We’ve all trained ourselves to see car infrastructure as “normal” — and therefore its costs as invisible. Roads aren’t expensive, they’re just there. Parking spaces aren’t subsidies, they’re just “necessary”. But a bus that runs on demand? That’s “spending taxpayer money”.

Now is the time to fight for our values.

Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported. #FAFO www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

I’m in #Vancouver. The SkyTrain continues to expand (Broadway Line under construction) + increase its ridership. There were 350,000 daily boardings last year, up 6% over 2023. With Canada Line, half a million. Here’s an Expo Line train, made by Bombardier, arriving at Main St-Science World Station.

Takes a shot at Vancouver....Broadway street comes immediately to mind...one of ABC's first blunders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpWm...

That time of the year when we celebrate the cozy winter village and worship the bustling holiday markets, streets, shops, restaurants and a vibrant outdoor life full of community & togetherness that we continually refuse to support, approve or build for everyday life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvTw...

I saw way too much stuff like this when I visited earlier this year. On the plus side, Toronto doesn’t have weird masked kidnappers running around

Here's the relationship Canada and America are meant to have.

A city of drivers expands, rapidly and inevitably, into sprawl. A city of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit-users settles gradually and elegantly into itself.

With the tube strike, can't imagine how many Londoners are riding bikes today! youtu.be/OunBRdTIe3w?...

Mayor Sim and ABC behind closed doors plan to constuct the Alaska Way viaduct bought used off Seattle. This will solve the controversial and a compromised solution for 2 Way traffic west of Denman.

"The current bridge with 8 lanes of traffic was not needed, it was previously designed for a freeway system that never was built. 2 lanes are now allocated for bike and pedestrians, providing another safer connection to the downtown core." Ivan Chan Photography www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC2s...

Almost everything "illegal" I do on a bike is a direct result of the roads being designed for cars only. No bike lane on a busy road? Ride on the sidewalk. Stop signs on every block slowing your momentum? Treat them as yield signs. No way to make a left turn? Use the crosswalk to set up the left.

The transformation of a "car sewer" Tree canopy has matured from 3 years ago. The kids park with coffee shop is at the intersection of 2 protected bike lanes. youtu.be/t4EB2wexdnM?...

Much of it was built out in the 1950s and 1960s. With about 42,000 residents, it is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in North America. United States, those were the years of urban renewal. This Canadian city took a different path: "Vancouverism" www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018...

Next week, Vancouver City Council will vote on the revitalization plan for Granville Street in downtown Vancouver. A permanent car-free, pedestrian-only street, with high-density hotel, office, retail/dining & entertainment uses. #vancre #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/gr...

Downtown Vancouver is a sea of parking lots 1964

Trump's tariff's on Canadian dairy is mainly for show...

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Host Ben Meiselas interviews Canadian MP Charlie Angus who directs a powerful message to Trump and his regime.

In 2021, several months after former President Biden took office, Apple said it would invest $430 billion domestically over the following five years. Today's announcement marks an added $39 billion in spending and an extra 1,000 jobs annually over its previous numbers. www.yahoo.com/tech/apple-p...

Road development throughout the 20th century was based primarily on the premise that more infrastructure eases traffic. But evidence shows that road building, instead of reducing congestion, actually increases traffic. thecityfix.com/blog/traffic...

"Beefing up border security" was already in the works in the amount of 1.3 billion since December 2024. The recent media headlines are misleading... www.canada.ca/en/public-sa...
