What our governments could do for the people in Canada with the energy they are investing into stripping LGBTQ+ of rights most of us take for granted and destroying ecosystems we all require to exist.

The abuse of the notwithstandingclause in AB to push a paranoid agenda through is bull$hit.

Vaccines for everyone!

(I had shingles in my 20's and it was debilitating).
Want to ease the burden of health-care costs, and especially hospitalization?

Easy. Just spend whatever it costs to provide all Canadians with free vaccinations — for life.

COVID-19 normalized vaccination for adults, and we should go further to protect people from shingles and RSV.

Things that DO make traffic worse:

- TOO MANY CARS
- SUBURBAN SPRAWL
- CAR DEPENDENCY (even for short trips)
- Bigger vehicles
- On-street parking
- ride-hailing

Things that DON’T make traffic worse (actually mitigate congestion):

Bike lanes
Bus lanes
Decongestion pricing

If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me if my 13yo had their Type-1 Diabetes under control!

The follow-up is always - “one day they will be an adult & can manage it all themselves.”

ALL = no pancreas, applying for device funding, ordering supplies, aging out of peds care, no health care…
The average American thinks of type 1 diabetes as a temporary condition, a lifestyle, an inconvenience, not as an auto-immune disorder that has destroyed an organ absolutely essential to keeping you alive.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars.

Even if those cars are electric.

And then there’s all the parking.

OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money and pollution.
