now we're fucking talking. They won't ever get that money but the point is to destroy the perpetrators and make it too risky to ever try to do similar again we should all be doing similar

A pedestrian in a wheelchair has reportedly been hit by a driver and seriously injured in this RA-5 crosswalk on Herring Cove Road. This crosswalk has been the location of far too many pedestrian injuries. 😖

The fucking twat from the Police Brotherhood of Police Men and Women says that the Station 39 cops just represent 16 (sixteen) separate, isolated incidents of racism, and do not, in any way, indicate a racism problem within the ranks of the SPVM. I wish I was joking. I really really do.

For those in #BikeHfx curious about the multi use path adjacent to Commons skate park — is fully blocked off at the moment, no reasonable or marked detour yet. So many signs!

Confirmed that staff couldn’t make it to work … because of the traffic.

you gave up 4 runs in 4 innings to take the loss, maybe you should be less focused on quoting Genesis and more focused on Job and Numbers

CORRECTION: The [street] is [definately open]. Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, 5 blocks open to people, fun and public life during the FIFA World Cup. Just the beginning. #OpenStreets #Vancoucer

From my balcony I can see red smoke coming up from BMO field, so I guess Canada has a new Pope?

I will be hanging around Dahlia/ Maple/ Sullivans pond tomorrow counting cars and bikes from 10ish until 12ish tomorrow if anyone wants to stop by and talk about non-existent bike lanes and other things for @grandparade.bsky.social !

Don't think new doctor assigned to me (regular on leave) was impressed today: Dr: are you ok with me using AI? Me: No. Actually take that back, it's up to you. If you are fine with destroying the planet and using stolen material, feel free. Dr: Well. .well no. They did type everything out

Fun(?) with spreadsheets! If you combine Halifax's 2024 Road Safety Strategy with Halifax's road safety dataset, you will find that "safe road users" have killed 47 people since Jan 1, 2018.

A German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for false claims in AI Overviews after AI summaries wrongly linked two publishers to scams. Judges rejected Google's argument that users should fact-check the results themselves searchengineland.com/google-liabi...

At nine years old, Alexandre Masse is tackling road safety. He says it is an issue that comes up every day on his walk to school. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

Hey at CTV Atlantic want to interview me questioning the need for a Car road on such low use ways?

'50 bikes per hour during rush hour' Wait. We can just know things. *goes to city's traffic data* The most recent traffic study on Dahlia was in March of 2025, and showed 26 cars per hour in the busiest hour.

This is unhinged. - Halifax already counts bikes! They have many permanent counters, and the data is public. - I could find you a hundred roads within walking distance of my home that have less than 50 cars per hour. Is anyone questioning whether they should exist?

Maybe more people would use that bike lane if some creepy old guy wasn't filming it...

FWIW: natural gas (methane) is a globally-traded commodity. Extracting it here isn’t going to make it any more affordable to NSians or make us any less affected by global oil prices. Solar on every rooftop, however,

Toronto showed up - this was a ride to protest the recent violent takedown of a cyclist.

I'm Canadian and I don't want this. I want the feds to focus on climate and protecting the environment, not wrecking it.

hilarious for carney’s AI press conference to be in front of a bunch of medical workers weeks after the ontario auditor general reveal AI “scribes” to transcribe doctor’s appointments are wrong most of the time

Life was literally giving this man lemons, and he filed charges instead of making lemonade

Reading the ignorant, hateful, and bigoted comments from miserable Nova Scotians on Facebook posts about Pride Month makes me realize this is the point of Pride Month. Happy Pride, everyone!

Fillmore diagnosed the high collision rate as being “related to congestion” and caused by driver frustration leading to road rage. (Pet peeve of mine the way we talk about drivers and road violence as if people don’t have free will & aren’t responsible for any crimes they commit behind the wheel)

For the first time since I was born, my hometown started approving a $&¢¥-tonne of new rental projects. You'll never guess what happened next.

my canned response this year when people complain about anything regarding buskers will be ... "please be sure to contact your local MP, MLA and/or municipal councillor about the effect funding cuts have had on festivals and events.”

Ils ont le sens de l’humour, ces fromagers 😂

Yeah, a reminder that I am aggressively anti Generative AI because I'm a consent educator. I know how consent works. And a world that says "You wrote a book? Cool, let me guzzle a lake's worth of water to steal that and repackage it" is a world I don't want to participate in.

Riposte citoyenne à la bannière de Second Sons/Frontenac Active Club à Shawinigan:

Video of what appears to be multiple @tps.ca officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT. Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?" Cop - "You didn't stop." If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop. Mayor Chow & @ausmalik.bsky.social plz look into this.

I think the most fun part of the city's road safety strategy is the part where they say safe road users are ones that obey the speed limit but also that about 70% of drivers don't obey the speed limit.

This was the Meta AI summary for Scritchy the raccoon pylon the day after it appeared. AI is just out there making stuff up with their whole chest. No one even knew its name at this point.

The World Cup is about celebrating exotic host nation cultures

I always find it interesting that when I post videos critiquing Carney's policies, a common response is, "Well it was either him or Poilievre, so what's the point of criticizing him now?" as if voting for someone gives them complete immunity from all further attacks like some sort of Survivor idol

I find this shocking. 60% of Canadians say they feel forced to own a car to access their daily needs! There is HUGE pent-up demand for better transportation options. Paraphrasing @lorinah.bsky.social: people are just not all that jazzed about spending their days in a car. survey.mobilizingjustice.ca

"and another thing: your house is ugly. please put in the newspaper that i think your house is ugly."

Much of the bike lane discourse ignores the need for (both independent and not) child mobility. Our optometrist appointment today is a much safer and easier bike ride today thanks to councillors like @lecwhite.bsky.social who fought for this infra.

Maybe HRM should do a survey on what people’s experiences with this whole “cars” thing have been like. Do you use cars? Do you see people breaking safety rules with cars? Have you or anyone you know ever been injured by a car? How are you finding the cost? Do you think the program should continue?

Residents are invited to provide feedback on the shared micromobility pilot project that offers e-bike and e-scooter rentals in the Halifax region. The survey is open to all and runs May 25 to June 26, helping inform future improvements. Learn more: www.halifax.ca/home/news/re...
