That's 51 deaths in a state of 7 million, compared to over 30 in our city of 1.2 million. that's over 3.5x more deaths per capita in Edmonton than Victoria
There is still so much we can do to make our streets safer just by trying to be more like Australia

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

So jealous, Mexico City is so high up on my travel list
🧵: Went to the Museo del Metro (Transit Museum) in Mexico City and it’s inside this cool interchange at Mixcoac Station.
It’s free, but to get in the station it’s 5 pesos lol (~30 cents) /1

This is a move that will be done in the name of tax efficiency, that is a lie
This is being done to push immigrants further to the fringes of our society, and will cost us so much from both our economy and our souls

Alberta's government is currently planning to restrict access to mainstream health services for newcomers. It is wrong & discriminatory a million times over. They will pass the legislation regardless, to secure the votes of their fringe supporters. #healthforall

Don’t like rising property taxes? Consider:
- driving less/using transit more (to save our infrastructure)
- welcoming development in your mature neighbourhood (to add rate payers without building new infra)
- buying less from Amazon (they don’t pay taxes to us but use infra)
- going downtown

One of the best parts about taking the Valley Line is the many construction projects I get to monitor the progress of
I watched Link95, the Winspear expansion, the Edmonton Ski Club, so many plexes, and now Strathearn Heights

Why do we insist on putting fences infront of townhouses that face a fairly quiet street?
This can’t be easier for the residents who have to walk all the way around now

I hate the whole concept of humanoid robots
It screams of wanting to own and control a being rather than wanting a job done efficiently
Let’s make robots optimized for their task, not so that you feel like you have a butler you can order around

Most of these types of sites like Meta have essentially become the air we breath, keeping these utilities that hundreds of millions of people rely on everyday in private hands makes us as a society so vulnerable to the whims of billionaries
I dumped Facebook back in 2015. It was discovered that "META" provided Russia election rich data via Cambridge Analytics. Russians used that data to target voters and get Trump elected. Fancy Bear a Russian hacker group hacked the DNC emails in 2015. FCK FACEBOOK
