Slow-walking bus lanes? Although the City of Vancouver has promised to expand bus priority across the city, twice, these projects are getting scaled back and delayed. Promised back in 2023, deadlines are now being shifted into the unspecified future. Read the full article.

I rarely weigh in on these now but just as a reminder: We shame kids to be perfect despite already knowing that they are predictably NOT, that being said just look at the environment that we continually build for them to exist in.

Vancouver council is back in session today Which means they are once again only providing real-time updates on city business to a single website that's under investigation for child exploitation They've stubbornly defended their approach Which reaches approximately 50 people

I am honoured to announce I’ve been appointed as a member to the Order of Canada. Thank you to everyone for the support! I dedicate this to my late Mom who taught me so much about history, local independent media & research. I know that she would be, like me, screaming with joy! #orderofcanada

courage

Subplots: - evidence doesn’t reach police because it’s sent as the boat enters an area with no reception and blanc doesn’t know about no wifi - someone’s alibi about having a Phillips soda falls apart because blanc finds out none of the vending machines work - someone stays below deck to nap

Knives Out but the murder happens on a BC Ferry that Benoit Blanc is already on and the boat can’t dock until he solves the crime In this scenario some people are headed to a retreat on a Gulf Island, there’s a high school sports team on board, and the car alarms never stop

Watching the best Christmas movie. 🎥 🍿 Brazil !

Natural gas IS methane. I don't understand today's breathless discussion in the media about the Canadian government "reducing methane emissions" without discussion of the natural gas industry too.

Forward.

Just give me a world where we can walk/roll to most things. That’s it.

Watching Vancouver vs Miami MLS on AppleTV live is a super Saturday soccer ⚽️

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

If an electric charge can’t charge is it still an electric car? 🤔 ⚡️ 🚗

I spent all day arguing with people from Squamish that oil and gas companies aren't your friends, and are not good for communities. unbelievable that it even needs to be said, given the evidence

Wednesday.

Fog on the Fraser. Wednesday.

It’s shocking how many people forget this.

Enough. Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver. Was really incredible to work with the people at @visionzerovancouver.ca to bring this to life.

FYI for BC residents, if you want a COVID booster/flu shot, I was able to search in my emails for a previous "Book your next vaccine appointment" from a previous year and click on the link and it just let me schedule my covid vaccine.

This is wild. Dozens of nurses and other healthcare workers had their personal information stolen in a data breach from their employer. But the publicly run Interior Health Authority in B.C denied it for 10 years, even as crimes were being committed using their info www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wow! Montreal’s public bike share system (BIXI) was featured in the TIME Best Inventions Hall of Fame for 2008, not far from the iPhone and Google Street View. While not the very first bike sharing system, it was one of the earliest and it was the model for many other systems, from NYC to London.

Does anyone know of a RELIABLE tool for screen recording long sessions on macOS? I've been burned a ton of times by tools which seem great... and then they crash and lose the whole recording, or it turns out the audio wasn't recorded properly

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

This video is a long time coming. People always ask me: what makes Montreal so ambitious on urbanism? (At least for bikes and pedestrians.) I've been thinking through this and asking Montrealers, and in this video I want to cover *part* of the answer.

A very excellent video explaining Montreal’s borough system as it relates to a possible reason why this city has the best bike and pedestrian friendly streets in North America. Many courageous people working together have transformed this city over the years. I’ve seen them do it. It’s awesome.

“Expanding the average car length from 5 meters (16.4 ft) to 5.5 meters (18 ft) decreases street parking spots by 9.3%, while an additional expansion to 6m (19.7 ft) causes a further loss of 7%…the growing share of larger vehicles has caused many on-street parking spots to effectively disappear.”

Canada Post is a service. Like other govt or quasi-govt services, it is not supposed to turn a profit. It needs to be efficient, but so do healthcare, the military, food inspection, schools, and other govt services. We subsidize it because people, businesses & remote communities rely on it. #cdnpoli

Siri is always going to be better "next year." Fifteen years later it pretty clearly hasn't improved much.

For those who wonder what a modern postal service could look like, one example is in France, where letter carriers provide check-ins on the elderly for very affordable rates, while completing their routes. I encourage everyone to read the whole thing #CanadaPost www.newyorker.com/culture/anna...

Shared Responsibility. @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

What's the worst intersection in Metro Vancouver, and why is it Main & East 7th & Kingsway? More importantly: how would you redesign it? My take: like all of Kingsway, it should have protected bike lanes. Also let's make it transit only between Main St and Broadway. And allow pedestrians to cross.

We started with 32, nominated by you. We're down to TWO intersections in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver finals! Main & 7th & Kingsway? Or No. 3 Rd & Sea Island Way & Bridgeport Rd? Only one can emerge victorious. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/23/w...

This is the 14th road fatality in Vancouver this year and the 10th pedestrian killed, not including another 11 at Lapu Lapu. Our leaders are letting us down. There are 41 crashes per year at this intersection, the 4th worst along Victoria Drive. (1/4). vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/18/d...

Best way to see a new town. Go for a bike ride.

seabus memes has gone too far

riding around singing do-re-mi in the midst of a devastating 24hr news cycle, a polarized world and a planet on fire is quite the vibe. 🙃
