Did you know you’re a CO-OWNER of your city, not just a resident?

Yeah, so from clean water to property values, municipal finance impacts EVERYTHING in your life. Most people ignore it… until the trash piles up or toilets stop flushing lol.

For over 40 years, Winnipeg’s iconic Portage & Main intersection has been CLOSED to pedestrians. In 2018, 65% voted to keep it shut. #winnipeg

I've TRIED talking and “being nice” but have been met with incomprehension. There's a FUNDAMENTAL MISUNDERSTANDING of what Utility Cyclists are VS what Recreational Cyclists are. Councillors, you NEED to know the difference when making rash decisions like these.

“People get very complacent driving cars, because it’s easy, and you are very protected and you’re very isolated inside your car.

It’s easy to forget that there’s a huge amount of energy inside a car, even when it’s only going 20 or 30mph."

what. the. fuck.

We might legitimately move out of London, Ontario at this rate.

We were excited to have these bike lanes go into our area, along routes that we frequent. Peter Cuddy LITERALLY SAID HURON STREET IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BIKE ON – THAT'S WHAT BIKE LANES ARE FOR!

Did you know that your laundry detergents don't dissolve and work properly in FREEZING water, only regular summer temperature tap water? So make sure you use the Cold/Warm setting during the colder months, not just the Cold setting.

Use cold in the Spring, though!
