Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

You probably won’t be shocked to hear that after losing his seat in the Canadian election & barely putting any effort into his safe seat “campaign” in Alberta that he needs, Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to complete the normal security check and try to get the standard, ordinary security clearance.

This Premiere has no idea how much disability, lost productivity and death costs. Covering Covid vaccines is a ridiculously easy fiscal decision. Her comments highlight her ignorance and will be a record of her negligence in the future.

Amen to this.

It's not professionally popular to keep talking about this, that's for sure.

The normals are like “whaaaaat”, but the forensic pathologists are like “That’s a Thursday”.

And PLEASE VOTE. Last time, Ford got a majority based on votes from only 18% of the electorate.

I love this. It is a must-read for Canadians. I keep saying: this experience should motivate us to finally reckon with our own shameful history and take real and meaningful action to do *much* better in the present to build a better future. 🧡
