Had a video "go viral" on the weekend and it makes me realize that going viral has nothing to do with anything. It's just the machine grabbing something and firing it all over the place because there's an insatiable "need" for "content." No boost for The Sprawl or any other benefit I can see.

At city hall this morn. Green Line. On the floor is an amendment from Cllr. McLean to have admin "identify and evaluate potential alternative alignment options" for downtown.

It's official: The CTrain free fare zone has survived—for now. City council votes 9 - 6 to defer a decision on it until early 2027 when Calgary Transit comes back with a larger fare strategy. (Voting no to this was to keep the zone without the later review.) #yyccc
It is perhaps for the best that the Rainbow Bridge for pedestrians and presumably their pets was retired in the 80s but I also had no idea it is what is now the U of C arch! Thanks @klaszus.bsky.social for another great @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social CTrain story!
