It’s got to be the phones.

And the giant vehicles that make it impossible to see people in front of them.

And of course the phones.
Same in Calgary.

"We’ve seen a 225% increase in pedestrian deaths over the past decade."

Highway 2 between Edmonton and Calgary is already a death trap. 18 years ago my parents were hit by a truck that crossed the median just outside of Olds. They survived, but it changed all of our lives forever.

Policy like this will only lead to more tragedies.

GET IN THE GAME!

Calgary's recently released budget shows ZERO extra funding to tackle the growing chaos on our streets.

This is simply not acceptable and requires all of us in #yycbike to write letters, and perhaps plan to speak in #yyccc later this month.

One of @jeromyyyc.bsky.social 's platform policy briefs talks about "a safer Calgary". Of course, he isn't talking about the rising danger of vehicle violence. He's talking about more policing of homeless people. With his latest motion to repeal rezoning, he has no interest in helping those in need

Calgary police are on a rampage downtown, using drones to find people and clear them off streets. Posting photos of unhoused folks they arrest (see twitter).

It’s collective punishment for social disorder and violence they have failed to improve with prior violence.

Film the cops if you see them.

Looks like some Calgary high school students are organizing a walk-out in support of teachers.

Reddit post: tr.ee/abpost

They're using Instagram to co-ordinate it.

A fun time was had by all at this weekend's #Hallowheelin event. Here part of the group is assembled in front of #DeaneHouse, pound for pound the most haunted location in all of Calgary (we spotted no ghosts except amongst our attendees). Good times, great day, AWESOME people! #yyc

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights.

And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it.

Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it.
