrudeau totally failed to understand with his recent attack on the carbon tax. A lot of folks, including a lot of younger people, have been out there making the case for the carbon tax in the media, with family members at Thanksgiving dinners, etc.
