Wrapping up #WeekWithoutDriving in #Madrid, where my family and I are living 'til next summer. Since arriving in late August, we've only been in cars a few times (1 regrettable uber drive and for a 4-day (dreamy) road trip in France). Car-free life is so easy and joyful in Madrid! Here's why.

As Mark Carney & Danielle Smith ram through yet another new pipeline, remember that our leaders (at all levels) have failed to clean up over 300,000 wells and 450,000 kilometres of pipeline across Alberta after a century of development. No cleanup = no new pipelines!!! #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli
