A great *Canadian* city isn't one where the geese use roads, but one where the racoons use transit.

Much of outer London has train services into central #London, but not to each other
Enter the Superloop, London's Express Bus Network 🚌, which is now expanding with 5 new routes
#TfL is asking for input here: haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk

Here's a map I made with the routes overlaid on the Tube & Rail map

Why is Tim Hortons so much worse now and really why is so much of #Canada owned by a few (often foreign) companies

During the #TubeStrikes, fellow Londoners remember the Overground lines, Elizabeth line, and bus network are still operating but will be busier than usual or hire a SantanderCycles e-bike.

#TfL is for the first time seeking a sponsorship for an entire Tube line: The Waterloo & City line shuttling between Waterloo and Bank stations.

Best case scenario: #AbbaVoyage should sponsor it and have Waterloo playing on one end and MoneyMoneyMoney on the other

For #London 's Santander Cycles' 15th birthday, you can hire #bikes and e-bikes for FREE every Sunday in August!

Make sure to bring it back within 1 hour to not be charged, but then can hire it again and again for free

Use code CYCLESUNDAYS plus the date (so CYCLESUNDAYS03 for this Sunday the 3rd)

Mark Carney's #StrongBordersAct is to appease Trump.

It lets police see your internet history, IP address, and open your mail all without a warrant.

Instead let's actually make our borders stronger:
- Stop guns from illegally entering #Canada
- Stop the $1bn worth of stolen cars exported annually

I largely agree with Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's #Abundance: Speed up approvals and lower costs to deliver more.

But, I worry what #Ontario is doing with Bill 5 is where these ideas lead. Cutting all reviews and environmental protections for whatever the #government wants.

Croydon Labour MP lays out a key piece missing for the UK's growth: A long-term funding deal for the only transport authority in the country without one, Transport for London.

Long-term funding allows for future planning and 100k jobs across 477 constituencies.

I usually just write off the #US as a lost cause. But this got my attention.
The bill destroys all the #climate progress they're making just to spite Biden. They don't seem to care that it concedes these industries to China, raises energy prices, and 80% of the jobs would've been in republican areas
Let's be real: if Republicans pass the House budget bill as is, it will murder the US nuclear industry, ruin our chances of winning the AI race (by constraining power supply), concede the global auto sector to China, and vaporize about half a trillion dollars of US manufacturing investment...

This clip is how you actually do #journalism: inform your audience and then put the contradictions directly to those misleading you to defend.

Great work Anushka Asthana and the team at Peston and ITV

I have a wild idea for who should be the next #NDP leader: Nate Erskine-Smith

After being snubbed from cabinet, he should defect and run for leader

He's bilingual, communicates well through podcasts and social media, and has pushed hard for popular, progressive and practical ideas

On #transport, former policy advisor to then mayor Boris Johnson claims @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social isn't doing enough.
Yes, it will be a long time before #Crossrail 2, but new lines in from outer #London and beyond are less urgently needed as remote working has grown

Sadiq Khan is squandering the success of the Elizabeth Line
Despite the popularity and success of the Elizabeth Line, other major transport projects in the capital are in limbo

Lots of infighting between Conservatives for who is to blame for their loss in #Canada

Newly re-elected conservative MP Jamil Jivani is blaming Doug Ford for "sabotaging the Conservatives' campaign" and being a "hype man for the Liberal party".

Lori Idlout ᓘᕆ ᐃᓪᓚᐅᖅ, Nunavut

I was there at the Toronto Van attack in 2018, and I am really disappointed with the #Vancouver police, they're dismissing the idea that they should have put temporary concrete barriers between where heavy vehicles can be and where a street festival is taking place.

It's not "barricading people in"

What do the political parties in #Canada promise to do about #transport and #transit?

I'm summarizing all the major parties' platforms (in polling order) followed by the parody Rhinoceros party as a treat!

Let me know any topics I should compare!

Vote Monday. Check elections.ca

You know they're doing badly when Canada's Conservatives are running ads trying to convince the older white male golfer demographic.

Live posting #Canada 's English language debate:

Poilievre tries to hit Carney on pipelines right away during the tariffs/Trump section. It's clearly a better topic for him.

Carney doesn't try to deflect, he politely directly addresses pipelines. Only Blanchet says the pipeline would take 10 yrs.

J'ai regardé le débat en français ce matin. Voici quelques extraits:

Singh affirme que Blanchet a été « aussi inutile que la monarchie.» Ouf!

The decision to disinvite the Greens from #Canada 's leaders' debates breaks the Commission's own rule.
Without meeting the polling criteria they need to have candidates in >90% of ridings exactly "28 days before" election day.
It doesn't matter if some drop out as long as they had that amount then.

Voted today in Canada's election from here in the UK!

Canadians, it's super easy to vote early or on election day.
Don't worry about being registered, just bring like a bank card and a bill with your address (even show it on your phone) or bring someone to vouch for you!
