It’s often suspect when the police tell you something is for your safety. If they were really concerned could they not block the intersections as the cyclists approach?

🧵 For 3 years Critical Mass has held monthly rides with 3 goals in mind: 1. Celebrate cycling + other active transport 2. Protest the lack of physical + social infra that allows for safe travel 3. Create a safe environment to cycle by empowering participants to look out for one another.

The safest thing to do when there isn’t a bike lane is to take the entire lane.

Some pictures from when I went. It’s a must do for all Canadians that travel to France or Belgium. I did a four day tour through Back Country Tours one of the best tours I have ever done small group, great hotels and a very knowledgeable tour guide.

Children aren’t stupid, they will read whatever they want to. Back when I was a kid the pulled all the graphic novels out of the school library, their reason… You guessed it we were reading them and not normal books. We just got them somewhere else. I still have a soft spot for Asterix.

Book banning is one of their favourite things to do. I’m not clear on why they think children and teenagers are so delicate.

C-22-1401 Citizen Initiative Act
Section 2
NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION
PETITION INFORMATION
TYPE OF PETITION 
Legislative or policy proposal (requires signature from 10% of electors on the post-election day list)
Constitutional referendum proposal (requires signatures from 20% of electors on the post-election day list, with the 20% threshold met in 2/3 of electoral divisions)
SUBJECT MATTER OF PETITION
Description of proposal
The applicant is motivated by:
• The fact that Alberta's separation from Canada is being actively discussed.
• Since a referendum appears to be imminent anyway, it should be objective and not directed by special interest groups.
• Separation will threaten the Canadian as well as the Alberta economy, the personal wealth of Albertan's, the Canadian citizenship rights of Alberta residents, the treaty rights of our First Nations, and have many other serious and negative consequences.
• We believe the majority of Alberta's residents are loyal Canadians opposed to any form of separation.
Therefore, we as represented by the signatory and applicant below propose a referendum on the following question:
Do you agree that Alberta must remain within Canada and any form of separation must be rejected?
This application must be accompanied by the following:
Application fee of $500 paid by cash, certified cheque and/or a bank or postal money order made payable to "Government of Alberta"
• A copy of the applicant's identification containing both name and physical address.
I, the undersigned, declare that I am an elector, that is a Canadian Citizen, at least 18 years off age or older and resident in Alberta, and I am not disqualified under the Citizen initiative Act from submitting this application.
Applicant, sign and date below.

I remember my Arctic cold weather training back in the day. It was a good training deployment but we definitely could have used more time up there a longer term deployment would have been better. The more time you spend in an environment the more knowledgeable you become.

There can be no reconciliation without truth. We know that Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people face extraordinary violence, and we must do everything in our power to address that. On Red Dress Day, Alberta's New Democrats honour that commitment and continue the work.

If Alberta leaves the CCP can forget about ever getting back into power. That being said Alberta will not separate and this needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand like Brexit did.
