SHARE THE ROAD no u

Checked out @saanichbc.bsky.social great new infrastructure that is about 85% finished at Cadboro Bay/UVIC! This is one of the most cohesive and least flawed (not unflawed) projects in the Victoria core area. There are issues but they are put weight by wins here, finally!

Ah yes the old "rename it and now it's new and exciting" trick, my favourite tool in the do-nothing-to-improve-service toolkit.

The fact that the ultra-wealthy think they deserve a special bonus level of access to democratically elected leaders is one of the biggest failings of our "democracy." Get in line with everyone else.

That moment when AI would actually have probably made a better fabric pattern. And anyone who knows me, knows my views on AI. HUNDRED PERCENT

I am waiting for a single Victoria city councillor to explain why we are bickering about public service scale backs and cuts, when we could just NOT PAY THE POLICE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE EVERY YEAR. I'm waiting. Explain it. Explain why they basically get a blank cheque and we get no results.

Hey @deanmurdock.bsky.social sound familiar? Maybe we need to stop handing free legitimacy to the people spreading misinformation.

It's also the absolute piece of work politicians who have taken a disturbingly anti-indigenous stand on this, from the Mayor of Richmond spreading misinformation to BCNDP MLAs using anti-indigenous dogwhistles.

Fighting cancel culture using cancel culture: Caylan Ford really playing 1D chess over there.

“To pay for VicPD’s demands, the city is even looking at cutting a children’s book prize, and a poet laureate and youth poet laureate program that only costs $8,000 (keep in mind that VicPD spent $22,000 on a retirement party this year)” 🚨➡️ defundvicpd.org/2025/11/06/c... #yyj #DefundVicPD

Getting mad at the concept of a tiny drop-off area is not it. The alternative is drivers illegally stopping on public roads, creating traffic conflicts, endangering everyone. Do I love car-to-transit? Lol no. But it's always going to be part of our mobility system.

Remember Wall-E? "Enjoy your septuacentennial cupcake... IN A CUP!"

I am a little late to this, but I have also requested my name and face to be removed from @cyclinguk.bsky.social publicity due to the decision to remove trans women from their awards. Trans women are women, gender is on a spectrum (and I did a genetics degree), and cycling is for everyone. 🏳️‍⚧️🚲❤️

I cannot wait for this stupid shit to be done. The level of irresponsible reporting around this crisis of morons having an opinion and the food inspection agency wanting to save lives has been infuriating, and Castanet has been leading the way with horrendous "both sides" reporting.

Me to my partner: are 3 bananas enough to put in the freezer this week? Partner:

Consider the scale of damage caused by a car hitting a cyclist vs. a cyclist hitting a pedestrian. We have hundreds of kilometres of multi-use paths where, statistically, no one gets run over by bikes. Do I think bikes should be on the sidewalks? No. But it's a symptom of how unsafe roads are.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

This man has contributed literally nothing to humanity and will be the first trillionaire. There are other paths forward. Anyone who owns Tesla stock is complicit in... Gestures broadly.

Reminder that Saanich School district has already decided that AI WILL bus used by high school students starting in January.

Cargo biking, 99 years ago. Came across this in a photo archive, unfortunately with no info on who or where, just the year, 1926. But it made me think of @lauragmitchell.com and her lovely feed of her commutes to school and around town with her children.

I have let my colleagues at Global BC know that November 18 is going to be my last day with the company and as a reporter at the Legislature. I have made the decision to take my passion and try something new and I am deeply grateful to all of the viewers and to my colleagues. #bcpoli

It's important to practice the little conversations, so you can be ready for the big ones

It turns out that adopting conservative policies like climate change denial, and more funding for th military, makes your party attractive to conservatives.

Sternly worded letters will continue until fascism abates.

"Establish eye contact" have the people who made these PSAs ever tried walking at night?

In today's "let's keep fucking burning the planet to a crisp" news

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Me, watching our useless Canadian Prime Minister ballooning defense spending out of control while slashing social programs, watching New York elect a socialist promising free transit.

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.” Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

Live, Laugh, L'Oval Office

Reminder that Mark Carney is just a Conservative is isn't as bigoted as Pierre. He's still a bigot - clearly despises low SES people, shits on indigenous sovereignty, and bends over backwards to a veritable Nazi south of the border. The insane part? He's economically WORSE than the conservatives.

Trains. Ebike subsidies. Renewables. Geothermal. Transit. Passivehaus housing. Thousand-percent fines on companies violating environmental laws. Carbon taxes. Banning short-haul flights. Banning private vehicles within cities. Promoting healthier living. Taxing the living fuck out of the rich.

As far as Climate leaders go this #MarkCarney is one hell of a banker 💥Carbon Tax 💥Emission Cap 💥Planting TREES 💥Greenwashing accountability(?!?!?) ✅ MORE Pipelines ✅ MORE #FossilGas LNG ✅ BILLIONS for the BOGUS #CarbonCapture BOONDOGGLE www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/n... #cdnpoli

BlueSky banned me for 72 hours for "abusing the report function without explaining why you are reporting." 1) the only things I have reported in the last month are blatant transphobia and death threats directed at vulnerable road users 2) BlueSky straight up doesn't let you explain your report

In many respects, this is the most harmful budget from a climate perspective since the Harper era, writes Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood

To everyone who voted for this conservative prick: You get what you pay for! Or rather, you get what big oil pays for. We have money for pipelines for corporations but no money to keep public services running.

Good. Why are Canadians still visiting a fascist country?

This is a reminder that the people of LA may have just experienced the joy of watching their team win the World Series, but they are still living under a brutal authoritarian regime.

The anti choice folks are buying BC Transit bus ads which run during the school year and on school specials. They've bought these ads through May 2026. Gross! #Kamloops #Thompson #SD73

Well that was anticlimactic. Back to not giving a rat's arse about baseball. It's been a slice y'all

Cargo bikes ARE single use. That’s why I buy mine in twenty-four-packs at Costco. I just wish they’d make them of compostable materials.

Parents of young kids - please be careful trick or treating tonight I found this Dodge RAM 1500 hidden inside a Snickers bar last year Unlike razor blades or Fentanyl massive trucks like this actually do injure or kill a significant number of kids on Halloween

My kids this morning: “daaaad, it is November first, it is time” Me: “No Mariah until after after Remembrance Day”

Anyone in Victoria want some chocolate? Bought like $140 worth of large chocolate bars and then a measly 27 kids came to our door last night. Last 10 kids got three full-sized bars each, we still have a shopping bag full of chocolate bars. Help. This is not a healthy thing to have easy access to.

My column today, on how police departments' car-first attitude makes them say the darnedest things. Like "leave your e-bike at home."
