I'm sure Alberta is removing leaking LNG tanks from being an infraction, as any leaks would float away out of the environment.

That's a concern for me. If my preferred candidate were an independent, I'd have no problem voting for them. I already have a lot of problems in this area with elected officials not acknowledging their constituents' wishes and just following the party line.

I was thinking more along the lines of, instead of X% cycling use gets X% of budget for infrastructure, the budget would be X+1%, as an example. It would divert cycling traffic away from automotive traffic, and both would benefit.
