The City of Regina should operate secure bicycle parking on Scarth Street during the summer months.

I wonder how much downtown activity would increase if people could park cheaply and didn't have to worry about a stolen bike.

The average Saskatchewan resident is responsible for 13x more planet-warming gases than the average human on Earth.

The result of which will certainly cost much more in the (not so distant) future, compared to the estimated social costs of carbon of $275 per tonne in 2025.

This is housing that has historically been missing in this country. A middle ground between the 300 square foot unit 50 storeys up, and the 6,000 square foot house out in the suburbs.

The Missing Middle.

These are backyard suites, rowhomes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and sixplexes.

They allow for a gentle increase in density while maintaining neighbourhood character and building community.

The CMHC has released the Housing Design Catalogue—a standardized set of housing designs intended to smooth homebuilding in Canada.

This is what the future of housing looks like.

Perhaps the most important piece from the report on foreign interference is the warning about misinformation and disinformation on social media.

Commissioner Hogue says disinformation has "the ability to distort our discourse, change our views and shape our society."

X's AI platform is prompting "why avoid public transit?" on a post about NYC's new congestion pricing.

Results primarily include concerns over safety.

In other words: a car salesman is fear-mongering you out of public transit (see chart—cars are far deadlier).

North American cities were primarily designed for one mode of transportation.

Now we’re faced with more vehicles than available space, and politicians falsely claim this problem can be solved by continuing the same trend.

This level of action is what is required to prevent the worst of climate change and to improve our cities. The sooner governments realize this, the better off we will be.

The space efficiency of public and active transit is unmatched. Anyone telling you otherwise is simply wrong.

A bicycle would need to travel on a road 160,000 times to cause as much wear and tear as single motor vehicle trip.
