Enough.

Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver.
Was really incredible to work with the people at @visionzerovancouver.ca to bring this to life.

Wales’ 20mph (~30kph) speed limit saved lives—about 100 fewer deaths and serious injuries in just one year. Slower speeds make streets safer for everyone. Vancouver must follow suit. How many lives will we sacrifice before we take action?
Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority

Danielle Smith says out loud what most Canadians fear about Pierre Poilievre:

“…but I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” she added.”

To Vancouver Cycling advocates: we need to band together and purchase a small plow for our bike routes. The city NEVER plows the bike streets or paths and for days to weeks after the chunky ice makes cycling hazardous. I’ll volunteer as driver!

Not every Canadian Pierre Poilievre supporter is a Trump supporter.

But every Canadian Trump supporter is a Pierre Poilievre supporter.

That’s a big red flag. #TeamCanada
You know which Canadian has done nothing useful to support Canada during Trump’s trade war crisis?

Pierre Poilievre.

Not surprising considering his record supporting Trump, MAGA & the extremist Trucker convoy, attacks on media, connection to Stephen Harper, and refusal to get a security clearance.

Proud of our premier staying the course and pushing for more diversity in our experts. Unlike some premiers *cough* Douggie *cough* who walked back their tough talk pretty quickly.

Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Justin Trudeau's best speech.

Canada will place 25% tariffs on $155 billion in US imports in retaliation for Trump tariffs. That is an addition to a nationwide boycott on all US products across Canada. #cdnpoli #tariffwar

Wicked, while an amazing musical adaptation, is also a fantastic portrayal of a magical world where they only have bikes, trains and walkable (danceable) cities.

Oh, and balloons too I guess.

A reminder that bikes don’t cause traffic, cars do. Taking out lanes (I’m looking at you Ontario) is not suddenly going to make any of your traffic woes better.
What if We Got Rid of Bike Lanes?

I dream about the day Vancouver switches from majority cars to majority bikes. Paris is such a great example of runaway urbanism and I’m here for it.
READ: “3,337 Parisians were equipped with GPS trackers to record their journeys…for journeys from the outskirts of Paris to the center, the number of cyclists now far exceeds the number of motorists, a huge change from just 5 years ago.”

Evidence of leadership.
