Two studies: One, very local, counts the bikes and cars on Bloor Street in Toronto and finds there are more bikes than cars. The other, very international, finds that bike lanes improve health, reduce pollution and fight climate change. Why would anyone would rip them out?

Just kept a scammer on the phone for 25 mins who was using legit energy incentive programs to scam me. I despise scammers 1) taking advantage of vulnerable people and 2) using energy rebates meant to reduce climate impacts to do so. Anyone else have this experience?

Had a beautiful National Indigenous People's Day at the Na Ma Res pow wow. Good to remind myself of treaty obligations as a settler on this land.

The horror of Gaza is overwhelming and deeply disturbing. Who is best to donate to and where are folks taking action most effectively?

The Canada Pension Plan quietly backed away from its net-zero commitments in its annual report, tabled today. Reporting by @dariussnieckus.bsky.social

All eyes are federal today but then...there's this: www.blogto.com/city/2025/04...

Celebrated Earth Day a bit early by voting with climate and environment top of mind (thanks @benwest.bsky.social for the rad hat). Read about @cape-acme.bsky.social's essential election priorities here: cape.ca/health-envir... and vote!

As an advocate for bikes and commuter cyclist for 20 years, as well as having new access to a vehicle, I found this @torontolifemag.bsky.social article balanced and insightful about the battle over bike lanes: torontolife.com/deep-dives/d...

Happy #blackhistorymonth! I'd like to brag about my friend Camara Chambers, who founded Lets Hike T.O., dedicated to diversifying the hiking community by providing safe, accessible, and enjoyable hiking experiences for everyone. Check them out here: www.letshiketo.ca/about

I donated $100 to help @cycletoronto.bsky.social with their brave and important legal challenge of Ontario's Bill 212, which, among other things, will rip out bike lanes in Toronto. Still making end of year charitable gifts? I encourage you to donate: www.cycleto.ca/donate

Everything is fiiiine, don't worry. It's all fine. The climate is just having a moment, but it's no big deal, man. www.cbc.ca/news/science...
