My fear is the this very ideologically-driven UCP caucus will not allow evidence to dissuade their fixation.
Or will you exercise your critical thinking facilities, Rajan Sawhney?

Thank you Global Edmonton for featuring W Andy Knight, Ping Lam Ip and I.

We discuss Bill 18 and how research Ping Lam and I have done shows that the federal government is not favouring “liberal” disciplines through funding.

Morning YEG Coffee Outside!

As someone who was sitting in Council Chambers when the vote to pedestrianize that part of 102 Ave, failed, I can affirm: we told them so. Anne Stevenson Ashley Salvador Michael Janz Councillor Aaron Paquette Erin Rutherford City of Edmonton

Rajan Sawhney THEY.

ARE.

FUNDING.

𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡.

I realize that the concept must be unrecognizable to you based on how you treat our public institutions.

Just try to picture what the UCP does for Private and Charter Schools, only without them being donors or former candidates.

Rajan Sawhney Hello, I am confused by this as there is no secrecy in the first place.
Granting agencies are not holding secrets. Nor are universities.
This stands to undermine Alberta institutions contributing knowledge, and bringing money, expertise, academic infrastructure to Alberta.

Dear Minister Rajan Sawhney,
As the Minister of Advanced Education, I expect you to actually know your portfolio. That information is publicly available and has been for a long time. Not everything is a nefarious conspiracy on the part of the feds.

I've been a SSHRC cmtte reviewer & chair, & an external reviewer. I confirm to Rajan Sawhney & Danielle Smith that this is an accurate acct of the peer review process for social scientific, humanities & fine arts research. Civil servants/gov't have *never* impacted outcomes.

Excellent question for #Albertans too:

#BigOilDoesntLoveYouBack

BREAKING: Enbridge made 1.73 Billion last year and now is laying off 650 employees, oh and your rates are going up....why isn't Ford or Poilievre confronting corporate greed?

So Ford sells off your assets to private corporate friends and raids your bank account to give outrageous increases to his staff but you would still vote for him? Who are you #Ontario ?

Ah, but will it be as delightful as City of Edmonton's? Will it be as integrated? As extensive?

(Time will tell. We already know Ville de Montréal wields the concept of design for delight with aplomb...)

READ: In Paris, the # of people biking DOUBLED in a single year, the 12-month period between Oct 2022 and Oct 2023.

Doubled.

In a year.

It’s possible with leadership and an appropriate sense of urgency when it comes to building safe bike infrastructure.

Dr. Young-Leslie {Adieu, Ciao, Sayonara to Xitter} Anne Stevenson Ashley Salvador I've had bylaw tell me that they cannot ticket people illegally parked on 105ave, so they just ignore it.
But it's right in the traffic bylaw: bikelanes are the same as buslanes. If we can enforce one, we can enforce the other. (If we cared)

So... She's expecting a 5-min discount from her ticket?
Anne Stevenson, here's evidence the 'multimodal' design for 102 Ave (that you & Ashley Salvador proposed to pedestrianize, but city admin resisted), is not working. #bikelanes

Saturday morning cartoons at Metro Cinema is lined up around the block! So many cute kids in PJs 💖

Dr. Andy Holt AB against UCP To be clear, the Alberta Conservative government made the conscious decision to allow this to happen, I feel so bad for my Alberta neighbors

Look at power company admin fees in Alberta!
Also note that if you find a contract with a low cost per kWh, the power companies arbitrarily hike the admin fee so you're really not saving much.
But let's stand in a ditch by Hwy 1 to protest a carbon tax that we get back anyway!

I so enjoy Dr. Leach's verbal fencing🤺
