Not a lot for Canada to be #happy about in 'The world's five happiest cities for 2025' that #BBC is writing about today. Halifax is the first Canadian city on the list at number 148. Toronto - 160, Ottawa - 178, Quebec City - 193. Kids have the right idea - more PLAY! happy-city-index.com

Took a listen to this on my walk around my own town this morning. This stuck with me - any other consumer product causing the harms to those who use or interact with it that cars cause would be banned or severely restricted. Instead we restrict our kids. Great discussion! #CarCult
