Regarding Prime Minister Carney’s federal budget: I don’t pretend to fully know it, and there are elements that concern me, but if I were the NDP I’d pledge to support it if a significant investment in urban public transit (nation-building, climate etc) was added, and if I were PM Carney I’d agree.

Thank you to the City of Vancouver for listening to our suggestion of seeking out the opinions of transit riders! Transit riders are the most affected by bus priority improvements like bus lanes, and we should be actively consulted. As for the proposed bus lane changes on Kingsway... 1/3
