A related one I'd like to see pushed out more is something like: "Cyclists break the rules to save their lives. Drivers break the rules to save time."
New slogan for @tomflood.bsky.social "Drivers: Perpetually endangering people to save 3 seconds".

Thanks to the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres for synthesizing exactly why the Hockey Canada trial set EM up to fail.
![Reminder of evidence that was EXCLUDED from trial:
- The 2022 Hockey Canada investigation interviews with the players, which included statements that Foote was naked from the waist down when he did the splits over EM's face and that EM fell outside the bathroom at Jack's
- Text from a witness immediately after the event that said "[Dube] was smacking that girl's ass so hard. It look like it hurt so bad."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rdvlop5cnkjpcfwtlrp3iv46/bafkreiha25a2jye25vlpzimrmkahqazq3obth6kl3o53magpxrxfn6v6qq@jpeg)

Most plastics are not recyclable, largely because there is no market for materials labeled 3 through 7.

Big Plastic wants you to think you can recycle your yogurt container
Those numbered labels, vetted by private interests, can be misleading.

I joined the @ottawacity.ottawa.ca property taxes to spatial data to create interactive "Revenue by Hectare" maps - a powerful way to understand how land use supports our city.

Stopping the loss of affordable housing is as critical as building new affordable housing.
Stopping illegal or unnecessary renovictions before they happen is a key tool in our prevention toolbox.

Tonight was the OSTA (Ottawa Student Transportation) board meeting. The elimination of the @OCtranspo youth rates will cost the local school boards millions.
Public education funding shouldn't be used to fix holes in the city transportation budget, those funds are necessary for supporting students

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.
