Like, I can't stop thinking about this... Was there any public engagement? Any consultations? Did we do a fucking study?

Everything that happens on social media coming from City Hall will be about campaigning for the next elections. Unfortunately we have been watching how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaigned by promising free transit, housing and humanity. Every candidate will have to do better and we're watching.

One of the ways to "clean-up" the city, and avoid having garbage cans rummaged through is to spend money on housing and feeding the vulnerable population, not just fancy garbage cans.

Listen to Adam's show tomorrow. We get SPICY!

Remember A Bug's Life? There. Are. More. Of. Us.

PSA

A man. A rant in 12 parts. This week has been rough. In less than 5 days, I’ve had three incidents involving men and I want to share them with you. 1/12 @ianmccausland.bsky.social

Woohoo! Just found out that Life After Cars is on the USA Today nonfiction bestseller list! www.usatoday.com/booklist/typ...

Whenever I think the world is just full of bad news, I stop to think about how people from across the city came together to help elect a female community organizer who's passionate about our city. We're cheering you on as you get sworn in at City Hall tomorrow @emmaewood.bsky.social We ❤️you.

I recorded a quick interview about my book! Watch it here: youtube.com/shorts/rui-J...

#Montreal, under Mayor @valplante.bsky.social has been a beacon among North American cities. City now has: ✅ 1,000 Bixi stands, with 12,600 bikes ✅ 1,083 kms of bike lanes ✅ 9.4 kms of streets pedestrianized But there's an election on Nov. 2, and things are likely to change... 🧵

If you've never thought you had a really great reason to support @thewaroncars.bsky.social on Patreon, I present to you reason one million.

Let's goooooo!

MY HOPE: that @emmaewood.bsky.social winning while running a positive campaign that had an actual platform gives hope to anyone, but particularly any WOMAN thinking of running next year in #winnipeg

Elmwood East-Kildonan last night

Let Emma’s victory to be an encouragement to all the quiet leaders putting in the work of building our community, and a warning to the politically ambitious cynics aiming to tear others down in order to build themselves up. Lobbing culture war bombs and stoking driver grievances won’t cut it.

Yes. @emmaewood.bsky.social did a wildly brave thing in sticking her neck out for all of us, putting herself forward in this climate of vitriol and reaction, and proved that the good person *can* win, and commandingly so. It is worth it to run. (1/)

Congratulations Emma!!!!! We are so fortunate to have you! @emmaewood.bsky.social

I got to speak at the World Bicycle Forum about my book this weekend. I was touched by the encouraging feedback and so excited for the new connections made.

Really enjoying this new book by my friend and fellow bike advocate @pattybikes.com Love learning more about our her inspiring journey to biking all year round (even in #Winnipeg). Highly recommend this one, even to non-cyclists! ❤️🙌

One of the best ways to reach our community has been @ianmccausland.bsky.social idea to bring Coffee Outside to Winnipeg. This past Friday we had the last one of the year and celebrated by handing out over 60 breakfast sandwiches! Thank you to Harrison’s Coffee and to our volunteers.

Who?

FINALLY got caught up on @pattybikes.com 's fabulous podcast! So good, y'all should be listening! 🚲 🚴🏿‍♀️ That's Her Problem! Podcast — Patty Wiens - Bicycle Mayor of Winnipeg share.google/i0tRXdg6OC6n...

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

HUGE legal victory: @cycletoronto.bsky.social has won its Charter challenge of the Ford government's legislation requiring removal of Toronto bike lanes! Justice Schabas ruled that the law puts cyclists at increased risk of harm and death which engages the right to life and security of the person.

Councillor Janice Lukes likes to remind cyclists that we're lucky we're not Toronto. I'd like to say she's lucky we're not Toronto. Cyclists sue and win. @ianmccausland.bsky.social www.cycleto.ca/cycle_toront...

Hey! It's new episode day! I had such an amazing talk about kids, community, bikes, e-bikes and I hope you enjoy it too! I ADORE Stephanie and learned so much from this conversation! youtu.be/bS3v8SDrBhc?...

Keep going @pattybikes.com make some "Scott Galloway" level $ on that podcast!

"Perhaps after our next election, we will have councillors who can sit through a meeting." As someone who always has the councillor leave the room during my delegation, I ask you, is it bullying or is it a sign of respect?

If you want to have a giggle or ten, watch this episode of my podcast, where I interview UK comedic cyclist Sarah Jasah (Cycling in Sparkly Wellies) youtu.be/Yw7j_4NqRns

I feel this deeply. Gen X unite.
