I have been thinking a lot about how our LRT network could have looked if we embraced our high-floor regional network instead of building a more locally oriented system
It lead me to this map, which I think would have been an incredible and fast network

Did you know that over half of Edmonton's City Councillors had improved transit service in their election platforms?

Edmonton has had a disturbingly high number of frostbite amputations the last two winters. With freezing temps on the way, both the City and the Government of Alberta must do more to prevent people from freezing in the cold. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #yegcc
Opinion: Edmonton doesn't have to be the frostbite capital of the world
Severe frostbite injuries are entirely preventable - together, let’s work towards a city where no one gets left out in the cold.

Did Cameron see Walter and Jaffer’s campaigns??
One was a middle ground between Knack and Cartmell whose votes would have gone either way
And the other was anti-establishment, which in no way Cartmell was
Our mayoral race represented the political spectrum well, it isn’t 2 opposing sides

The lack of self-reflection in this op-ed by the board chair of the Better Edmonton Party says a lot about why the party lost the mayoral election. Even with a $2 million war chest and a big head start they couldn’t convince more than 30% of voters that Tim Cartmell should be Mayor of Edmonton.
Opinion: How the centre-right lost another Edmonton election
The business community — and those who believe in pragmatic, fiscally responsible government — need to grow up politically.

Better Edmonton couldn’t even maintain unity and consistency in their own party and yet it is everyone else’s fault that they ran one of the worst campaigns imaginable

Don't break up the massing. Ornament the surface of your plain box with a decoration at the ground floor for the pedestrians, some stuff in the middle, and a fancy cornice molding at the top.
Shout out to decorated boxes. Gotta be one of my favorite architectural genders.

I could say a lot here, but basically this is so sick
the left has been burned a lot before by electing people we thought were good and turned out real stinkers but i think zohran is the genuine real deal for bringing her into the fold

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

It really is true that in 90% of cases, designing for people is EASIER than cars. Just put a 3.5m wide stretch of asphalt with no street parking. Posts and houses close to the street automatically slow down cars
Complete streets is great for high traffic areas, not local

This scene captures the quiet magic of Tokyo’s unplanned, human-scaled backstreets—where cars are welcome only as guests, weaving their way gently through pedestrians and cyclists. Streets like these remind us that vibrancy and human connection are at the heart of every truly liveable, lovable city.

Part of me is wondering why we didn't see similar results in Edmonton. After at least twelve years of progressive mayors (in my memory), Edmonton has opted to go to sixteen
Is it the province? (a lot I think)
Memories of 90s austerity?
Organizing?
When will the pendulum swing here?

Why did Projet lose?
Part of it was bikelash. There’s car-centric “ideology” (see, Leslie Roberts?) here too.
Part of it was a general desire for change after 8 years.
Frustration over housing and homelessness too (although I’m not sure any party convincingly addressed that).
A few other things.

Regardless of results, I am hearing that the main parties in Montreal are:
Project Montreal,
Team Montreal,
Action Montreal, and
Transition Montreal
I will support the first party to come up with an interesting name

The most successful (non-borough-specific) third parties were Action Montréal (on the right) and Transition Montréal (on the left).
I might be missing it but I don’t think either has won a seat. They could have influenced the vote split for races though.
