A war on walking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. The #UrbanTruth is that #CarDependency is still the norm in far too many cities, and the #RoadLobby will do everything they can to keep it going. Don’t buy the lie. #WarOnWalking
Picture of a luxury car parked mostly on the sidewalk with an elderly couple with mobility aids forced to walk around the car on the street into traffic. The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Via the Urban Truth Collective.

As Canada becomes increasingly known for exporting wildfire smoke, is now the time to build oil pipelines? I speak to Jaime Poisson at CBC’s Front Burner about what Carney is prioritizing for investment with little to no public debate.

The Alberta separation referendum is a VERY dangerous kind of vote, & that’s exactly what Russian and American operatives are counting on…separatists will have a 100% turnout, while media reports that separation is unpopular make it seem like general turnout isn’t necessary. Turnout wins elections.

We don't simply repost videos. If we promote a tactic, it is because people in our collective have extensive firsthand experience with it. Handling live tear gas canisters is not safe, per se, but neither is letting them impact an unprepared crowd. In our lived experience, this is a viable tactic.

These traitorous goofs offered up our FRESH WATER????? Full exposé on these idiot Alberta separatists here: archive.is/rhGUj
Excerpt from the Globe article reads: “A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede.
The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province's resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta's pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.”
