Take a look at historic & picturesque town of Brockville Ontario on St. Lawrence River-2 lanes on Main Street, flexible parking and really wide broom finished sidewalks, with lots of small shops with articulated facades. In an hour this space will be bustling with locals walking, talking & shopping.

Richard, I am out of province and just heard this news. You are absolutely terrific at your work and your research. I’m wishing you all the very best in your new endeavours which I know will be tremendously successful.

Justin in the house!

Current Mayor and ABC majority of Vancouver city Council embarked on a lot of initiatives that did not involve the electorate who actually voted for them. Tried to get rid of the city’s park board without a ballot from citizens. It’s just part of the Americanization of City Hall under this regime.

Someone better tell the wolves where those boundaries are.

I think you could market “driving in with Justin” and we would all fill up the whole skytrain at that time in the morning. Thank you for the beautiful photo.

Thank you so much for letting me know about this great group committed to producing good public space. Please let me know if there is a link where I can hear the talk.

Independent media is so important. 7 million people across the United States showed up at these demonstration walks, which were peaceful. Almost no reporting on this. This is not the report’s fault. This is because media is not independent.

It’s market rental folks! Should the city of Vancouver be in the business of providing market rental units that are not scaled for the actual income of people in Vancouver? Is this really what the city of Vancouver should be involved in instead of affordable co-op units? What a travesty.

Be like the mayor of London. It’s easy to be trained in a quick session how to use these defibrillators. There are instructions on them if you need to learn as you use them.

Kudos to Vancouver secondary students that insisted on them being in schools. They simply save lives. Get them everywhere.

We know speeding is incredibly dangerous and that virtually every driver (including me) is guilty of it.

Let’s break with the past.
-suspend drivers for excessive or repeat speeding
-lower speed limits to what is actually safe
-automate enforcement with speed cameras anywhere there are kids

Billions of dollars of structures destroyed, thousands of people lost their houses, 12 people lost their lives. And it appears it was a young Uber driver who actually created an image on ChatGPT of people fleeing for their lives from fire that started the whole thing.

In 2022, Ken Sim said line item budget comparisons were the cornerstone of his budget policy if he got elected mayor.

In 2025, he voted against it happening for a budget presentation with potentially $100 million in cuts because his newly appointed city manager told him no.

Poster from the Mayor of London about Oxford Street. The text reads: "This is Oxford Street. Traffic-free day delivered a big boost for businesses. Footfall was up nearly 50%." The background is a gradient of pink to orange, with a large crowd of people walking along Oxford Street, which is lined with trees and banners.

When Oxford Street went traffic-free for one extraordinary day, the number of visitors flocking there increased by nearly 50%.

By choosing to be imaginative and bold, we can deliver a better future for Oxford Street: a cleaner, traffic-free world-class public space.
