Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.
If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

We build aggressive vehicles
We market them recklessly
We celebrate dangerous driving
We design violent streets
We prioritize the driver at all costs
We shame and blame everyone else
Road violence is no accident it’s a direct result of our choices.

Some think the most urgent task of public policy is to improve society for everybody, and others think it’s to sort people into “Good” and “Bad” categories based on movies they’ve seen and make the bad people suffer as much as possible, even if that rules out doing anything for the good people.

Edmonton's infill election is over, and Edmontonians overwhelmingly voted for a pro-infill council. The predicted backlash never came.
Now, it's time to build. And what better place to start than near our LRT stations.
