Poilievre's leadership is flailing so maybe the guy who seems to be dreaming about leading the Conservative Party can finally get his chance. Mark Carney, go get 'em tiger!

Québecor câllé out et pas juste un peu. Je vous conseille fortement la lecture de cette lettre.

With a bike lane as wide and well-maintained as this, who *couldn’t* bike in the winter?

Mayor Olivia Chow’s official response to the recent outcry over the #finchwestlrt. Both Line 6 and the streetcars are set to get *Active* Transit Signal Priority in the coming months. Big win for transit advocates and riders! www.reddit.com/r/toronto/co...

People sometimes say "don't complain". And the TTC has just made excuses instead of listening and showing leadership. But advocates complained, and got a win as a result.

Yesterday, I testified on anti-feminist ideology before a House of Commons committee. The internet handled it…about as well as you’d expect. The part that I didn’t necessarily expect, however, was the unhinged nature of some of the questions I’d be asked. Come with me behind the scenes:

POV : Ton chocolat chaud est froid et tu n’as pas regardé l’épisode 4 de Stranger Things parce que tu as dû débattre avec l’amie complotiste de ta mère que les faits ne sont pas des opinions et que la réalité est complexe et nuancée, que la science est fiable et véridique, que Trump n’est pas bon.

“Under Doug Ford's leadership, our government is delivering largest transit expansion in Canadian history." Give me a break! Eglinton Crosstown, which (might) open in coming weeks, expands Toronto's transit network by 28 km. REM (already running) adds 67 km to #Montreal 's network.

Le PQ est tellement dégoûtant à tous les niveaux. Les rhétoriques de PSPP enrichissent la haine, la division, la peur et le harcèlement. C’en est similaire au Trumpisme. Jamais je n’aurais cru que ce soit le parti social-démocrate ouvert d’antan qui apporte ce style de politique ici…

«Ça ajoute quelque chose de concret», reconnaît le président de Campagne Québec-Vie.

Les gens veulent le PQ au pouvoir mais ne veulent pas de référendum. PSPP le sait très bien. Il faut donc créer artificiellement des indignations pour réveiller le peuple. Les artistes qui ne dénoncent pas le fédéralisme qui noie le Québec sont donc suspects envers la Nation.

Y'a des gens chez Rad-Can qui ont vu Tucker Carlson inviter Nick Fuentes et se sont dit : « ah ouais carrément c'est ça qu'il faut faire! » ...

hot take: poorly maintained walking/biking infrastructure is MORE dangerous than not having it at all because you have to use the car infrastructure and then also worry about people driving more aggressively around you because you aren't in "your" space.

As Chantal Hébert said, folks are missing the climate forest for the pipeline trees. Carney rolled back major climate policies for Alberta, now! In exchange for a lil industrial carbon price increase and the BS that is carbon capture! Forgetting the pipeline, this is BAD for the climate crisis!

Alberta attacking the charter to shield anti-trans laws? Bill 9. Quebec's push to force anyone wearing religious symbols from public life? Bill 9. Federal bid to "combat hate" that could stifle pro-Palestine advocacy? Bill C-9 No more Bill 9s until we figure out what the fuck is going ON!!!!

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store. But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.

Is there any more depressing story in urbanism than the fact that people kept cutting down speed cameras in Toronto, and then the premier just… agreed with them and banned speed cameras across the province? It honestly makes me so mad.

I’m not an advocate of free transit overall, but I like Calgary’s free zone downtown on the LRT. It solves one common problem of transit: for many short trips transit might be useful, but just not worth the full fare. $3.80 isn’t worth it to turn a 20-minute walk into a 10-minute transit ride.

Good moment to remember that electric cars are still cars. They still : - Cause congestion - Affect pedestrians/cyclists security - Affect negatively the way we plan our cities - Pollute a lot more at their assembly and still release small particles from their tires - heavier = causes more damage

Sans parler du fait que les Conservateurs de l’Alberta dirigé par Smith et leur penchant fédéral ont fait et font encore des campagnes d’intimidation et d’attaques personnelles contre Mr Guilbeault pour le simple fait qu’il désir mettre un frein à leur envie de détruire notre planète.

Myth: drivers deserve more space on roads than cyclists & pedestrians because they pay registration and gas taxes Facts: (1) registration and gas taxes don’t cover all the costs of road construction and maintenance; (2) most bikers/peds also have a car (90% of US households owns one)

Fuck capitalism, but he’s right yall

My 17 pro killing it 😌

How can a city be family-friendly if it doesn’t have a train network you can ride with your kids

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

I’m not trying to be the fun police and I want us to be able to joke around and get along (I love Chris Wilson!) But if we’re going to keep doing these events in the current political climate, the press might wanna be careful about what their laughter and cheers are normalizing

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.” Yikes.

US public transit advocates: Don't just envy Europe. Start by envying Canada. Great piece on Montreal's remarkably cheap new rapid transit system. macleans.ca/society/mont...

I know I sound like a broken record on this and that’s OK. Montreal gets a lot right. But one of my biggest disappointments of this city’s political establishment is saying “no” to an amazing automated train for the underserved east end of the city for largely aesthetic reasons.

Toronto has some of the most used and highest frequency bus corridors on the continent. It’s crazy they don’t/can’t go all in on making buses great (dedicated lanes, stop consolidation, etc.). It’s not a city where you can even begin to pretend that “nobody rides the bus”.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

Great video by @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social on the successes of a small overlooked northern city. 4-13% bike mode-share in a decade with a goal of 25% They even have a pop density lower than St Paul! Some key takeaways ⤵️

“The average speed [of the upcoming Finch LRT] is slower than the 36 Finch bus during some periods, a rather poor showing for a rail line on its own reserved lane.”

Du rouge à lèvres sur le pare-brise. Bloquer la rue quand un vehicle bloque la piste. Déplacer les pancartes. Tout ça c'est bien. Mais le mieux: Aller au conseil de ville et talonner la mairesse pour savoir pourquoi dans ses valeurs personnelles un char vaut plus qu'une vie.

« On ne recule plus » dit le parti montréalais régressiste et de l’asphalte

The new borough mayor of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (MHM) in Montreal has declared a pause on Ruelle verte projects, which add greenery and traffic calming to alleyways.

Honnêtement, quand je vais être à Montréal, si nos élus decident intentionnellement de mettre ma vie en danger pour donner plus de droits à des chars, je ne vais pas me laisser faire. On va gentiment déplacer ces pancartes dans les rues, appeler le 311 et aller au conseil d’arrondissement.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened. This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century. A truly Black Friday.
