Murders.

I don't get close, high-speed passes because I take the lane.

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change. Streets for people are good for business.

On this day in 1996, Bill Clennett confronted Prime Minister Jean Chretien during a National Flag of Canada Day commemoration, leading to what is now known as The Shawinigan Handshake Learn more in my Deep Dive buff.ly/Y6BCowG

On this day in 1954, the United States and Canada agreed to jointly build a new line of radar stations in the High Arctic. This became known as the Distant Early Warning Line. It ran along the 69th parallel north. The DEW Line was gradually deactivated from 1988 to 1993.

On this day in 1982, the Ocean Ranger oil platform sank in the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in a storm, taking the lives of all 84 onboard. In 1983, due to concerns over the danger the wreck posed to shipping, it was towed to deeper waters, leading to the deaths of three divers.

Today is the anniversary of when the Canadian flag flew for the first time at Parliament Hill in 1965. From September to October 1964, the Special Flag Committee reviewed 3,541 flag entries from Canadians. Here are just a few of the rejected designs. 🧵 1/12

This story is appalling. From this detail... "The annual $31 million savings amounts to about one & a half times what the government spent on ads about how it was “building a better health care system" ...to patients dying in pain to, um, SickKids trying to run cover for the Ford govt. #OnPoli

Streaming Canadian women playing Germany? You're being bombarded with these bullshit "Protect Ontario" ads. There's no useful or actionable information in them. They're pure Doug Ford propaganda, and you are paying for them. Oh, and the spend can't be reviewed by the Auditor General. #onpoli

This is my kids’ commute to school 😍 Lots of work to be done at either end to make it safer for them, but it’s an amazing to have that 5-10 mins of nature every morning.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just admitted the Epstein files were blocked by Trump: “He fought the hardest to STOP these files from being released.”

To: Pierre From: Canada 🇨🇦 If support’s slipping, it’s not CBC. Canadians are tired of Maple-MAGA politics, slogans over substance, and Trump-style grievance tours. When journalists ask questions, that’s not bias. That’s accountability. CBC matters.

Happy ❤️ Day to my bikee friends! #bikesky #ebikes #cargobikes #❤️

This should be one of the biggest land-use planning controversies in United States history. And that’s saying something.

One thing I realized this week is that I am not qualified to work for Donald Trump since I have never snorted cocaine off a toilet seat, killed my puppy, or excused child sex trafficking because the stock market’s bullish.

“While rivals like Target and Walmart have moved to scale back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in response to political and legal pressure from Washington, Costco has largely held its course—and its business is thriving.” Via @fortune.com fortune.com/2026/02/13/c...

“We’re all focussed on the wrong 1%.” — @jamestalarico.bsky.social Watch this, and follow this guy’s campaign. It’s really important.

Bluesky is THE platform for science. It’s also THE platform for city-building and urbanism.

There's been a lot of discussion about how white supremacy, racism, and Christian nationalism are driving this administration's policies, but I think it has been under-discussed in the mainstream just how much eugenics has been a factor. A lot of disabled folks have been yelling about it though.

As the US doubles down on fossil fuels and blocks wind & solar installations, its emissions are ticking up. In contrast, China's emissions appear to have peaked. In the last 2 yrs, they installed more new solar energy each year than the U.S. has in its entire history. More from @carbonbrief.org:

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

I’ve been thinking about Canada’s intention to become more economically independent from the United States, and to connect more with Europe. We should do the same thing with our city-building. Our city-building has always been too influenced by the U.S, especially with car dependency. Thoughts?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

For 1/2 a TRILLION dollars DEBT, Ontario gets: Broken Healthcare. Broken Housing. Broken Education. Broken Social welfare. BUT we get a SPA! 😒🤦‍♀️ #FordBrokeOntario #onpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/13/a...

"Children getting in the way of parents driving their kids to school - City looks to ban walking/biking"

Suck it, drivers.

Watched a man load his toddler into an SUV this morning at the pediatrician and as he was driving out of the parking lot, he had one hand on the wheel and the other scrolling his phone. This has to stop by any means necessary.

Armpit fear sweat 😥 "The 13-time OHL champions are having a season to forget about, picking up just 12 wins through their first 51 games. They are dead last in the league with 27 points, while the Erie Otters are the closest team in striking distance with 36."

WHEN THEY TELL US WHO THEY ARE, BELIEVE THEM!

A prime example of car brain is how our leaders spend so much time fretting over the effects of lost parking on businesses, when they should really be considering how designing streets for people will actually help those businesses thrive. Not to mention the safety and quality of life benefits.

That's because they are impossible

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

Despite 98% of public opposing, Doug Ford's PC Government approved the transfer of the world's longest freshwater beach from Ontario Parks oversight to the Town of Wasaga. #WasagaBeach #cdnpoli #Canada 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky #onpoli #Ontario #DougFordFailedOntario #FireDougFord

Ford’s crony supervisors earn way more than all of your School Board Trustees do combined, all while doing way less! Supervisors make $350K, over 10x what an individual Trustee earns. #topoli #onpoli #onted
