This weekend I was in Kelowna BC and somehow ended up in South Pandosy. This neighborhood looks so good that it reminded me of some neighborhoods in Stockholm and Malmo. I hope this catches on in Canada. Somehow I forgot to take a picture 😅

As @acoyne.bsky.social writes in The Globe and Mail, minority governments often deliver more legitimate, negotiated outcomes. So why do we keep producing false majority governments with less than 40% of the vote? Proportional representation would make cooperation the norm.

@pinkythumb.bsky.social yo, I had so much joy watching your video about our city's transit. I wish more people in KW realized how good we have it so that we can continue building on top of it. youtu.be/XsUnaTH65qU?...

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, I humbly offer One Weird Trick for building sovereign AI capabilities

The city of Kitchener did an amazing job cleaning up the bike lanes today after getting about 10cm of snow last night. I was ready for a treacherous ride, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't have to dismount once :)

Very informative summary of 2025 climate news by @simonoxfphys.com youtu.be/fsah3Z2pC6Q?... There's hope

I just signed this official petition for Electoral Reform www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Happy to be taking the first ever weekend GO train from Kitchener to Toronto!

Canada keeps getting budgets shaped by governments that win less than half the vote. When whole regions are shut out, national priorities get skewed. Proportional representation means every region and every voter would help drive the budget, not only areas with a government MP.

If @morricemike.bsky.social had gotten his seat, the Green Party would be in such a great position to negotiate right now 🥲 @elizabethemay.bsky.social is doing a great job nonetheless

Mr. @mark-carney.bsky.social, the people of Canada yearn for rapidly implemented nation-building high speed rail, will you hear us?

I updated the blog post with a picture I took yesterday. Notice how bike rack design matters cyclewr.ca/2025/07/08/g...

Planning a trip to Montreal this month... It's so sad that choosing a train is almost 4 times more expensive (for 2 people), compared to driving (including parking) 😭

I wrote a blog post 😃

Glad to see a feature built by the team in Waterloo is getting good press :) www.theverge.com/news/691718/...

I gotta say... I won't miss having to craft bash one-liners to achieve simple things... I can just ask Gemini in a couple of sentences g.co/gemini/share...

"Public transit won’t solve every problem overnight, but it’s a powerful tool for building a region that works better for everyone. For me, it’s made life simpler, more affordable, and more grounded. And for the Waterloo Region, it’s part of a cleaner, smarter, and more connected future." #WatReg

Tell the city of Kitchener that you want them in BlueSky! www.engagewr.ca/digitalkitch... (Although, there is a bug in the survey, which I just reported, maybe wait to see if they fix it)

@sanposhiho.bsky.social wrote this great article about his experience contributing to @kubernetes.io sanposhiho.com/posts/sig-sc... I am really happy to have collaborated with him throughout this journey

Join a fun-filled evening as we take over the streets of downtown Kitchener with colour, community, and celebration! This casual ride will start at Kitchener Market on Wed, Jun 11th 🕐 7:00pm- 8:30pm. Hosted by the City of Kitchener and Spectrum and Camino Well-Being.

On my recent trip to Scandinavia I tried to use everything but a car. I got to be on intercity trains, metros, buses, trams, ferries, a bike, an e-bike and a kayak. I also walked many tens of kilometers. I had to take one cab to the airport, because transit didn't run at 4am 🥲 But it was electric.

The amount of bike lanes (and cyclists) I'm finding in Malmo and Stockholm is astonishing. Don't tell me these aren't winter cities.

Told ya ⤵️ While the federal govt & cities across #Canada are making strides on expanding the housing supply, the provinces still need to get serious about building quality homes, a new report released #Provincial govts bottlenecking homebuilding, ‘report card’ says www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

I just stumbled upon this documentary about Pat Brown, the founder of Impossible Foods. Truly inspiring person. youtu.be/HkZe6HeIbkE?... #agriculture #climate

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

How are we going to build, baby, build? @mark-carney.bsky.social

The pedestrian/cycling bridge is up on Google Maps now :) #kitchener

I was pretty happy with the newly chosen Pope and then this shows up 😥 m.jpost.com/internationa...

Congratulations to the world's Catholics on the election of their new pope, a Cardinal from Chicago Robert Prevost who served for decades in Peru.

This would be wonderful! Thanks @tritag.ca for advocating for these changes!

"Now with a woman doing 9b+, it means we are closing the gap between men and women. This proves we women can climb as hard as men." Brooke and Janja are so inspiring. It would be awesome to see a combined comp.

Bring it on!

Between transition meetings these last few days, I’ve been responding to requests to share about the impact of Monday’s election with national and local media. Find the CityNews Kitchener article and CBC Radio 1’s As It Happens episode here: linktr.ee/morricemike

My dear @morricemike.bsky.social - you have been a beacon for so many. Not only in #KitchenerCentre, but across Canada. You are a community champion who exemplifies kindness, empathy and a passion to serve the public. Thank you for your leadership on so many issues...

I hope @mark-carney.bsky.social can see that we won't be able to have a Liberal government ~forever The best way to keep their Liberal base represented once a different party inevitably wins? Proportional representation.

Just a simple post to thank @morricemike.bsky.social for having been a fantastic, hard-working, engaged, and empathetic MP and candidate. It’s a huge loss for Kitchener Centre. I’m sure there will be other opportunities for community leadership and I, for one, will continue to be a big supporter!

Go Mike!

This is a great milestone for green energy! cleantechnica.com/2025/04/19/f...

Great to see car enthusiasts raising awareness of the dangers of today's trucks. Be safe out there! youtube.com/watch?v=I-Hq...

Join KPL's Book&Bike on Wednesday 16th at 6PM for a beginner friendly ride loop from the Central Library, with time to socialize and discuss your latest reads 📚🚴 kpl.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=157...

TBH, it's kind of easy to canvas for @morricemike.bsky.social. As soon as people hear his name, they're ready to express their support. l'm so glad to live in Kitchener Centre 💚

Brooke Raboutou has made history in rock climbing, being the first female to climb the second highest grade that currently exists. What a great sportswoman! I'm excited for the future of climbing youtu.be/2rk78RAY4xg?...

Absolutely bananas! The City of Ottawa's draft zoning bylaw has height limits that are lower inside the City's greenbelt than outside. In other words, the neighbourhoods where density would be the most helpful have the most restrictions. Read here: ottawacitizen.com/op...

The vote in Kitchener Centre is Green 🟢

Let's do it! 👷‍♀️👷
