I am disgusted that we are only 13 days away from the first anniversary of the #EtobicokeCreekTrail being destroyed by flooding, and the #GTAA has still not made repairs to this key cycling corridor #BikeMississauga #BikeBrampton

Beautiful new #BikeMississauga bidirectional, and unidirectional raised cycle tracks, with separated sidewalk on Rathburn Road, connecting the Etobicoke Creek Trail and the hydro corridor, and continuing west #BikeBrampton #ActiveTransportation #EtobicokeCreekTrail

You could be a flashing neon light and it won't help you when the driver makes a right turn on red while looking left, runs a red, makes a bad lane change, etc. I assume - I assume that everybody out there may do something stupid that could result in my death or injury, and I act accordingly.

Striking how easily you can get millions of people to vote for a boot on their own face just by lying to them about the boot going on someone else's face.
