If your goal as a government is to prevent death rather than enable and accelerate it, it's amazing what you can do.
Helsinki (pop 657,000) has not had a single traffic death during the last twelve months.

Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore's power play: It's not just about bikes - Halifax Examiner
Fillmore is something different, more like a fixer or a consigliere; he doesn't want power for himself, but rather revels in moving the levers of power for others.

Elon Musk has donated millions of dollars to Conservative candidates around the world.
He's also been accused of using his platform X to manipulate algorithms to favour candidates he prefers.
We can’t let him do it to Canada.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

Pierre Poilievre's senior advisor doubles as a Loblaw Lobbyist.
Galen Weston has donated to his party.
There is no chance Conservatives will ever stand up to Greedy CEOs no matter how many times they cheat you.
If you want someone with the guts to take on CEOs - that's New Democrats.

As Trump threatens Canada Poilievre leans into the MAGA playbook of singing the tired old hits of the extremist right.
This is a good analysis of how sucking up to MAGA is exposing Poilievre and his Conservative MPs for who they really are.

Support from Musk and Peterson might be a valuable signal to U.S. Republicans, but it's a big backfire among Canadians

Car bloat is a disease – and it’s spreading.
Here are a few of the stories I wrote in 2024 about dangerously huge vehicles. 🧵
This year GM killed the Chevy Malibu, the last sedan available to Americans from the Big Three. 4/5 new US cars are SUVs or pickups.

Detroit killed the sedan. We may all live to regret it
GM ending production of the Chevy Malibu underscores that the Big Three are done with sedans. But consumers may not flock to expensive SUVs in response.
