Accepting that story at face value for now, it is disappointing that Ms. Notley would not take the opportunity to "lead by example" in those circumstances. Even from a cynical perspective, she should have recognized the terrible political optics.

However, I don't think that makes her a stupid bitch. I also don't think it changes the fact that, generally speaking, communities realize a lot of efficiencies if they encourage more people to walk or use public transit more often (it's worth noting: no one, not even that stupid bitch Notley, has suggested that everyone must always walk or use public transit.)

Anyway, just my two cents.
