Speed bumps are trash. Larger vehicles (you know, the most dangerous ones) can simply ride over them at speed. Terrible solution.

"So why the allergic reaction to accountability? The complaints are excuses. People don’t like getting caught breaking rules they want to break. The critics of cameras are the violators and why should we listen to the people who are making the roads less safe" www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

I think my “junk mail” filter is broken since all of my most urgent and important emails are going there…

If drivers had to directly pay the full cost of driving, I believe 90% of people would never or rarely drive again.

In case the Premier of a major province requires a refresher on why going “10 over” is actually a big deal.

Now picture this with those 30-40 cyclists driving 30-40 cars instead. The geometry of motor vehicles is incompatible with city streets.

Just started the school drop off thing (by bike of course) with my oldest entering JK. I am truly shocked by the aggressiveness of drivers in schools zones, who often seem to be parents of kids at the school themselves (most often driving minivans). Cars seem to break people’s brains.

perspective

My oldest starts kindergarten this week. The bike ride is 4 minutes, door-to-door. You won’t see me waiting in a pickup line of cars!

Will a ticket prevent sidewalk riding? Unlikely. Provide a safe alternative instead. Don’t address the symptom, address the cause.

Interesting article! While I of course welcomed the decision, I was a bit worried about it being overturned. This article nicely explains its rationale, and it seems like it will probably stand.

J’ai passé de très bonnes vacances au Québec pendant les dix derniers jours. J’ai visité Montréal en route vers Magog, où j’ai séjourné pendant une semaine. C’est bien mieux de voyager au Canada qu’aux États-Unis !

Admin: Please come back to work in the office! Also Admin: To save energy, we’ve set your office temperature to 28 degrees Celsius. Honestly, I prefer to work in the office but I generally don’t if it’s hot out. Annoying!

There is no reason to have billionaires. Don’t remember where I read this, but it’s a good suggestion: Once someone attains $1B, give them a trophy that says they won capitalism and then tax them 100% on future earnings. Maybe this would encourage more philanthropy and less yachts.

If we didn't have e-bikes, my wife and I would have a second car (which would be parked on the street 23/7). You'd think other drivers would appreciate this!

I don’t know how, but somehow it took me nearly 40 years to realize how essential it is to own an apron and a tool belt.

People negotiating with Trump need to understand that, whatever game they are trying to play, Trump is playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Heat pumps.

I think this rather misses the point. Canadians are not boycotting the United States because they expect to crash its economy, though some might relish the idea, but because they don’t want to support or frankly have anything to do with the US under Trump macdonaldlaurier.ca/how-much-did...

Very unsurprising “news” www.ctvnews.ca/london/artic...

Logged off for the day and apparently came back to an LLM becoming a Nazi. Ffs.

Tesla is getting super desperate. No thanks!

In case you were wondering how long we’ve known that mobility in cities is fundamentally a space problem, this was from Wichita Falls, Texas in 1927. The streetcar was electric. And they would need more cars today because of fewer average people in each car. HT Peter Norton

My hometown sucks.

“The Cycling Lobby”… also known as ordinary citizens who like to get around on a bike without getting killed by a driver.

I often wonder when a driver does something dangerous around me… Would they care that I have two young kids? Would they care that I have grad students that depend on me? Would they care that I teach hundreds of young adults about engineering? Or is saving that few seconds more important?

Au revoir ! Bonne chance comme le 51e État !

It is impressive how much more money the conservatives spend than all the other parties, and still can’t win. Their platform is just that bad.

I don’t always campaign on the taxpayers’ dime full-time for three years and still lose the election, but when I do, I lose my own seat in Parliament too.

Vote! 🗳️

And this almost meaningless tax cut will result in billions of dollars in forgone tax revenues. These clowns claim to be good with finances but they don’t seem to understand basic cash flow.

Despite having a huge advantage in fundraising, having basically every media outlet on their side, and trying desperately to manipulate votes on social media, Canadians are still mostly saying “no thanks” to what the Conservatives have to offer. Really shows what absolute garbage their platform is.

I agree. Whoever loses will accept that defeat. However, a bunch of losers are going to claim the election was rigged. Please, let’s not amplify any of those ridiculous lies.

London Ontario bike lanes. Full of debris, grass growing over it, and yes, there is a bus shelter *in* the bike lane.

We should rename it the “Privilege Convoy”

People show up with F*ck Carney flags and someone flips them the 🐦. And we are all up in arms about the second guy? Ok. lfpress.com/news/local-n...

I don’t think this can possibly help Poilievre. People still don’t like Harper. He’s still creepy and awkward. He still has the hair of a Lego man.

Take your time, Judge. Maybe even consider until the end of this construction season, just to be thorough.

Personally, I am actually not terribly comfortable with Poilievre being in charge of a lemonade stand.

This is very likely to be accurate. Conservatives always fail to deliver on their promises to reduce debt, because they cut revenues faster than they cut programs.

It’s fascinating how people suddenly become environmentalists when an “undesirable” piece of critical infrastructure needs to be built near where they live. By the way, I grew up living around 250 m from a WWTP and only rarely noticed an odour. www.ctvnews.ca/windsor/arti...

Let me make this perfectly clear. We had a costed plan ready a year ago. When Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister. And now our costed plan has mysteriously disappeared from my office - days before the election. And now Justin Trudeau is nowhere to be found. I think the math is very simple here.

Carney ripping Poilievre's priorities with a fantastic zinger on plastic straws "thank god". Great sound bite. #cdnpoli

Just finished watching this - highly recommended! Mark Carney comes across as genuine and just extremely knowledgeable on matters of the economy.

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

One of the biggest reasons I support Carney is that he will bring trust and stability into government operations. No massive and chaotic cuts to programs, no overriding of charter rights, no unnecessary culture wars. He’ll just be normal and govern properly.

How fancy, Guelph. I see you still have non-legislated advisory committees, unlike London.
