Not the first bike roundabout, but I'd love to see some research into how well they work, remove conflicts, etc

This is a really interesting case if muni liability with who-knows what sorts of side effects based on how it gets decided

Ugh. This failure is 100% on our public health leadership & politicians for failing to confront anti-vaxxers & their lies during the pandemic

QR codes are a security nightmare & should not be used

David Horsey, Seattle Times

DULF did what safe supply should've been. So of course they got punished for it (And before you come at me with "drugs are bad" garbage, alcohol is fully legal, gov makes lots of money on it & it ruins lives, including direct family members of mine)

What's striking is those are bridges vs streets. Bridges usually have big traffic due to being pinch points. Streets have alternatives

Oak Bay mayor Kevin Murdoch says he hasn’t decided to seek a third term as mayor. “My focus now is on advancing key initiatives.” We have a team of reporters and researchers trying to figure out what those initiatives are. So far, nothing. But stay tuned.

But how could this bus possibly be delayed? There's no bike lanes into sight.

This is a good decision, but as a former non-profit board member, turning down that kind of money must have sucked

Our governments & their functions have been under relentless RW attack almost my entire life. Leftists need to defend & celebrate it more, especially boring & expensive stuff like sewage. And why a sewage district needs comms people - to tell these stories

last month, we spent 4 hours with Chad’s night crew. it was worth every minute. here is just 6 of them. give it a watch—because keeping watch is exactly what these crews do every single day for all of us after dark.

Charging for parking at hospitals sucks. But free parking is just so much worse (BC went to back to charging for parking in many urban hospitals because of this)

This is a hard but fair point. A lot of people are dunking on Anna but reality is sometimes volunteer programs can do more harm (especially if they prevent/replace government action)

OMG this article is bad. Quotes a single person who says "Yep, Canada Post can be replaced by email". How about actually talking to people for whom mail is still an essential service @thetyee.ca ?

HEY BURNABY, NEW WEST AND TRICITIES!!!!! My former colleagues have launched a non-profit, co-op community news outlet! These four are real pros and have been wonderful mentors to me. Can’t wait to see where this goes. Read and share 🗞️🗞️🗞️ www.freshetnews.ca

When people warn about the privacy and security risks of mandating digital age verification, this is exactly what they mean. It’s not hypothetical www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is a staggering read and the parallels to Rob Ford are obvious (I'd actually argue Ford was a more successful mayor, and certainly more popular)

Here's Hansard's draft transcript of the exchange www.leg.bc.ca/hansard-cont...

This makes me feel crazy. Being aware of the speed limit is like step 1 for driving! "Stealing is illegal, sure, but how are people supposed to know which stores they can steal from without getting caught if the camera ones don't have giant 'NO STEALING' signs??" www.thestar.com/news/gta/20-...

Imagine failing to understand your mission this badly. Seriously, coding a social media site is trivial. Moderating is not & here's hoping they don't keep failing here

I get a lot of stuff wrong but my early call on all of this was that it's simply wrong to engage in this as an argument over congestion policy. I said on the podcast that it is, instead, an argument over who has the right to public space — and the Premier has decided the allocation.

I didn't think I could hate Excel more, but here we are

Keeping increasingly nuts suburban voters out of city politics must be a core goal of urbanists in the next decade

184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time. This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.

Just started on statins, so was at pharmacy. Man ahead of me, pensioner w walker, was paying over $250 per two weeks for some medication. Why the hell isn't that just silently being covered?

I’m more convinced than ever that our social safety net should be more robust and have a lot less friction. What kind of evil are we that we expect mountains of forms and “proof” of need in an already stressful situation? It’s really fucking gross.

Pattern matching machines finds society racist, sexist and classist. Shocked. Truly shocked (not)

Staggering how bad land use is around a lot of US rail lines

Absolutely beyond parody. @thebeaverton.com couldn't do better

Cool, but that's not how humans work. They're going to take the easy (wrong) answer because they machine gave it to them. We need to fix LLMs/AI, not the humans

So that's two raised middle fingers NO. Fascinating to see what happens next

It is staggering how much money we pour into highways without even thinking. This highway, BC 8, sees ~5,000 cars/day. There is zero costing available, but tens of millions at least. Cost per user? Who knows, but way more expensive than any bike lane in the city

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

I mean, NY Post isn't ALL wrong - there are people openly drinking on the street

There's a reason why provinces stepping all over munis zoning isn't getting that much pushback - because councils make terrible decisions all the time

Dieu, je vois ce que tu as fait pour les autres... 🙏

Agree, but surprised this story doesn't mention the Alberta Wage and Salary Survey, which used to be done every 2 years and does what is says on the tin (disclosure: I worked on most of the last few rounds at my day job)

Unclear if the folks who think other people's basic civil rights are "too divisive" are aware that they're basically acting like German Christians during the Third Reich. (Note for those unclear on their history: this means they are playing out the "First they came for" poem.)

Anytime NYC DOT cancels a bike lane from now, on the 1st question out of reporters should be "How much did you get bribed?"

Yeah, but this is bad actually

Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver. So happy to have worked with the amazing people @visionzerovancouver.ca visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/08/02/d...

PfB used to similarly rank Victoria very low due to our default 50 km/h speed limit, but we leapt up due to lowering those limits (which hasn't fully taken place). Is a major problem with these rankings - they don't capture shared space well

Bottom line is that anti trans politics is part of fascist politics and you can’t fight fascism by taking on and surrendering to its ideas

That. Is. The. Point. Of . A. Strike 🤦🏻‍♀️ Carney said. "So … we are in a situation where literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians and visitors to our countries are being disrupted by this action." www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

People love raised bike lanes. But they usually suck in practice because drivers suck. Only way to stop them is more concrete in the way
