Still thinking about this part of the conversation, showing a poster by @tomflood.bsky.social next to two by Klaus Staeck that I remember from my childhood.
Lots of parallels between discussions in Germany (and other places in Europe) back then and Canada (and the US) 30 to 40 years later.

An hour in, it hit me: I made that logo. 3 years ago with @mihai-cirstea.bsky.social and a few others giving me live feedback.
Did I believe we’d have accomplished everything we have? Yes. Ending traffic violence is an idea that’s time has come.
I just thought we’d have gotten a better logo, too.

My biggest “wish I said that” was live on CBC about a 12-year-old killed by a driver that morning. A woman emailed in about cyclists needing to wear reflective clothing.

Over the past few years, I've frequently criticized Brian Montague for living in North Vancouver. Today I'd like to formally issue an apology.
It turns out he actually lives in Kelowna.

In light of this horrific incident, and years of residents demanding change with no action from the city, we're helping support a "stroll in" protest tomorrow.
Meet at 16th and Willow at 1pm (maybe with an umbrella ☔) and let's tell the city that it's time to make our streets safe.

What if Macklin McCall introduced a private members bill requiring 30km/hr speed limits or suspending licenses for excessive or repeat speeding offences? Would be an easy way to demonstrate his commitment to safety. That way nobody could accuse him of crassly using safety to advance political ends.
Conservative MLA Macklin McCall: "What we have before us is a bill that removes a proven safeguard and replaces it with little more than the hope that a 12-month waiting period and an absence of tickets will somehow guarantee competence." (1/2)

We know speeding is incredibly dangerous and that virtually every driver (including me) is guilty of it.
Let’s break with the past.
-suspend drivers for excessive or repeat speeding
-lower speed limits to what is actually safe
-automate enforcement with speed cameras anywhere there are kids
