If a person checks their watch while you’re talking, it’s probably because they’re timing you and this is a competition. Keep talking. It’s win-time baby. You got this.

Exactly. Same continuum.....
As we watch Trump & the GOP ignore the Constitution & the concept of human rights in the United States, consider what’s been happening in Canada with right-wing Premiers and Poilievre normalizing the common abuse of the Notwithstanding Clause to make Canada’s Charter of Rights & Freedoms irrelevant.

Every last piece of transit & bike infrastructure seems to need to go thru "The Populist Playbook".
Scare, complain, reject; rinse, wash, repeat.
All the while the things we really should fear — generational poverty, climate chaos, species extinction — continue on.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

“It’s an historic fuck-up”
Pierre Poilievre’s week couldn’t get any worse, and yet it did.
It will be a miracle if he even makes it to the leadership review.

It should be the first question asked of Poilievre by media in every single interview, every time. And his ridiculous, illogical excuses should be challenged vigorously. Unless Poilievre submits to the standard, normal security check, Canadians should assume the worst about why he refuses to.
PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.”

Public transport investment usually has a return on investment of 4:1 (for every £1 invested, the economy grows by £4), but done well it can do even better than that

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Alberta separatism could never coexist with Indigenous rights because what it seeks to do is re-enact the land grab of early colonialism by more modern means. It is rooted in white supremacy here in Canada, fueled by bigotry and prejudice, and rewards violence against broader world views.
“In order to turn the page to become a new and free country, Alberta has to ditch the things that are Canadian that exist in Alberta right now,” said Bruce Pardy, the exec director for Rights Probe, at a right-wing political conference in Calgary. 🚫🇨🇦 #abpoli
