It would be nice to live in a country with the big political headline topic of bike lanes.
Canada conservatives, and in particular Alberta conservatives, aren't that different from American "conservatives", they're just kept on a slightly tighter leash. Though the Liberal government is doing what liberals do and turning the ratchet. The last election sacrificed the left (NDP) to prevent Peepee le-Fascist from taking over.
tbf the ndp was downhill since Jagmeet Signh took power, so I'm hopeful they'll bounce back with a better new leader.
Yeah fair, Jagmeet has the charisma of a dead squirrel
Sadly it's part of a larger effort by the provincial government to undo any attempts at decarbonization.
We need more bike lanes and pathways. Not less.
Also the current provincial government can go pound sand.
The absolute horror
