an outdoor blllboard There will never be a bell loud enough, a helmet strong enough, or clothing bright enough to make up for poor infrastructure. Picture of child biking in a painted bike lane

Enough.

Awesome to see this billboard up in Vancouver.
Was really incredible to work with the people at @visionzerovancouver.ca to bring this to life.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Like George W Bush, Trump has started a reckless war based on a lie | Mohamad Bazzi The Iraq war was built on a lie. Now history is repeating itself

Bar chart showing traffic counts on Bloor Street West in Toronto during the afternoon rush on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. For each hour from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., the number of bikes and motor vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles) was recorded. At 4–5 p.m., there were 643 bikes and 849 motor vehicles. At 5–6 p.m., 930 bikes and 832 motor vehicles. At 6–7 p.m., 919 bikes and 909 motor vehicles. At 7–8 p.m., 726 bikes and 935 motor vehicles. Bike counts exceeded car counts from 5 to 7 p.m. The chart was created by Matt Elliott for City Hall Watcher using data from the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition.

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars.

I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars.

...while encouraging the government to take away the rights of those who they do not like or do not agree with.

No - generally it’s not easy to get more than one card from the same institution.

This is what fascism looks like:

Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

This is how it’s done.

By Attacking Science, Poilievre Takes a Page from Trump’s Playbook | The Tyee Professors find this chilling and warn of the costs.

If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.”

The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration.

Catharine Winstanley and @liisagalea.bsky.social write.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Controlling and silencing the media is straight out of the authoritarian play book.

This is clear evidence that Poilievre and the Conservatives will follow Trump's style of leadership -- because they already are.

To Poilievre's friends.

Lay off Carney's kid. Stop being a bunch of bullies and jerks.

It's not okay.

I end up being part of zoning/planning/development discussions because of my work. Cars on secondary/neighbourhood roads because of mapping apps is not really an issue. The people who take the same route regularly will always be exploring the viability of secondary streets.

Has there ever been?

When looking at the 0.4% for minimum wage earners and the 3.6% for Living Wage earners, do we know how many applications were made versus how many approved? Is the City making it more difficult for well-intentioned builders by rejecting applications?

The ‘Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly’ of the United States Government Elon Musk’s bureaucratic coup is underway.

The world’s richest man appears to be dismantling the government with an eye toward consolidating power and punishing his political enemies, Charlie Warzel writes. Will it work?

I don't know if it would ever be enough to make a difference, Jordan. First, he has no credibility. Second, racism in the guise of blaming DEI is appealing to many people, even if they would never admit it.

Ahem, not legal advice, but start writing old fashioned paper letters and sending them to everyone involved. And start your claim at the CRT within 2 years of the date on which they confirmed that they owe you the money.
