I’m so angry. I’m so tired of people in global positions of power and wealth hoarders upholding them. They want us to accept mass slaughter in Gaza. They want us to accept the MURDER of people who stick up to them. They want us to accept disgusting wealth gaps while we fight for scraps. Enough!!!!

Drop the names of any Canadian companies you’ve seen working with ICE in the comments. I’m aware of Gardaworld, Roshel, Hootsuite. Would love to gather any and all other names.

30 km/h for cars, trucks, suvs in a city is the reasonable approach. This mindset that speed is everything is debunked easily when you look at data. Cars are stuck in traffic and intersections most of all. No point killing the other road users.

Meraviglioso, e sorprendente! #Rome, whose drivers are somewhat…impatient…is latest city to limit traffic speeds to 30 km/h (18 mph).

Vancouver council is back in session today Which means they are once again only providing real-time updates on city business to a single website that's under investigation for child exploitation They've stubbornly defended their approach Which reaches approximately 50 people

What a speech I tell ya. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Justin we love you but as a chart enthusiast you're too smart to post charts with arbitrary start points and linear trendlines. Here's a couple we made, with the same data, that shows traffic fatalities are on the rise! But onto a more serious analysis of this 🧵

Another example of the absurdity of our system of zoning and neighbourhood control is when NIMBYs can fight and block *daycares* in neighbourhoods. A daycare within walking distance is the best thing ever.

When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States. It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

After 20 years of having the absolute worst rental vacancy rate in Canada, the return of a healthy rental market in Victoria is absolutely blowing peoples' minds right now

Canada is not immune to this epidemic level of death and injury. We will follow the US’s “lead” unless something is done.

Very interesting to read about how the catastrophic water outages happened in Calgary. It could happen to your city too. The current vancouver administration is expert at taking no decision and referring back for more study. www.sprawlcalgary.com/bearspaw-wat...

Tonight’s #UrbanismBookClub offering is “The Design Of Childhood” by @langealexandra.bsky.social. A GREAT book by an author who WON THE PULITZER PRIZE for a series of articles on the same broad subject in @opinion.bloomberg.com Citylab! Alexandra interviewed me for the book on Vancouver’s work. 6/

The concept of posting “Canada is not considering a ban of X” as a QUOTE of your post condemning deepfake sexual abuse happening **ON X** of women and kids………….

A golf course next to the Fraser River in northeast Metro Vancouver will be transformed into a public park with sport and playing fields. It is part of the City of Maple Ridge's strategy to build a new major aquatic & community centre. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/ma...

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

With everything awful & scary going on in the United States & the world, we might momentarily forget that here in Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre STILL REFUSES to apply for the normal security clearance that EVERYONE else in his position has. It’s reasonable to assume he can’t pass it.

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

The concern trolls who claim every bike lane is a threat to public safety are typically silent on this kind of stuff.

Wouldn’t you want to live close by? I know I would!

Current state of Canada’s elbows:

Canada must stand up for the principle of sovereignty now before it is our sovereignty at stake.

“The immature extremists are inexplicably ungrateful for the bold and ambitious commitments made by city leaders. By the time these kids have kids their age they may be able to use over 10% of streets in their city.”

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Forward.

After last nights protest ride with close to 100 cyclists and a herculean effort from local advocates, organizers, and sympathetic councillors, the City of Guelph has reversed course on plans to close bike lanes this winter! CTV piece here: www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

One of the things that goes against reform is education. Not education from schools but the one from corporations through constant ad campaigns. We should make car ads illegal. This would help society move past cars as the car brain would recede slowly.

It looks like Canada might actually do it this time — my confidence that we might be getting high-speed rail is over 50%. Read my latest article now: open.substack.com/pub/nextmetr...

ABC hard at work for the west side elites.

A quote from @yonahfreemark.com: "It is, frankly, demonstrative of the way that too many local and state governments treat their transit systems, which is a mechanism to move poor people around. Board members don’t see themselves as users of the system." www.startribune.com/metro-transi...

Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom. Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?” Choices. Choices are more free than car dependency. It’s not a hard concept. I’m not pitting cars against any other single mode of transport. I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

2) Clr @lucymaloney.bsky.social has a motion to ban right turns on red at high-conflict and high-danger intersections. Most of the world doesn't allow right on red, and it's one of the biggest dangers to pedestrians. Please read more here: visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/12/04/d...

“We can’t all be expected to bike.” Fair. But that’s not the point. “Not everyone can or wants to bike. But some people can & do—and they deserve a safe, efficient, affordable way to move through the city. It’s about freedom of choice.” This & other useful comebacks, in @momentummag.bsky.social.

"The City’s own data indicate that conflicts involving right-turning vehicles are among the most common types of pedestrian collisions ... If adopted, these changes would mark one of the most significant intersection-safety reforms in Vancouver in years." dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

This is an easy policy proposal to get behind.

@cbcnews.ca was there too : "A portion of the path on Lajoie Avenue in the Outremont borough, which was open last winter, will be closed off this season. [...] it’s raising concerns about whether there will be similar closures under the City of Montreal's new administration

Vols et bagarres excèdent des commerçants www.lapresse.ca/actualites/g... Cet article est vraiment intéressant et triste. La ville de Longeuil, au prise avec des jeunes qui se battent, envoie la police! La police? Ils s'emmerdent les jeunes. Il y a rien a faire quand on est ados. Ils se battent!

Imagine how scary it’d be if we didn’t know why global temperatures were rising. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What else needs to be said about painted lanes. And yet you will see, in North America, more of these created I’m sure.

You don't necessarily need traffic lights and stop signs to keep traffic moving smoothly. Especially in places with low car traffic, traffic is perfectly able to regulate itself with just a few small design elements (shark's teeth, zebra crossings).

Banning street hockey in Canada? This isn’t about protecting kids. It’s about protecting drivers from having to think about kids.
