@scarletcoral.ca "CBC News asked Dreeshen's office for a response to Farkas's concerns about its proposed legislation and about a future meeting on pedestrian safety. In an emailed statement, Dreeshen said some municipal decisions move in the opposite direction of the province's attempts to reduce traffic congestion."
The implication is that the safety, and lives, of pedestrians and cyclists matters less than the convenience of motorists.
Credit where credit's due. I don't agree with Danielle Smith on much. But if she manages to kill clock changes in #Alberta that will be a good thing. I'd prefer year-round MST, but MDT is good enough.

Our book tour has taken us to 27 cities around North America and seen us do more than 100 press interviews with many more to come.
Thanks to everyone who's bought the book and spread the word!

LiveWire CalgaryData and feelings don't always tell the same story, and it often didn't in the Calgary rezoning hearing, writes Serene Yew in the latest LWC Perspectives piece. And yes, there's data. Lots of it. #yyc #yyccc #calgary
Perspectives: When feelings outweigh facts in the Calgary rezoning debate - LiveWire Calgary
Calgary council voted to repeal the blanket rezoning bylaw. The decision is made. I’m not here to argue with it. What I want to talk about is the process that led to it, because I spent the last several weeks analyzing every word that was said, and I think the data raises some questions worth […]
@vsp Articles like this one (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/tour-downtown-calgary-disorder-hotspots-9.7144750) are relatively common these days, and generally focus on the homeless.
This book (https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/homelessness-is-a-housing-problem-how-structural-factors-explain-u.s.-patterns/9780520383784.html) argues that the single greatest predictor of homelessness in cities is the cost of housing (disclaimer: I haven't read it yet, thanks @nerd4cities @citynerd).
Blanket rezoning was a tool to help #Calgary manage housing costs. I don't think it was meant to be THE solution, as some on Council seem to claim. Its repeal is a step back.
Dr. Lucky TranToday is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.
Remember, if our solution to homelessness doesn’t start with more housing, we don’t really want to solve homelessness.
