It’s impossible to imagine any Canadian mayors with this sort of citizen-lead initiative. Such a contrast to Lastman declaring War on Show and calling army. 🙄

Something tells me this Carney moment isn't going to go as viral as the last one..... www.desmog.com/2026/02/25/c...

In the NYT Magazine: Over 4 years, a dozen of my daughter’s current and former teammates (including my child) ruptured a combined 19 ACLs. Knee injuries have become a global crisis for teen girls. Yet we’ve known for 25 years how to reduce ACL tears. What went wrong? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/m...

This story of a father being starved in a moldy cell because he had 1 Xanax tablet in the back seat of his car when he was 17 is, obviously, unconscionable. I think it's ALSO worth noting there are thousands of cases just like him whose stories aren't being told because they aren't white Canadians

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Humans like you and me making building blocks with lime and rapidly renewable material, hemp in our workshop. The mixture can be 'climate neutral' if you avoid cement.

I think this is our most fun video so far, and still informative, no?

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

off-topic but the idea that vehicle efficiency "scales linearly with weight" except bikes, which are magical levels of efficiency

more evidence for the "people who buy 'luxury' apartments don't also keep their old ones" theory of housing

NIMBYing concentration camps is good.

that is crazy. almost double the speed limit. in my state in Australia 40km over limit is instant 6 months suspension.

Okay NOW when do they kiss

I promise you, bike racing is not like this

This one hits hard.

HE DID IT AGAIN ANOTHER BREAKAWAY ON THE HILL 50KM INTO THE RACE AFTER TWO HOURS OF SKIING 6-FOR-6 AT THESE OLYMPICS FOR KLÆBO! NEVER DONE BEFORE THE GØÅT!

Normalizing traffic deaths by VMT is like reporting 'shooting death per gun.'

He’s the one who likes all our pretty bongs

I would like to see our GDP go down* *build cheaper roads rated for bikes, buy less cars and have more fun biking around here instead of buying flights to Europe to do the same

Explainer: The current 'budget' to build new buildings (that's what a lot of you urbanists want, new buildings) is TINY and requires alternative materials, sufficiency or a lot of excel magic and taco policy. And it is shrinking.

If you live in California and want to see elevator reform happen, email your state legislator and tell them that there’s an unbacked bill floating around if they wanna carry it and to email [email protected] to see it :-)

the national broadcaster running a daily broadcast about the Olympics called "petro-canada" is just a little too on the nose for me honestly

The Liberals have never recovered in Ontario. Without the Liberal toronto base, Ontario is a one party province.

High-vis for cycling, high-vis for walking to parties, high-vis for children playing… Where do people think this stops? Comment & Analysis: Yesterday, it was the bus drivers' union's turn to call for mandatory high-vis for cyclists. But I just have to ask: Where do people think this stops? The…

I've added new results to this post on solar and batteries taking over the world, include system cost breakdowns in components (solar, battery, fuel), simulations with much lower battery costs in 2050 (e.g. 50 €/kWh, also 20 €/kWh), curtailment, etc., as well as making data files available. Enjoy!

For comparison, we spend $118 million for all geothermal energy R&D for the whole country.

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?” Yes, but this kind of smart, energy efficient, all-electric, heat generating machine is illegal in the US and Canada.

why won’t the left just praise every technology handed down from self-interested billionaires seeking only to enhance their power and profits?! clearly, they’re the ones in the wrong if they can’t get on board 😤

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Developing nations leapfrogging fossil energy systems and going straight to new, now-affordable clean technologies is one of the more hopeful energy stories of the coming decade. Parallels to leapfrogging landlines and going straight to cell phones.

Ugh, look at the wall thicknesses, it's so cold in there. These buildings are everywhere and are considered romantic today, but they were never finished; insulation was always lacking here. Nicht neu, known for a long time.

This is grim news and a direct result of the terrible decisions made by the Province in 2024 that increased the toxic drug supply and closed safe consumption sites. The Premier was told this would happen, by the Auditor General no less, and did it anyway. #HamOnt www.thespec.com/news/hamilto...

✨ introducing… ✨ 🌇 Transportation for the Abundant Society 🚅 "Abundance" says our problem is artificial scarcity—especially housing. But you can’t build your way out if transportation policy still treats traffic flow as sacred. Transportation is the binding constraint. ssrn.com/abstract=538...

This is hilarious. A list written by people who have no idea what other people do in their jobs, or why still other people value dealing with those humans.

Today on Volts: I'm joined by the great @michaelhobbes.bsky.social to discuss "reactionary centrism," an intellectual tendency that's come to dominate US public life. You know the type: would never view themselves as conservative, yet finds voluntary pronoun use vastly more aggravating than fascism.

pretty sure we could smell this at Victoria Park this am

I've heard from residents in the Central and North End neighbourhoods about an strong odour coming from the area around Bayfront Park. While I can't be sure what it is, I've heard from many, including some experienced environmentalists, who tell me it's coming from the CN shunting yard. #HamOnt

Far too many U.S. drivers are simply unable to conceive of a world without widespread traffic deaths. They think it's impossible, and so much discourse reflects that. People just shoot down left and right ideas that have been proven to work in other places.

There's been a lot of discussion about Council lunches lately. I think it's worth unpacking some of what's happening and why. As someone who has never participated in the Council meal program, and can clearly afford to buy my own lunch or brown bag it, I agree we should get rid of it. #HamOnt

these are great! so grippy, so supportive.

What an interesting thread. France went all in on nuclear power plants, which are now being displaced by cheaper wind and solar. Ramping nuke plants up/down and turning them on/off puts unexpected wear and tear on pumps, valves, pipes, etc., raising maintenance costs and shortening equipment lives.

The government is giving a loan to a Crown corporation that should just be a public service that we pay for because it provides an essential task that Canadians depend on. We don’t provide loans to the health care system or schools; we just pay for them.
