Context

Alberta is a conservative Canadian province that is rich because they extract a lot of oil. The Alberta Government opposes all measures that could reduce oil-production or oil consumption.

For instance, when the Canadian Federal Government tried to take measures to reduce plastics pollution, the Alberta Government publically protested.

Calgary is the largest city in Alberta. The city has a traffic violence problem. Data shows it has the worse road deaths and injuries rate of any major Canadian city.

Jyoti Gondek, the Mayor of Calgary, recently suggested building more safe bike lanes to reduce car dependency. A few days later, her office received this warning letter

Dear Mx Dreeshen,

In regards to your last letter, I believe I wholeheartedly understand your concerns.

Your letter helped open my eyes to the error in our plans for the city and thus we shall no longer proceed to install our planned dedicated bicycle lanes.

You are correct that we must deal with the increasing demand for access to our great city.

Therefore we shall be announcing vast improvements to our road structure in the form of increased public transport services, dedicated bus-only routes, additional pedestrianised streets in major shopping areas, and even a couple of tram routes, on top of the bicycle lanes laid out in our original plan - all thanks to your wonderful letter!

Get wrecked you spineless automotive shill.

With love,

Jyoti Gondek
