Follow the first link (Blind Spots) on that page and you get to this BS. Based on this, a driver can see you directly on their grill (they can not), AND directly on their bumper (they can not).

Few things are as subsidized as a driver's ability to park a car in public space in North America.

Basically we’re at state sanctioned traffic violence levels of stupidity and incompetence. Why does Transport Canada not get any attention in this whole shit show? If systemically things are this bad, where in the charter of rights and freedoms is regulating fucking cars?

Attorney General Doug Downy has a lot of stay about law and order, violent crime, tho. Siri, is it all bullshit?

Tony Blair "should be headed to The Hague, not Gaza." My latest for Zeteo, on the former British prime minister's "blood drenched" record in the Middle East: "one of repeated failures, brazen bias, and mass slaughter". Read/share/subscribe:

Well, the discussion could broaden to how the province has dumped much of this on cities...but that's a whole other conversation that likely isn't leading to anything changing any time soon? In any event, it saves money to be proactive also...🤷🏻‍♀️

Funny because the FAO did a report on the cost of infrastructure for climate adaptation & it explicitly states that cities are on the hook for 70% of the costs...I would assume it's similar for them? Unless the province of Alberta is truly in charge of maintaining costs for more infra than Ontario?

Cool that this whole thing is being done cuz the little orange blimp is mad he doesn’t have a noble peace pwize yettt

...and exceptionally disappointing

10 years ago, the TRC released its 94 calls to action. Most are unfulfilled today. Read the calls to action here: ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/u.... Review Indigenous Watchdog's status report on fulfilling those here: www.indigenouswatchdog.org/2025/03/05/t....

I see that the chair of the public works and infrastructure committee in #ottawa has principles and values and would be a loud advocate why banning right on reds is a good idea right? Even against a loud out cry from fucking babies concerned about 5 secs of travel time disruption? Yes?

I listened to part of an interview with a #calgary mayoral candidate who said that dealing with/fighting climate change is up to the province and feds… that she would immediately repeal their climate emergency declaration if elected. The ignorance and virtue signalling is astounding

An official government of #alberta event 🥰 Tone policing cowards

Given the liberals are basically conservatives at this point, it makes sense that Pierre is going to drive the truck convoy further and further into stupidity and madness

The “week without driving” challenge is great and all but I’m mystified why and how no political story frame at any level of government hasn’t started to build around the very fucking radical idea for countries obsessed with freedom… that you should be free and able to live without a car #ottawa 1/

Get a heat pump, get a job installing insulation or selling EVs, go to local council meetings in support of bike lanes or solar parks or dense housing near public transport. Run for political office, or at least vote. Recommend flight-free holiday destinations to others. (Delete as applicable).

Is this the part where private equity saddles EA with the debt? I found out recently that it’s a favourite trick culture capitalists do in these sorts of takeovers cuz of course they fucking do

This is the shit. IRL participatory civil resistance is *the* thing that every anti-Trump leader should be calling for.

Every flexipost should be a bollard. Flexiposts are just expensive virtue signalling on a municipal scale #ottawa

I’d like to see the over/under on cost: what do we spend on salaries to install/remove; damage to roads from freeze/thaw from fasteners; damage claims on vehicles; lifecycle cost/waste from ruined ones; compare to lifecycle cost for proper sep infra; quality of life/design quality.

Hahahahaha wow this is incredible. Hey plebs, you better attend a learning session on the plight of people driving $80,000 vehicles so you don’t die. This is so fundamentally broken at every level. How do you change this culture? #ottawa #ottbike ottawa.ca/en/city-hall...

The spite with which municipal leaders in #ottawa view the NCC needs to be studied. The NCC is responsible for all of the aspects of life that make this city liveable. Unless you don’t live in Ottawa and live in the parts that should be other cities

Yes obviously it is. And the decisions #ottawa makes regarding this street are centred on one metric… “and let me be clear”: Travel times for people driving. That’s it. The only thing this city cares about. Oh and parking for your busses.

A journalist asks Smith about it, Smith gives her usual bullshit replies, people fawn over what a great communicator she is, rinse and fucking repeat. What is American about politics in #canada is the level of shamelessness expanding. Smith and Ford are exemplars of this shit

NEW: Speed cameras are out, but security cameras are in. Today, Doug Ford mused about expanding the use of CCTV cameras, which recognize license plates, as part of a push to reduce the number of home invasions. #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1145603...

Says CSIS, "the sudden decline in right-wing terrorism is both more striking and harder to explain" but actually it's not; right-wing kidnappings and attacks on civilian transports have increased dramatically but aren't categorized as "terrorism" because they now occur under the aegis of the state.

A wildfireside chat?

Might this clip be the first ever recorded incident of a flex post saving someone's life, since a flex post makes big ICE mans miss his first swipe?

I’m sure they’ll receive the same scrutiny as the two Randy’s right 😂

The imperial boomerang.

It feels like the last grasping resort is for folks to start suing the shit out of municipalities for criminal negligence. Individual responsibility has not been a thing when coupled with no car regulations and urban areas designed for maximum travel times for people driving

When all that’s left to say to news about shit like this is fucking kudos for saying it was a… driver

The God of the Road is pleased with today's sacrifice.

Cycling is pretty much this dangerous anywhere in the US.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

In Klein’s conversation with Ben Shapiro, Ben mentions that what radicalized people (no mention of racism from Ben very surprisingly 🙄) was a couple moments of Obama… just speaking. Chasing the problem of condescension is a wild take on reality or what the challenges are

Many things can be said about this, but worth noting that he'd probably be locked up right now if he'd not been riding a step-through bike.

War zone for sure

When people say this, they don't mean it's ok for them or their loved ones to be killed by drivers. Just *other people* and *other people's loved ones*.

Cool that we’re striving for international amateur hour now too

Like those guys who were offended when they discovered rage against the machine were actually political songs.

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

The idea that we need people to be elected to political office cuz they “listen” is such utter bullshit. Listen to who? Like we’ve just accepted this line without any societal interrogation of it at all

Me when I feed my kid candy for dinner after I cave into his demands: This is what good parenting looks like.

Reading about what you could do in Algonquin park in the 50s (and see at places like the visitors centre) and now only being able to access places like that in cars has added to my radicalizing #ontario

Dismantling of civilization

I am naive but I can’t reckon with the moral vacuum of empty husks like Del Duca who put politics over lives. A waste of an entire career. May the thought of that wasted life fester in his head one day, if there is a nugget of morality left in him.

100% I’m convinced that political progressiveness in #canada has to come from being against all things cars. Also, Del Duca and Ford are political sides of the same coin of shamelessness that is now the central requirement for political office. Go listen to his stumping the other day. Pathetic

Two weeks later, the cycle track counter on 5 St SW in Calgary has edged two rows of LEDs closer to reaching 350k riders this year. With great weather continuing for at least the next 7 days the progress bar could max out before Thanksgiving. #yycBike #Calgary
