Oh, and don't forget the transformation of its scarce rail infrastructure with virtually no passenger service (does it sound familiar, Canada?) into a fast, electrified suburban train line, Metrotren Nos, running every 8-12 minutes, with a second line now under construction involving a 3 km tunnel

I participated in the @handle.invalid TRAM study and am glad to see some preliminary results!
Active transport is the way to go for healthier cities and to combat the climate crisis.

What’s interesting about this is it’s not as if Air Canada is favouring customers or shareholders when it abuses its employees. The stock has been dead in the water for years, and no comment on its customer service or ticket prices is necessary.
It exists only to serve a handful of executives.

New study finds that air filters in schools reduces the number of sick days kids take.
Clean air works wonders. It’s egregious that we haven’t adopted it in all public places by now.
It reduces risk of COVID & other viral infections, allergies, asthma and helps with pollution and wildfire smoke!
