I am the happiest when I am truly able to say “I didn’t know that; I need to read up on that some more”. After that it’s food, traveling & a good movie.

President Trump says Canada and Mexico are allowing fentanyl to come into the U.S. at “levels never seen before.” However, U.S. Customs data shows almost none of the fentanyl intercepted at American borders comes from Canada.

Excellent summary. Must watch.
Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

This my aunt, originally Canadian, working as an itinerant nurse administering vaccines, in Alaska, likely in the 50s or 60s. She would be heart broken if she was still alive. Why has America lost those values?

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

So true
A single sentence, that if embraced by urbanists, mayors, city councillors & the dude who works in finance but is convinced he intuitively knows how to design a street, would greatly improve cities. This sentence would also make community engagement sessions far more productive.

I don’t want bike lanes removed or reviewed by the Province. No data supports this & it’s not their row to hoe. I hope Cycle Toronto is successful. I wish a speedy recovery for the ED.

My father who was normally a super strict Italian-Canadian 50 something dad was taken by these guys & introduced them to me. I was 11. He may have shaped my taste in music & tv viewing. #punkrock #sexpistols

Proud of OPPI. This is an excellent submission.
This is very important — The Ontario Professional Planners Institute submitted an thorough, evidence-based and very convincing 8-page letter to the Doug Ford Govt of Ontario, opposing the removal of any bike-lanes in Toronto, or any other municipal jurisdiction. ontarioplanners.ca/inspiring-kn...
