1/ So it’s official. Faced with a choice between whales and oil, our Prime Minister chose oil. Faced with a choice between a safe climate and more fossil fuel expansion, he chose oil again. Today, Mark Carney announced yet another mammoth oilsands pipeline. #cdnpoli #bcpoli 🧵

Earlier this week, BC Premier Eby stood by PM Carney as they announced LNG Canada's Phase 2 expansion. Today Carney stood by AB Premier Smith to announce the designation of a new oil pipeline as a Project of National Interest. Our leaders are sentencing our children to an unliveable future. 1/

Two photos. In the first photo, a smiling David Eby and Mark Carney stand between two other individuals in front of a sign reading "LNG Canada, Opportunity for British Columbia."
In the second photo, Mark Carney stands in front of a podium that reads "Canada Strong for All" in English and French. Danielle Smith stands to his side. In the background is a collection of people dressed in work clothes.

Here in Canada we like to criticize the climate progress being undone south of the border, but we're not doing that much better. Both the BC provincial government, led by the @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social, & the federal Liberals, have gone all-in on new fossil fuel development. This is climate arson.

Really fantastic to see "reduce pedestrian fatalities" in the COPE public safety pillar of their platform, with tangible concrete actions. Great work from @copevancouver.bsky.social recognizing that road safety = public safety.

If anyone else who lives in or near this neighbourhood and is interested, I’m thinking about organizing a block party or some other fun event to push back on this narrative that there’s universal opposition to the traffic calming measures. Please let me know if you’d like to be involved!

Rhi Faux @rhifaux.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This is my neighbourhood & this reporting is lousy - as are the people leading these efforts. The traffic calming here was well-advertised, involved extensive consultation, and does not barricade anyone in their own neighbourhood. It has made the area much safer for people walking and rolling. 1/

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

@lucymaloney.bsky.social and other opposition councillors voted to protect people by reducing speeds on the streets where 9 in 10 fatalities and serious injuries occur. Starting in areas with high pedestrian traffic. This is "ideology"?

A tweet from @vote4abc saying:

Yesterday, ABC voted to keep Vancouver moving.

While the non-ABC parties on Council wanted to lower speed limits on major arterial roads to 30 km/h and 40 km/h, ABC chose to stand with commuters and residents.

Speed limits must be driven by common sense, not ideology. Let's keep Vancouver moving forward.

David Eby and Daniele Smith have more in common than they let on. They’re both doing all they can to advance fossil fuel development at the expense of the climate and people’s health. They just differ on which type of fossil fuel is best.

This is one of the worst planning decisions I’ve ever seen a Canadian city do. This was “the Playbook” to a tee, weaponizing the words “blanket zoning.” Embarrassing for Calgary Council. The Mayor then adds insult to staff & years of good faith work by claiming it “broke the public’s trust.” Awful.

4:30pm, two weeks after being hit by a driver half a block from my house, & I’m sitting here nursing my broken wrist while watching a constant stream of rat-running drivers speeding down my residential side street. Maybe someday we’ll get some traffic calming. 🥲

In the foreground, an arm in a cast with writing on it reading “traffic calming now”. Behind, a living room window looking out on what should be a quiet side street but instead is a shortcut for rat-running drivers trying to avoid traffic lights on the adjacent arterial street.
