Every cyclist experiences this.
In every city. Good infrastructure gives way to scary, uncomfortable, dangerous. It's why people don't ride bikes everywhere. They don't line having the sh!t scared of of them. Also they don't want their 5 & 12 year olds to get killed, nor their grandparents.

The world needs to boycott and divest from US corporations, US-made products, and US-led events.

It’s time for the world to boycott the US
A global boycott may be the only nonviolent way to curb US aggression and repression.

If INR gets too high, you can bleed to death if not given vitamin K

Triage & doctors had no idea that you can self test or be tested at many drug stores - WITH INSTANT RESULTS. All asked to see the unit

Local hospital does not have the unit.

NS Health should be embarrassed @nsgov.bsky.social

DANGEROUS TO WAIT 3 or 4 hours for hospital lab results

Relative went to local emergency department. Uses Warfarin (anti blood clotting med) for life - due to artificial heart valve. INR reading was too high…

For 150 years, Africville, sitting right next to Halifax, was a thriving Black Canadian community.
Halifax refused to provide city services, and eventually forced residents to move as they bulldozed their homes.
This is the story of that community.

True all over Canada. I constantly see people commenting β€œnot affordable” every time they see a midrise or highrise building going up - and never ever see them making that comment about a 3000+ square foot single family home.
"So warped are perceptions in Toronto that even progressive folks consider tiny condo apartments, the first rung of the property ladder that people claw their way into, as β€œluxury,” but homes in the million dollar range or more are somehow not." From @shawnmicallef.bsky.social in 2016 but still true

Still want to promote Bitcoin @pierrepoilievre.bsky.social ?

In Canada we have the Jordan decision from the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Supreme Court.

Delay is presumptively unreasonable after:

18 months for cases going to trial in provincial court

30 months for cases going to trial in superior court with or without a preliminary inquiry
More than 1,400 pending criminal cases in Oregon must be dismissed due to a huge shortage of public defenders, state supreme court ruled.

Many defendants have waited months or years to get a lawyer, a constitutional violation leaving them unable to fight charges, indefinitely derailing their lives.
Oregon must dismiss more than 1,400 criminal cases due to attorney shortage, court rules
Severe lack of public defenders has meant people charged with crimes have been routinely unable to fight their cases
