WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.
Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes
Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

A year ago, U of T’s Laura Tozer was adding climate policies to her lecture slides. This year, she’s deleting them, and asking Prime Minister Mark Carney to explain the rollbacks directly to her students. @cloelogan.bsky.social reports.
This University of Toronto Professor wants Carney to answer to her students
Each year, University of Toronto professor Laura Tozer updates a slide deck that she presents to her graduate students on the state of climate policy in Canada. This year, she is deleting everything.

Mark Carney’s announcement helps Danielle Smith distract from her attacks on public health care, workers, trans kids, and education.

He should be standing up against these attacks, not working to appease Danielle Smith

When asked to denounce separatism and affirm Alberta's place in Canada, the UCP did everything in their power to avoid going on the record.

Are they proud to be Canadian or not?

As expected, the UCP are invoking time allocation in the legislature right now—only one hour of debate on Bill 2, which will force striking teachers back to work, will be allowed.
What's the hurry?

In just 6 years, the UCP has been responsible for nearly half of all time allocation motions in Alberta history.

They're promising to do it again today, this time ramming through a bill that removes Charter rights in a matter of hours.

Despite what the #ucp keeps claiming most of Alberta's population growth came from people who moved from other provinces. Yet the government who ran a campaign called "Alberta is calling" now seems completely unprepared that these new people might have kids that need to go to school.

We no longer have a functioning democracy in AB. UCP refuse to listen to Albertan’s & are using the privilege of being a majority government to ram through legislation without proper debate. Each & every 1 of the UCP MLA’s need to be held criminally responsible for every single act of harm. #abpoli

The UCP are overriding democracy and that’s not hyperbole
The legislation is supposed to embargoed until tabled, but if this is accurate…

Smith is invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.

Which is an admission that she is violating charter rights.

It is a dark day in Alberta.

The UCP is calling to limit debate time on the teachers' back to work legislation.

The NDP counters by saying that its funny they're limiting time on this when they've had years to address class size issues.

If you live in the Calgary-Bow riding, sign this recall petition. Send a message to Batshit's UCP - enough is enough.
Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides pens a letter to voters in Calgary Bow.

Says he is a firm believer in recall, but says the petition against him is attempting to subvert democracy.

He argues it's not about his conduct but rather the policies he's put forward.

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs.

Public - that's $500M / yr.

Smith / #UCP - So?

Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools.

Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that.

We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools.

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.
