Calgary mayoral candidates are bickering about which arena deal was best—and who got fleeced. And an outgoing city councillor now says progressive councillors voted yes to the deal in 2023 "at great political cost." Here's how the deal got done. (Listen and/or read!) #yyccc

Stories from the Doors: Dwight and Chelsie wanted to know how I would make life better for their kids. Needless to say, I have a few ideas:
-Slow down traffic
-Improve walkability of the city
-Invest in protected bike lanes
-Prioritize recreation facilities and programming.

Poisoning America: Senate advances bill overturning public health protections for 7 air pollutants that science shows are extremely toxic to human health, incl. mercury, dioxins & PCBs. House passage of the bill is expected, would mark 1st time ever Congress has weakened Clean Air Act protections.
Senate overturns EPA rule on seven highly toxic air pollutants
If also passed by the House as expected, the action will be the first time Congress has weakened protections under the Clean Air Act.

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting.
But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy.
How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?

#yycbike is a 10/10 today. Everyone looking miserable in their cars isn’t making this December feel very festive though. Maybe ask Santa for a bike this year; I guarantee it will bring more satisfaction than your salt crusted SUV.

#yycbike 14th Street pathway is in excellent condition this evening. I even passed a snow clearing machine making it extra minty for those that would still rather ride than play bumper cars.
