  1. What's with the #ETS drivers of late?? It's like some of them graduated from the Steve McQueen driving school.

  3. Today in sensible arguments presented to city council:

    We're worried that adding more people to our neighbourhood will reduce the number of students at the school and cause it to close. 🤦‍♂️

  4. What a perfect example of when densification works.

    Being able to age in place and help solve the housing crisis and the loneliness crisis at the same time. It brings us back to the days when communities really were this local.

  5. @chad

    I second those: Knack for Mayor and Paquette for Dene - Aaron has done a good job of representing us for 8 years and we need to keep his voice on council.

    YES! PLEASE pay attention to school trustees people! It is a stated strategy of #UCP affiliated and #TakeBackAlberta types to run ideological candidates in school board races where people pay less attention.

    In Ward B Linda Lindsay was VicePrincipal at my kids’ school… she was one of the good ones who did her job well, cared for the kids, and treated parents with respect. I fully trust her to be a good progressive trustee focussed where it needs to be: on kids and their well-being and education.

  6. The City of Edmonton has declared today, March 21, as Save Soil Day. I was at City Hall for the presentation of the official proclamation, and to speak to the gathered group about our recent Senate report on soil health. Tomorrow, the Save Soil group hosts a free double-bill at Campus Saint-Jean theatre: first, the documentary film Common Ground, followed by a one-woman show by Dale Hamilton called She Won’t Come in From the Fields. #yeg #yegcc #Edmonton #SenateofCanada #ualberta #SoilHealth

  7. Wow! Who benefits from hyping fear of ETS safety?
    Because on the news tonight they led with “renewed fears over LRT safety issues” … a man on the LRT *didn’t* have a gun (even though they called in a SWAT team on him)
    Meanwhile, on the rest of the news: literal on-the-road driving gun battle from moving cars on 97 St, and a murder in broad daylight downtown, but a non-event on LRT is causing fear?
    OMG!

  8. The fate of Lucy, the elephant at the Edmonton Valley Zoo, has long been a hot-button issue. Today in the Senate, I had the chance to speak to Bill S-241, known as the Jane Goodall Act, and to use the complicated story of Lucy as a cautionary tale. With a twist in its trunk. Here's my speech. youtu.be/wxF5cN6cvZ0 #Edmonton #yeg #EdmontonValleyZoo #Lucy #SenateofCanada #BillS241 #CAZA #AZA #zoos #elephants #yegcc

  9. It seems #yegcc isn’t even much of a hashtag yet on Mastodon, so I’m not sure how many people will care about this, but…the city council in #Edmonton (city of about a million people in western Canada) just opted to fund this bill, which includes ONE HUNDRED MILLION NEW DOLLARS to expand the network of protected #bikelanes!
