I’m at WEM with I’d guess 25,000 others. Imagine we had pushed for this to happen downtown.
Already seeing the parties develop municipally (people share things with me). We could be throwing away something quite special with this.
The whole "can't raise families in apartments" discourse really amazes me. Families being raised in apartments is not a new phenomenon. But a big chunk of the political class literally can't wrap their minds around it ... which tells you a lot about the political class.

Hello from Cardston, AB where teenage boys are casually discussing drinking half Apple juice and half piss. Is this a thing young people are doing now? pls advise.
So, did anybody else fight off a goose while trying to shake ten thousand stinging insects into a box on the roof of a convention center this morning? No, just me?
Smith says the province should step in on passenger rail. She asks why Calgary would extend its LRT lines to surrounding communities when those don’t fall under the city’s tax base.
What everyone younger than Gen X doesn't know is how deeply bored we were a lot of the time, even at things like this. Every Gen Xer has read at least 1000 cereal boxes and shampoo bottle labels beginning to end out of boredom. And that is literally not an exaggeration.
Frat party in the 90s, not a single phone in sight
@timquerengesser There's a reason I'm more excited about this announcement.
@timquerengesser Rumor has it that there is a hollowed out LRT Station in the bowels of WEM ready to go for just such a venture! Maybe if/when the Metro Line diverts off the Capital Line from Health Sciences & goes West along Whitemud towards WEM we can utilize it. Like a 2nd hub like Churchill!
You can say Bill 20 is good because it would allow governments to remove councillors like Sean Chu. Here's the thing, though: it won't be used to remove councillors like Sean Chu.
@timquerengesser The fact that there were ALREADY train tracks that existed when the mall was built annoys me so much that we could have had an effective transit system from the get go.
@timquerengesser Well it should of been a mandate when the mall was built that a train go there. I go to Vancouver next week and know thier system stops where you need them to be for accessing facilities
@timquerengesser We planned to have ours fixed when we had our roof replaced. They quoted us 8k, which were going to go ahead with. But when they started construction, the bricks crumbled on them. Cost to rebuild went to 12k and we had to have it removed to below roofline 😓
@timquerengesser .... wait do they mean Swingers or like... 'hip cats who are down the culture'
@engagefcx @timquerengesser It's quoted in my story from January. Henry Edgar: “You’ve got elm trees and bike lanes and bricks-and-mortar retail. Ultimately, all of that contributes to a sense of safety...We feel really confident about the success of our developments in this area.” edifyedmonton.com/urban/structur…
@timquerengesser People like to rip on bike lanes, but I've had more than one developer tell me that the reason they've built dense housing on 102 Ave/124 St. are is partly because of bike lanes. So, there is a return to that investment.
Just saw an asshole veer dangerously around a parent with two kids in a cargo bike and fuck reckless drivers and cameras and other forms of monitoring seem like a needed way to cut down the carnage in SF. And higher penalties for like..killing people
@timquerengesser Saw a RAD bike at the farmers market with two kids seats on it! I wish I had that 20 years ago!

How on earth does Alberta have high taxes?
@kim_siever No kidding. You and I are totally on the same page! There should be no minister for arts. And no funding for arts either! Not when we have debt, high taxes, and serious crises. Cut it all!
