For anyone wanting to understand a bit more about the discord between rural and urban or for those with a narrow view of Albertans. A good listen for all Canadians especially those who would like a true voice rather than a party one. Great interview!

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social did a really great interview with #BonnieCritchley. It would be amazing if she beat the endlessly corrupt conman, #PierrePoilievre.
The message it would send would be phenomenal. #NeverPoilievre #BattleRiverCrowfoot #Abpoli #cdnpoli

Now he's hiding in the White House issuing retractions via social media. The world is on fire. Canada has to stop enabling the arsonist from Mar-a-Lago.

🚨 Rebel News lost its court battle for official journalism status.
The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news.
The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism.
The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism. That's a win!

"We put so many resources into studying the movement of cars on a structural level, but we do not do the same for pedestrians or bicyclists.
While some cities already do some bike and pedestrian counting to inform project designs, it is mostly done at the surface level."

Car counts guide urban planning, but what about people on bikes and foot? Does their absence affect streets and public spaces?

I'm trying to think of even one Halifax street that has lost a traffic lane to bike infrastructure. Water Street, maybe? But that made auto traffic *better* in my experience. Any other?
