Pesky e-bike riders delivering food to people should be ticketed... @tps.ca there appears to be a double standard here because stopping in for some Jerk King, although delicious is not actively responding to an emergency. The use of the lights here, while clever, is certainly inappropriate.

Can you listen politely? Can you accept that sometimes good people have views you don't share? If you scored at least 50% on the preceding quiz, you're overqualified to be a Halifax Police Commissioner.

Fire departments also argue against some #roadsafety improvements that would slow down cars and make our neighbourhoods safer. Why? Because they like their big trucks and don't want to replace them with smaller trucks. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Similar vibe

It's not that every individual driver is a murderous asshole (I'm not!). It's that car dependency as a whole is dangerous. It's that cars are deadly when they hit people. It's that our society prioritizes drivers above all else. It's about a system that is dangerous for anyone not in a car.

Say what you want about them, they do a great headline.

As I said above, Montreal still healing from "autoroutification", where highway-style interchanges were believed to be the solution for unusual urban intersections, prime example being the Pine-Parc interchange. Look at that monstrosity, impossible to cross on foot. Pic on right is the replacement.

They are also investigating why my email from Sept, in which I said this needed to be addressed immediately before someone is killed got marked as “low priority”.

I take it all back, we do not actually need the Oxford comma.

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS

#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... 🧵

Joe Carter just slid on the home run jacket, now he's running down the dugout high-fiving the entire #BlueJays roster. The man is having the time of his life.

Halifax's 3 pillars of road safety. Education: no campaign, no funding for one, non-existent Enforcement: 3 cops, no cameras Engineering: Speed humps, flashing lights, flex posts and paint. Geee whizz, what a big fucking mystery why we're having the deadliest year since we started keeping track.

This took me about 10 mins to make. Trump says that audio of Ronald Reagan in the Ontario ad is fake. So I took the two videos and synced them up. The audio in both of the videos is playing at the time. #tarrifs #TradeWar #RonaldReagan #Trump #Ontario #Canada

Raining for the second time in same week, is that allowed?

Hallowe'en is just around the corner and it is one of the most dangerous days for children. Here are some safety tips: 1) Avoid hitting children with your pickup truck, SUV or other motor vehicle. It is technically against the law to harm or kill a child with your vehicle and you could be charged.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

All six of these things exist somewhere on the continuum between "bicycle" and "car", but there's total subjectivity, from road users and governments and cops, on where the line is drawn from 1 to 6 in terms of: - what is an "e-bike" - what is allowed in bike lanes

C'est "La Vie Après les Voitures."

Alt headline: Free parking policy working exactly as expected.

We have built a world where people have to drive/feel they have to drive no matter their fitness to do so. This is a disservice to the drivers and every single person on the road with them, and it’s systemic.

"these cameras are just cash grabs towards poor drivers"

#BikeHfx. I stopped to chat with staff at the Lord Nelson this morning, after getting soaked in the South Park bike lane. They are fully aware that they: 1. Aren’t following the water conservation rules; & 2. Are soaking cyclists in the bike lane. They have no plans to change either of these.

In #Switzerland, fine for a speeding driver is based (1) on how far over the limit the driver is going (2) on how much the driver earns. One man caught driving his Ferrari at 137 km/h the in an 80 km/h zone in a village near St. Gallen was fined 300,000 Swiss Francs (today, $375,000 US). 🇨🇭🧵

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.” Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest. Sound like “freedom” to you?

"He’s the one who ordered all those government workers back to the office. He’s the one who took the tolls off the bridge, increasing traffic by 10%. He’s the one who won’t provide provincial funding for Halifax’s bus system..."

Here's a safety tip: stronger members of a hiking team must *never* leave the weaker/less experienced member(s) of a hiking team behind, never tell them to start going back downhill alone, simply never leave someone "who can't go on" alone.

Why do I say 'more qualified'? Because maybe we should have fewer wealthy people involved in politics. Maybe people who aren't willing to do public service for less than $300,000/year should fuck off, and hard-working, public service-oriented people can do the job better!
