Edmonton, Canada's City Council Considering 15-Minute Cities Policy, Like Chinese Open Air Prisons

How many times have we been told the 'environmentally friendly' notion of a '15-minute city' was just a right-wing conspiracy? Many, many times. The media scolded the right for calling such things 'tyrannical' (they are). Well, now Edmonton, Canada's city council is considering a proposal for those 15-minute communities that were just a conspiracy. An email blast confirmed that Edmonton will move on to next steps for its proposed 15-minute communities. City Council will consider all public feedback and likely approve the policy this fall. https://www.rebelnews.com/edmonton_city_council_pursuing_15-minute_city_policy_for_this_fall

From Rebel News: An email blast confirmed that Edmonton will move on to next steps for its proposed 15-minute communities. "District plans are key in bringing The City Plan's 'Community of Communities' vision to life by laying the foundation for 15-minute communities,” the email explained. Last February, the city announced it would divide its 400 neighborhoods into many 15-minute cities, calling it a "necessary tool." According to the District Planning Guide, building a "community of communities — small towns in our big city" is a multi-year project to accommodate people. "This vision is for new and current residents to enjoy more housing, recreation, education and employment opportunities in all of Edmonton’s districts and to have more travel options within and across districts," reads the email.

Sounds positively dystopian. -- Chinese 15-minute cities are open air prisons. These Chinese people are lining up to scan a QR code to verify their vaccine passport, and get their faces scanned. So they can move in or out of this neighborhood zone. No freedom of movement at all!! -- Which is something the government is fine with. They don't want us to move freely. It's bad for the environment, after all (just like gas stoves, that the Biden administration wasn't going to target, until they did). Notice a pattern here?
