This business model is predicated on being able to walk away from any cleanup, liabilities and make that the government‘s problem. Basic vulture capitalism https://mstdn.ca/@thenarwhal/115497219950465983

Anyone in the Fedi used the Wike Salamander? Seems like a great combo solution to replace an aging stroller but I fear the ebike part will cause issues if I try to take it on public transit. #askfedi #biketooter https://wikeinc.com/en-ca/products/salamander-e-cargo-bike-stroller

My sister, who emigrated to the UK, in true British tradition, almost never turns the heat on. It's like a badge of honour to freeze. I asked her once how she stayed comfortable. She said she wears a house coat. Ladies and gentlemen, that house coat is a ankle length down parka.

I have to wonder if it’s typical practice for a road construction company to replace the manhole covers and catch basins after they have laid the first coat of asphalt or if somebody just really screwed up. #topoli

As if minimal punishments when killing or seriously injuring pedestrians or cyclists weren't bad enough, what's even more infuriating is how many cases get thrown out because of an overwhelmed court system! #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli CC @ffsafestreets.bsky.social www.thestar.com/news/gta/she...
