It's a tough slog up 5 flights of stairs to get to the bridge deck but there is an amazing slot to roll your bike up beside you on this Saskatoon bridge!

Nice work Vancouver @cityofvancouver.bsky.social . I brought this bike lane to the attention of the City at least 2 months ago and it's still covered in leaves, branches and wood in front of one property on Tyne near 62nd.

NEW: Powerful from Brad Lander after being freed:

"I'm fine. I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight. I have a lawyer. At that elevator, I was separated from Edgardo. He's not going to sleep in his bed tonight. He has no lawyer. He’s been stripped of his rights. Our Constitutional democracy is not fine.”

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social Can you answer this question? Can you explain why you're giving out results from Eastern Canada already when the polls haven't yet closed here yet in BC? I thought that wasn't allowed?

Do you know why results are already being posting out east? I thought they had to wait until polls closed out west.

The forces we are up against have made their peace with mass death... A heavy read but hopeful for those who come together to fight for this earth and the life within it.

I'm the words of Hannah Aren't, β€œThe death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”

I see the cyber truck as a human killer. Whether you are a pedestrian or cyclist you will not survive an interaction. Those who are inside the fortified vehicle are protected from any humane interactions.

β€œNow that I think about it, he [Pierre Poilievre] reminds me a lot of Ted Cruz.”

That’s it. That’s exactly it.

Now that I see it, I’m never going to be able to unsee it.

Yesterday, I had the honour of signing a Joint Statement in partnership with the Tsartlip and Tseycum First Nations, and Canada. We are formally recognizing the special treaty relationship created by the North Saanich and South Treaties of 1852.Β (1/3)

Wow. What a loss for local news.

Such a beautiful song about where our water goes πŸ˜‚. Too bad they didn't credit the vocalist or composer/lyricist.

For anyone #Vancouver, #bikeyvr who uses 45th Ridgeway route, or lives in Killarney, this survey is for you. I'm happy they are considering options as the current state of 45th is a rat run not a bike path! www.shapeyourcity.ca/killarney-tr...
