Someone needs to explain daylight savings time changes to my dog. She wakes up an hour early, goes to bed an hour sooner, and expects people home an hour sooner and gets very impatient for her dinner.

The Carney Government has weakened requirements for industry to cut emissions, particularly the oil and gas sector, the most important place we need to cut emissions. While providing more subsidies for LNG. Canada is not serious about the climate crisis. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Goodbye oil and gas cap? Ottawa signals it’s gone, with some caveats | CBC News
After months of speculation, the federal government is signalling its intention to eliminate the oil and gas emissions cap. But it comes with some strings attached.

If you live in a major city, your mayor is almost certainly aware of @annehidalgo.bsky.social's record.
If they're deciding not to follow her lead, that decision is a deliberate one.

Over 800km of new bike paths, pedestrian zones, school streets, 200,000 new trees, a 40% reduction in traffic, a 40% reduction in emissions, and a plan for a carbon neutral Paris by 2050. There is nothing stopping other city leaders from being this bold.
“One of Hidalgo’s most transformative achievements has been her push to reduce car dominance in Paris, a city historically shaped by automotive culture. Since 2014, her administration has added over 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) of bike lanes, making cycling a viable and safe option for commuters.”

Mayor Anne Hidalgo says when banning diesel vehicles, she was threatened by the Automotive industry saying they will fight against her and demonstrate that she is a bad mayor. Is this what happened with Andy, Tim, and all the others who are now so anti-bike?

The Mackay bridge closure got me thinking about the wse rebuild. How much worse will this traffic be during construction? Once built, like removing bridge tolls, how much worse will it make traffic after it's completion? Is 150 million to jam the peninsula with more cars really worth it?

Removing the bridge toll is is effectively removing a bit of congestion pricing. The result? More congestion. NYC recently implemented a congestion price, found traffic to improve dramatically. We are doing the opposite, and not surprisingly congestion is worse.
“buried in the modelling results” of the LinkNS report is “that even if the government pulled off its fantasy plan, congestion would still get worse.”
“There is simply no plan to keep Halifax moving, but the premier would rather distract you with a bike lane drama to distract from his inaction.”
