RE: https://flipboard.com/@ctvnews/edmonton-05m5ijd8z/-/a-Xr1SC56QRQG4PSuf5tPpuQ%3Aa%3A2823982346-%2F0 Would be a shame if this sham form by this sham government got flooded with positive requests for more bike infrastructure... EDIT: It's been pointed out that the structure of the form and the pattern of the UCP means that any submission will probably just get used as a hard "look, we got X complaints! Time to take out the bike lanes!" What we really need is a counter-form... #yegBike #yycBike #BikeTooter

@Daveography@yeg.bike Way I see it, they'll claim what they want about the responses to this form, and do what their base demands regardless, but I still submitted my contrary response. I chose "cost for taxpayers", then put a screed about how much car dependency costs us. Yeah, probably futile, but maybe, just maybe, some intern compiling results might be swayed, and tweak the report a bit, and start a snowball rolling... Yeah, probably not.

@Daveography@yeg.bike @CTVNews@flipboard.com they would simply be counted as respondents. You saw them twist the forever Canadian petitioners into “people who want a referendum.” Ignore reality and declare victory anyway is the modern conservative’s solution to any challenge.
