Streetcar, powered by overhead wire (on a grid whose two top sources are nuclear and hydro), with advertising wrap for oil & gas. Paid for by something called “Canada Action.”

So many scenarios. Woman alone on transit. Approached by stranger demanding something. A number of justified and understandable reactions to that. Then what does the cop do?

A contingent of surrender monkeys materializes in Canada whenever the President of the United States twitches.

They are untethered from facts. Once you kiss those goodbye, it’s over.

Trump literally ran for president to stay out jail. And all the Republicans who supported him knew this. Fuck them all.

Just finished Interior Chinatown. 10 episodes in 4 days. One of the best series of the year.

What is the Canadian identity?
The Canadian identity, as I understand and celebrate it, is that anyone can be Canadian, while maintaining their individual/community identity, as long as we all respect each other and nurture a feeling of belonging.
I think that's about it. There's probably more.

Canadians need to learn the different responsibilities for the different levels of government
I mean, what's the point of having provincial governments if they're going to offload all their responsibilities on to the feds

Our team analyzes EVERY single road in the city every 2-3y.

We then choose the best #BikeTO routes based on a bucket of criteria.. including equity, connectivity, safety and constructability - and within our budget.

The side street routes absolutely do NOT exist.
I cannot stress this enough. The side street routes do not exist. IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD BE FULL OF CARS. There are no routes through the side streets ON PURPOSE, to discourage cut-through traffic!

We all know that the main purpose of Christianity for conservatives is to act as shield for their cruel and outdated policies that disproportionately and negatively impact the poor and the vulnerable.

Premier Ford, the bike counter at Bloor W by Keele, 5:22pm today 871 PEOPLE of all ages had passed riding their bicycles.
As of Jan. 1, it’s been 386,152.
If there were CONNECTIONS N-S to Lake, there would be 2 to 3 times more riders.

Toronto needs more SAFE bikelanes, NOT less.

This. No reason other than grift.

And Alberta's UCP government is all-in on this, along with their buddies like Mraiche.

It's all about the grift. Siphoning public dollars into private hands, and for worse outcomes both financially and health wise.

Things I’m tired of explaining to people on Twitter:

• Yes, scientists know more than you do.

• No, your own “research” is not better than peer-reviewed data.

• Your vs. You’re

• No, Hitler did not have a point.

• A constitutional republic is a form of democracy.
