Toronto's anti-protest "bubble zone" bylaw is 50m. This is what the proposed 200m encampment clearing from schools/playgrounds bylaw would look like at Dufferin Grove Park. (It's the entire park.)

Being in the room with these young people was definitely a highlight of the too many hours I've spent attending city hall committee meetings. A+. www.thestar.com/news/gta/how...

too early to say but if we’re lucky, mamdani’s victory woke some long-slumbering progressive political will in her. cross ur fingers

Also.... every road safety advocate railing about unregulated micromobility who isn't also doing everything in their power fighting car bloat and reducing crashes caused by drivers is not a serious advocate.

I would believe, yes.

Hi. Question. Why is the cost of running the bike valet nearly $450,000? "...handing the bike valet service to the CRD to save $448,000."??

A jerk emergency.

Oh no he does. He hates them. He hates them because he resents cyclists zipping past his enormous limo in rush-hour traffic. No, really.

We need to stop this “don’t get distracted” chiding nonsense. When you move fast and break things like the Fords and Trumps of the world, you’re actually capable of breaking a lot of things, for a plethora of shitty reasons. If it’s not your pet cause today, it will be tomorrow, just chill.

"Doug Ford doesn't actually care about bike lanes! The bike lane provisions of Bill 212 and Bill 60 are just distractions!" Doug Ford:

Or is more like CIMA+ taking the bike lane removal feasibility contract and concluding, "bro, don't do it" [paraphrasing]? (The CIMA+ report was key in Cycle Toronto v Ontario.)

Nice to feel some optimism about New York just as was starting to feel pessimism about Montreal.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Music choice is A+ trolling, Shohei

Montreal’s new mayor-elect indicates that her proposed “audit” of the bike network might not be necessary given data the city already collects. Is this a sign of moderating from the campaign populism? Or is it still going in the same direction? Who knows! Hoping for the best.

High speed rail between Windsor and Quebec City connecting Ottawa too? No?

I long ago grieved about Montreal losing the Expos. (Netflix doc confirms I'm still not over it.) How will I cope with Montreal losing its cycling network?

Narrator: They fucked it up.

Joe Posnanski is really good at this: "Maybe it is because the game inspired feelings that felt lost. Maybe it’s because every play, even the supposedly routine ones, crackled with 'Wait, did that just happen?' energy. Yes, it did happen. Too much happened." www.joeposnanski.com/p/the-greate...

Are we sure he's not the "Prime Minister of Bike Lanes" now?

Just a thought: maybe the "Prime Minister of Ontario" should focus on his actual job and less chasing distractions like bike lanes.

World Series fever in Toronto has broken, so I guess I just go back to being that guy wearing an Expos cap.

Montreal!!!! Make sure you vote today!!! I really don’t want a city with more airbnbs and fewer bike lanes 🤪

Yes I'm sure.

Rogers execs on Sportsnet+ World Series crash: “You can’t expect a streaming service that only costs $30 a month to work every time”

Don't fuck this up, Montreal.

The Blue Jays are owned by a corporation that could very easily match the Dodgers dollar for dollar in payroll and still make money off them.

Seriously, how do the 2 teams that made it to the World Series both have such terrible bullpens?
