Man once rejected by a pretty horse girl / cyclist blocked me for pointing out the entire internet is not true 😆
Ok fine I also said this.
Also don’t read that thread unless you want your brain to explode! It’s also both offensive and amusing.
Where can I sign up for horseback riding lessons #yeg (crosspost quora)
That thread reminds me of some of the horribly misogynistic & oppressive messages I heard in some churches earlier in my life, but turns it on its head in a way that’s so absurd it’s comical. So frankly, I love this. Comedy gold

Edmonton’s police commission needs to be more transparent & open up private meetings to foster public trust, says city councillor (& commissioner) Anne Stevenson. The police commission had its first public meeting with council today. #yeg #yegcc edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
Coun. Anne Stevenson, who is also a commissioner, said there needs to be a “cultural shift” so that the oversight body becomes comfortable asking difficult questions of police leadership in a public forum.
Police commission chair John McDougall told me the commission has been “remarkably transparent” already. Even so he supports the idea to have more public committee meetings.

MORE for you on the threat of wild pigs (aka boars / feral hogs) to #yeg I didn't have space for.

“You cannot barbecue your way out of this problem": Mike Bodenchuk, USDA.

Hunting pigs for the foodbank was tried in one Texas city. But cities that try to make it into an asset instead of full eradication failed, he said. #yeg #yegcc

“Trap them if you must, shoot them if you can, kill them before they get inside the city of Edmonton": Bodenchuk.

NEWS: Developers donated at least $58,499 to Edmonton’s incoming city councillors ahead of the election. Three councillors were also part of an infill development lobbyist group.

I analyzed all the public donor lists & this is what I found. #yeg #yegcc edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…
Development executives, donating as individuals, gave the most to:

- Tim Cartmell ($22,450)
- Andrew Knack ($14,400)
- Ashley Salvador ($14,039)
- Anne Stevenson ($6,610)

Sarah Hamilton, Aaron Paquette, Jennifer Rice & Karen Principe haven’t shared their lists. #yeg #yegcc
Experts I spoke to say developers have a vested interest in the outcome of Edmonton’s elections.

“You do not contribute to every mayoral candidate at the maximum if you don’t expect to be considered in discussions” - Judith Garber, U of A
