Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.

If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Spread the word.

I can never hear or see something about the extreme right Proud Boys without remembering that "proud boy" is a term for a gelding that doesn't realize it's been neutered and keeps acting like a stallion. So do with that info what you will. *sips coffee*

Made this many years ago after a child was killed by a driver while walking home from school, I’ve never stopped thinking about that tragedy. bsky.app/profile/tomf...
We build aggressive vehicles
We market them recklessly
We celebrate dangerous driving
We design violent streets
We prioritize the driver at all costs
We shame and blame everyone else

Road violence is no accident it’s a direct result of our choices.

Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.

Yikes!!!!!

Some think the most urgent task of public policy is to improve society for everybody, and others think it’s to sort people into “Good” and “Bad” categories based on movies they’ve seen and make the bad people suffer as much as possible, even if that rules out doing anything for the good people.

You can get elected on values and not watered down nothingness or trying to be a version of the one in power (message to Ontario liberal leadership candidates)
Edmonton's infill election is over, and Edmontonians overwhelmingly voted for a pro-infill council. The predicted backlash never came.

Now, it's time to build. And what better place to start than near our LRT stations.
