Cities are trying to reduce their dependency on vehicles driven by humans (or robots) @josephpolitano.bsky.social The safest streets for vulnerable road users are streets that prioritize the safety of people over the convenience of motor vehicles. The data 100 times over tells us that truth.

For those surprised by the president’s actions.. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are." #MayaAngelou

Parenting is hard when racists are given megaphones and are then amplified by followers that excuse the racism as part of the ‘package’ of getting lower taxes or some bullshit. And I say that with a 17 & 14 y/o. I can’t fully explain the chill when they ask, “will it be worse when we get older?” 🤯💔😞

Also drivers!

Toronto needs to grow a spine and do something to get cars off the shuttle bus routes during subway closures

Drivers! What else can you say? toronto.citynews.ca/2026/02/03/v...

Umm Toronto! Can we do a sit down with @mayor.nyc.gov's team and figure out how to support and protect our gig workers within #BikeTO?

Hi @toronto.ca 311 isn’t here in @bsky.app so I left this message on the other site for your folks. Cc: @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social @ffsafestreets.bsky.social #NotSafe4BikesTO #BikeTO

Currently waiting on my Amtrak departure, which is delayed because of "frozen equipment"...but I'm going to get there some kind of way!

The federal government should be much *more* aggressive with Toronto. It is the place in Canada that most badly needs and could best deliver more housing.

“The Fleece will be Released” via #TheProvinceOfCanada #HeatedRivalry #EastEndLove

Please enjoy my cartoon for Friday's Toronto Star

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Just checked the long term forecast and it's not going above 0 Celsius any time in the next two weeks. So it's a good thing the city bought some snow collectors and melters after last year's storm experience. #dlws
