To get better walking, biking, and transit in a place like Canada, most people you need to convince are drivers (at least sometimes). And if you succeed, current drivers will walk, bike, take transit more often. So "us vs them" rhetoric about driving might be appealing but IMHO is counterproductive

“Last year the province administered 750,000 doses — largely to people over 50 years of age. This year the province has ordered only 485,000 doses, a 30 per cent reduction. That means a quarter of the population, again mostly the elderly, that wants the vaccine will not find it available.”

Tonight's Mass will end up at Sandy Beach. Conditions for roads seem to be mostly dry but there may still be sneaky ice patches, especially once we hit the park. Hardly wait to see you all! #yycbike
