It’s awesome to see this — but seriously, it’s so damn frustrating that we have to fight this fight in every city when the science couldn’t be clearer. Get the cars out, make more money for local shops, and build cities that are exciting, healthy, and happy for everyone.

Went to tonight’s book launch for “Life after cars” by the nyc podcasters behind @waroncars.bsky.social - great to see @lucymaloney.bsky.social @tomflood.bsky.social and an intro by @uytaelee.bsky.social - combining humour, insight and a bit of fire

We know lots of you have been asking 3M for a Black Aura - like mask for consumer use. Today we're excited to launch a new product to fill that hole in the market! Introducing the headband version of BreatheTeq KN95. Available in black and white.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Here are the governance/policy resolutions to be debated/voted on at the UCP AGM. Struck by how many reference Charter rights. I guess Charter rights are very important to UCP members. unitedconservative.ca/wp-content/u...

Sunday night at 8! THIS is a conversation you don’t want to miss! We sit down with Keep Alberta RCMP to set the record straight on policing in Alberta and what Alberta stands to lose if Smith plows ahead with her Provincial Police Force! See you at 8! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I vote:

ok but how about a 50 billion year mortgage

Light up your bike, not necessarily for added visibility, but because it adds enjoyment to your night riding.

Important research from the University of Alberta about why women are disproportionately affected by Long Covid. Implications: do everything you can to not get COVID and to not spread it to others. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

When Canada is in the midst of the worst doctor shortage in its history, this doesn’t address this. So unfortunate. #cdnpoli

This is hundreds of times every day at every major intersection in this city. It is only luck (and sometimes the skill of the bike commuter) that more people biking and walking are not dead. #ThereAreNoAccidents #DeadlyByDesign #TucsonDTM #Tucson #NHTSA #TheWarOnCars

I used to wonder if people would take this virus seriously again if evidence emerged that it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, but now that researchers have found just that I find myself wondering what more it will take.

Edmonton has had a disturbingly high number of frostbite amputations the last two winters. With freezing temps on the way, both the City and the Government of Alberta must do more to prevent people from freezing in the cold. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #yegcc

A fun first night in Vancouver on our LIFE AFTER CARS book tour. Got to hang with @tomflood.bsky.social @visionzerovancouver.ca @lucymaloney.bsky.social. So cool to see the Vision Zero campaign Tom designed on a billboard!

NEW EPISODE: "How Cars Change Us with Tara Goddard." Why do people behave so badly behind the wheel of a car? Why do reporters use passive language to describe traffic violence? @drtaragoddard.bsky.social joins us to talk about her fascinating research. thewaroncars.org/2024/12/17/1...

Billionaires should not exist. But trillionaire should not even be a word in the English language.

Re-sharing to pin to my profile. I was very grateful for the opportunity to join Sarah and Doug for a wide-ranging conversation on some of my favorite (if difficult) subjects. It encapsulates a lot of my research agenda and professional worldview that windshield bias affects so much of our world.

The world blew past the dangerous 1.5 degree red line. Our grandkids will pay the price. Canada was the outlier in the G7 because of massive oil production expansion. Mark Carney has decided to go all in on planet burning as a national strategy. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/11/07/c...

The big science accounts are talking about immune dysregulation due to COVID-19 now. I. Told. You. So. Infection does confer antibodies and T cells against C19… but it also takes a wrecking ball to the immune system as a whole. Stop burning down your house. (Metaphorically.)

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

The sociological explanation for current plans to cram AI into the school curriculum is old - a curriculum is always a composite of the "knowledge of the powerful". AI firms and friends are now very powerful, just as tech firms were when "learning to code" got crammed into the curriculum too.

The claim that “emissions have come down” in this @nytimes.com @sominisengupta.bsky.social article on where we are ten years post-Paris is FALSE. Global emissions were at an all-time high in 2024. As it stands this claim is misinformation. They need to issue a correction!

My students are really sick of being harassed by chatbots popping up when they are writing.

I think about this post every day 🧪

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

A study of nearly 14 million kids in England found COVID infection—not the vaccine—carries the bigger danger: long-lasting risks of clots, heart inflammation, & immune flare-ups. Vaccine-linked issues were rare & short-term. Facts matter. 💉📊 #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #SciSky #IDSky #PedsSky

The government that claims to know best can’t even competently handle introducing their bill to take away charter rights. nuff said. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

Just a thought: If UCP MLAs put half as much public effort into asking the premier's office hard questions about Bill 2 as they're putting into tone-policing critics of their own use of the notwithstanding clause, we wouldn't be in this spot in the first place.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

For those keeping score, the premier: 🔵has already started picking her voters (through voter suppression laws). 🔴wants to choose who can run for office (only "serious" candidates qualify). ⚪️now wants to decide which MLAs deserve to be recalled (and which ones get to keep their seats).

I have a new way of responding when people ask me why I’m still wearing a mask. “I learned this habit when the C-19 pandemic started. What did you learn from it?”

I’ve literally seen this movie before.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

By the numbers... This is how AUPE overwhelmingly voted in their strike vote today. With over 70% turnout, 98% voted for a strike. Of 11,031 votes, only 219 voted against a strike. You might think the UCP would start to notice a pattern... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Canada’s true uniqueness is that every few years we de facto make the leader of the often 1-seat Green Party our supreme authority and it really hasn’t failed yet

Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today. If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means. That's right. Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis
