@CityofEdmonton Why does the landscaping survey ask if you are a racial minority, and your choice of gender?

Have your say YEG! 📣 Let us know how we can improve landscaping on residential, commercial and industrial land 🌳 Complete the survey and join the conversation until August 5 edmonton.ca/ClimateResilie…

@Farmer31548981 These dry out extremely quick. You will need to connect them to irrigation or water them daily. If you can get them water every day, they do well because of the oxygen reaching the soil. Otherwise, do not recommend. Better off planting a tree, with berry bushes, and ground cover

Fall Will Be Here Before You Know It... Plan Ahead & Be Ready... You Can Make These Anytime.

@RMC19861987 "There are species of pine trees whose seeds are only released when they burn." Is false. Long hot dry weather spells will release the seeds. Check for yourself. Fire are not required, and are not beneficial to the ecology. (fires cause irreversable nutrient erosion)

🔥Some interesting stats on the forest fires across 🇨🇦. 🧑‍🚒My family is from NW Ontario where dealing with the fires & air quality has been a way of life for centuries. My grandfather told me stories of being press ganged into fighting blazes. There are species of pine trees whose seeds are only released when they burn. Perspective is important. 🔥 Fires per year have decreased over the last 50 years. Trusting that gov'ts can change the climate & that will fix fires is laughable (because they are so good at fixing other problems). Climate change isn't causing it anyways. 🌨️As a species, we adapt. My grandfather didn't have the HVAC system I do. Everyone in the GTA, calm down. It'll pass.

@CityofEdmonton This is why planting monoculture is dumb. You create a petri dish for a disease to completely wipe everything out. Monocultures do not exists in nature, only humans create these counter productive scenarios. Polyculture is self sustaining.

Dutch elm disease (DED) has been confirmed in two trees in the Northmount and Rossdale neighbourhoods. The City is taking action to protect Edmonton’s elm trees. Both trees have been removed to prevent the spread of the deadly fungal disease. If you see signs of DED, report it to 311. Learn more edmonton.ca/DutchElm

@gilmcgowan It will consume 10% of Albertans current energy usage. Supply and demand dictates our energy will go up by 10%. We already have Ai access, so what is it for? A foreign owned mass surveillance tool?

Let’s be clear: Meta chose Alberta because the UCP ditched the requirement for impact assessments. They got approval without having to address concerns about the project’s impact on our water usage or power prices. Smith serves the billionaire class, not Albertans.

@MelissaMbarki The data center can consume natural gas at a rate of 10% of Albertans current energy use. Supply and demand dictates that our energy bills will go up by 10%. For what? A foreign owned mass surveillance system? We already have access to Ai. There are zero reasons for this.

A quick search will tell you the following: In Alberta, we are fully funding new generation and grid infrastructure to support our data center, which will improve reliability across the entire Alberta grid and will benefit all consumers. At our Sturgeon data center, we plan to use a water efficient closed-loop, liquid-cooled system with dry cooling, which means there will be no operational water use in the cooling system. about.fb.com/news/2026/07/b…

@ABDanielleSmith @Meta This will not reduce energy bills. Natural gas is limited is it not? It will consume 10% of Albertas current energy usage. Supply and demand dictates our energy costs will increase by 10%. For what, a foreign owned surveillance center? We already have Ai access.

Learn more about the new Meta AI Data Centre👇 💧 Water smart: The facility will use dry cooling technology, requiring very little water. In fact, the average Alberta golf course uses more water. ⚡️ New Power Plant: Meta is building new electricity generation to support the facility, improving our grid, and bringing down electricity bills for families 👷🏽‍♂️ Jobs for Albertans: 3,000 workers will help build the facility, with 300 permanent jobs once it is complete. 🚙 Building local infrastructure: Meta is investing approximately $60 million will be invested into roads, water systems, and other local infrastructure upgrades. 💰 A historic investment: Meta is investing $13 billion to build this data centre, one of the largest private sector investments in Canadian history, generating more than $250 million annually in benefits for Albertans, including through royalties, taxes, levies, and fees.

@NDPLieDetector But it can consume 10% of Albertas current energy usage. Supply and demand dictates everyones energy costs will increase by 10%. For what? A foreign owned surveillance center, when we already have access to Ai. Only talking about water is cherry picking.

This might be the easiest fact check of the year. Before attacking a $13 billion investment into Alberta, maybe read how the project actually works. The Meta AI Data Centre uses advanced dry cooling technology and a closed loop cooling system designed to dramatically reduce water use. It uses less water than a golf course. It is not draining Alberta’s water supply.

@ABDanielleSmith @Meta Natural gas is finite. This data center can use up to 10% of Albertas current consumption. Supply and demand dictates that our energy costs will increase by 10%, and be consumed 10% faster. While providing nothing we dont already have, except a foreign owned surveillance tool.

Fact check time. Older data centres required massive amounts of water and took large amounts of electricity from the grid. What Alberta is building is the complete opposite. @meta's Sturgeon Data Centre will use a closed-loop, liquid-cooled system with dry cooling that requires no operational water use for cooling. In fact, it will use less water than an average Alberta golf course. The data centre campus will be developed under Alberta’s “bring your own power” approach. Rather than relying solely on Alberta’s electricity grid, the project will combine grid-connected electricity with generation from a new $4.6 billion private-sector funded on-site natural gas power plant, helping protect grid reliability. This will benefit electricity customers across the province by reducing transmission costs by up to six per cent on Albertans’ utility bills.

@ABDanielleSmith @Meta No. We are all connected by a shared energy grid. This Data center will consume electricity, diving up the price for everyone else. For what? A Digital Warden that will track everything we do? We already have Ai access, there is no logical reason this.

One of the largest private sector investments in Canadian history is coming home to Alberta. @Meta has chosen Alberta for its first Canadian AI data centre, a historic $13 billion investment that will create thousands of jobs, strengthen our economy, and help position our province as a global leader in artificial intelligence and technology. This project will support 3,000 construction jobs, 300 permanent positions, generate an estimated $250 million in annual benefits for Albertans, and invest $60 million into local roads, water, and community infrastructure. Meta is fully funding new generation and grid infrastructure to support the data centre, which will improve reliability across the entire Alberta grid benefiting electricity customers across the province by reducing transmission costs by up to six per cent on Albertans’ utility bills. We are proud to welcome Meta to and thank them for their confidence in our province, our economy, and most importantly, our people. Alberta has the energy, talent, and ambition to power the next generation of innovation.

@newstart_2024 imo, you can find the highest density of narcissists in online games that are PvP (player vs player), where you can loot the gear of your opposition. imo at least 50% of these ppl are narcs (somewhere on the spectrum) while "guild leaders" are 90%+ narcs, of the extreme kind.

Narcissistic personality disorder in a nutshell, according to Dr. Ramani Durvasula: It’s a stable pattern of selfishness and arrogance. Key traits: grandiosity, entitlement, living in a fantasy world, and putting your own needs above everyone else’s. The core: “I am more important than you, and your needs don’t matter.” Narcissistic traits are estimated to affect 1-6% of the general population, but subclinical levels are much more common (up to 15-18% in some estimates), with higher rates in certain industries and urban areas, contributing to relational difficulties and the “narcissism epidemic” discussed in psychological literature.

@Farmer31548981 Aluminum is the **third** most abundant element in our crust already. What ever is being sprayed is not relevant to the topic, unless you do not think we already have enough plastic kicking around and want to financially support the use of an (unrecyclable) material instead

@JaredEglinski For berries you don't need anything other than a 45 cut & wet soil. They spray enough aluminum to never need to use it for anything else...

We can make 160 new, already fruiting trees, at least once per year from now on...🫡

@jeremymackenzie About the same grow their own food.

@AllBiteNoBark88 Incorrect. If there were carbon in that it would still be black charcoal. Ash is what is left over when all the carbon has been burnt away. What is left are the solids, elements such as magnesium, phosphate, and potassium. Still good for the soil though. But no carbon.

Ashes from the fireplace will now be used in the garden as fertiliser, because Carbon makes plants grow. Read that again.

@elonmusk @jamesdouma Fix the **Rainwater Runoff Coefficient** of all terrain. Abundance will be default. 99% of it can be done via automation but can be done with stone age tools too. No more fires, no more floods. Clean rivers and oceans. Unlimited food and water.

@jamesdouma What are the most important things we need to fix?

Been making stuff with grok build this last week. The world is feeling very post-scarcity right now.

@JohnLeePettim13 Learn about Polyculture, if you plant all the same species you are guaranteeing that you will create your own pest problems and therefore need to use pesticides. I have over a a dozen species of fruit trees, and even more berry shrubs at my project and we have no pests.

@RockyTheRe44006 GrapheneOS, installed on any of the few more recent models of Pixel phone. Graphene is working with Motorola to make their own phone, but that is probably a year away

Tech friends, What are the best “least invasive” phones on the market?

@Landonforward14 Are any of them edible? Or is the city going to stick with the trend of no food grown in cities, while marching to a world where no one is going to have a job to pay for food? Grow food local, its the most cost effective solution to poverty, but the city already knows this.

The City is giving away 10,000 trees for Calgarians to plant in their yards. Calgary’s tree canopy coverage is 9.62% as measured in 2024. This includes trees planted on both public and private property. The City is working to grow and expand our tree canopy coverage to 16%. You can help by planting a tree on your property. Trees are provided through the Branching Out program at no cost by the City of Calgary. Registration for South East Calgary opens on April 20 at 10am. Anyone who would like to have a tree needs to complete a learning module prior to registration opening, which can be found alongside other information at the below link (calgary.ca/parks-rec-prog…). If you have any questions, please reach out to yyctrees@calgary.ca or our office at ward14@calgary.ca

@ABDanielleSmith Does this include factory farming of animals for consumption?

The Government of Alberta takes animal abuse seriously. That’s why, for the first time in 20 years, we’ve substantially updated the law to crack down on animal neglect. We’re expanding the authority of peace officers to address abuse and strengthening penalties for those found guilty, including higher fines and potential jail time.
