Playing hockey for a living has changed the way some women in the Professional Women’s Hockey League see themselves in the game.

“[Smith] did not come to listen,” Kim said. “She did not care. She had a few talking points that she regurgitated at us.”

"Unfortunately, the 'good' models, the more realistic ones, are the ones where the AMOC weakens most... even for an intermediate emissions scenario, the probability of shutting down the AMOC is way above 50%... we will probably pass the point of no return for an AMOC shutdown in the next 10-20yrs" 😱

It's hard to overstate how extraordinary it is that Quebec City could be considered a bike friendly city, but the changes made in the past 4 years have been radical and fundamental, and I couldn't be more proud of my city.

When it comes to designing cities for biking and walking, Ghent Belgium may still not be as well known as Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Paris yet, but it’s one of the most inspiring cities in the world. I was honoured to do some work with them in 2019. Watch @streetfilms.bsky.social’s fantastic video:

The Manitoba Municipal Board and the Granite Curling Club think that where cars "sleep" is more important than where people sleep. We could lose housing for 200 people because they decided that 45 parking stalls were more important than housing. #winnipeg #mbpoli open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

Read the Municipal Board decision that the Granite Curling Club effectively has a veto on putting housing on the city owned parking lot adjacent the club. Here's what I wrote about this project back in February when it first went to #winnipeg council. #pluscachange open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

Social justice and environmental justice are one and the same thing.

Specially designed bricks that provide safe nesting spaces for swifts are being installed on properties around Shirebrook Valley as part of a council-funded environmental scheme.

I calculated change in access to jobs by transit before and after Winnipeg's bus network redesign. 🚍 The median resident experienced an increase of 4% in access to jobs within 45 minutes, according to my analysis in R. The redesigned network gets more people to more places within the same time.

Just a guy on his way to curl at the granite in front of an ocean of surface parking that is empty virtually every weekend and evening and hoping adults can figure out how to share. “Social Housing Rocks” curling sweater by cousin Barb.

Avec l'ouverture du REM, connaissez-vous l'histoire du métro de la rue Saint-Paul dans le Vieux-Montréal? www.youtube.com/shorts/kLLLe...

Thanks to the REM, this view, southbound over the Rivière-des-Prairies, is now only 20 minutes from downtown #Montréal. As of this weekend, 14 new stations open, served by driverless electric trains with frequencies of as little as 3 minutes. It’s free to ride today!

You’ve probably heard this claim: Climate’s always changing! It's true, Earth’s climate has changed before. But not this fast, and not for this reason. Introducing Cold Facts, Hot Takes: my new series of evidence-based replies to common troll takes 🔥 Want the whole episode? Links below ⬇️

You’re the ones who have to come up with the actual plan, dipshit.

Winnipeg curling club stops affordable housing complex because they’ll lose half their parking spots. I bike past this block every day and it’s the *perfect* spot for more housing. I hope this can be resolved.

this rocks so hard

My son’s band “We’re Only Here For The Snacks” is on the front of the Globe and Mail Arts Section! Thrilling. Their album “Missed Our Stop” is out Nov. 21 and release party is at the WECC on Nov. 23.

This is a great story - young folk finding joy in writing, performing and sharing music, bucking against the screentime. And Winnipeg’s We’re Only Here For The Snacks is featured! @julespenner.bsky.social Globe and Mail gift article

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is a superb non-fiction and fiction writer. He’s got both heart and chops. He also did this music video on the ISS. youtu.be/pDyl6I6ESSw

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand. If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers. If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers. Spread the word.

My favourite sentence in the #winnipeg budget (so far): "The City's next multi-year budget cycle includes significant tax supported shortfalls starting at around $150 million in 2028 to $174 million in 2031. The next Council to be elected in 2026 will tackle this challenge. ” #wpgpoli

Car dependency is a hell of a drug.

"A government needs to know when to walk away, to break a promise even. Not only would a deal with Trump be subject to sudden dismantling, the cost of securing one — what Canada would have to give up — is unlikely to be worth the expected returns." #CdnPoli

"Everyone - whether driving, walking or cycling has a role to play in keeping our community safe." -Mayor Andrea Horwath My question is simple: What about those who design, approve, build and maintain hostile road design? Do they have a role?

Manitoba is aiming to become the next big thing when it comes to AI data centres. What are politicians saying? And what does it mean for the province? @jsrutgers.bsky.social breaks it all down: thenarwhal.ca/manitoba-ai-...

Elbows so far up that we're giving billions to American organizations! And definitely don't look into who runs Ksi Lisims, there's definitely no fascists involved. Definitely no hardcore Trumpers. The elbows are down.

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG. Yikes!!!!! Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

Each year, Canada's female athlete of the year is presented with the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award. The namesake of that award was one of the greatest athletes in Canadian history. Hockey, track and field, baseball, she exceled at nearly every sport. This is her amazing story. 🧵 1/12

"From snow clearing, the disappearing urban canopy, the quality of sidewalks, responsiveness to 311, to the state of our streets, the state of Winnipeg’s public space is the abject reflection of what being the cheapest, and worst, looks like."

As part of the lead up to the #winnipeg budget, being released on Nov. 14, the Mayor's Office has shared that according to Calgary, Winnipeg has the lowest taxes among major cities. The city is using this to indicate how affordable Winnipeg is. www.winnipeg.ca/news/2025-11...

This ostrich thing illustrates that the 'culture wars' aren't so much about 'culture' as they are people who believe in science and democracy, and people who don't.

On this day in 1971, Mon oncle Antoine premiered. Set in Quebec it tells the story of 15-year-old Benoît amid the Asbestos Strike of 1949. One of the greatest Canadian films ever made, it won eight Canadian Film Awards. Watch it here: www.nfb.ca/film/mon-onc...

Postcard from #Montréal. Bixis under the snow. I rode my own winter bike to work. Rough sledding, with few of the streets plowed. And 20 cm on Nov. 11 is a bit much, ‘stie!

On entend souvent que les pistes cyclables nuisent aux commerces. Pourtant, plusieurs études démontrent le contraire. Mais quand est-il de la grève de la STM? Beaucoup de gens n'ont pas d'auto et dépendent du TeC. Mon point, c’est que la mobilité active est essentielle à la vitalité des commerces.

Good morning sports fans from the San Francisco airport. What a great week of curling in Lake Tahoe. And a stunning sunrise to begin a new week. Grey Cup week. Back to Canada. Have a great Monday wherever this finds you.
