“Postmedia is the nation’s leading supplier of climate change denial and pro-oil industry propaganda, so it’s not surprising that they would dismiss academic research and rail against bike lanes when they provide an inexpensive solution to interrelated emission, pollution and congestion problems.”
Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters
The findings of a study about bike lanes vs car infrastructure have been twisted by a Montreal publication in a cheap bit of bikelash.

Spinning a reissue on orange vinyl of @garynumanofficial.bsky.social 1983 release: Warrior. Some shades of Gabriel 2-3 and maybe Lodger in the production, and there's even sax blowing on a few tracks. A nice surprise .100% Numan with a different approach to the sound engineering. Great listen:)

“There’s no excuse for political violence — but it’s hard to be sympathetic for someone who profited off hate. Charlie Kirk never ‘lowered the temperature’ as so many politicians and pundits are now disingenuously pleading. He is absolutely responsible for making political violence more prevalent.”
