There have been 6 recent crashes involving cyclists and pedestrians, 4 of them fatal, along this same stretch of Lougheed Hwy. Yesterday, another pedestrian was killed. We call on Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows to stop prioritizing the comfort of drivers over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

“Canada, one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners, was not able to reach a deal with the White House, who instead raised tariffs on some Canadian goods.” This should say that the lying, bullying US President was unable to strong-arm Canada into agreeing to a bad deal & so Americans will pay more.

New housing is expensive and not affordable to the poor. But the people who can afford to live in the new building don't keep their old home; they vacate it, which allows someone else to move in. That in turn vacates an affordable home. The affordability benefits of new housing are indirect.

Todays’s budget will include the removal of the bike lanes on Queen’s Park Crescent. Ford’s own documents say tearing up bike lanes in Toronto won’t reduce congestion. At a time when U.S. tariffs threaten jobs and the housing crisis is exploding, this is Ford's priority? #ONpoli #TOpoli

Very informative discussion about how tariffs will affect bikes in the US. Already it’s quite hard to get certain bike models here. www.renehersecycles.com/bikes-in-the...

Canada is strongest when we are united. That means creating one Canadian economy, instead of thirteen. Today, I’m sharing my plan to build that, together: markcarney.ca/media/2025/03/unite-canadian-economies

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

I use this lane all the time! Makes connecting from/to Caltrain a breeze.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake web.archive.org/web/20231206...

I wrote a post about my year car-free in the Bay Area enabled by @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social and I talk about some of the highs and lows of the year. open.substack.com/pub/baybybro... Let me know what you think!

Any EV rebate for Californians should also count towards e-bikes or allow residents to direct their rebate's worth of funding to the transit agency of their choice. Some people's EV is transit like @sfbart.bsky.social VTA, @rideact.bsky.social @gocaltrain.bsky.social www.latimes.com/environment/...

The Ontario government wants to remove bike lanes in Toronto. The city's shopkeepers are protesting, explaining that the lanes have been good for their business and providing figures to support their claims. Extract from a Toronto City News report with French STà. (HT @emmanuelspv.bsky.social)
