True, it won't solve the problem itself. That said, pretty much every well functioning system I'm aware of, in regions with decent population size, have a distinct authority.

Yeah, it certainly needs more frequency.

A full crown corp system like Translink is a long way off, unfortunately. But there is now a CRD transport arm, which is promising but inadequate for the moment we are in.

It does, just not enough.

Within the federal level. Invoked by Parliament. Federal law has no way of impacting provincial jurisdiction like this.

After decades of being told that the Dutch and Danes had some innate affinity for biking, here the Parisians are showing the world that alternative mobility can be rolled out anywhere/everywhere.

Shout out to Bogotanos who have also embraced the humble bicycle!

Am I the only one who for years thought that the M in RCMP stood for 'mountain'?

Nonetheless, I believe they have to dismiss the entire board and cannot fire an individual member.

My bad. I forgot they backed down. It was threatened though.

I believe it happened in Chilliwack too, not that long ago.

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

No longer the riding Fairy Creek is in, with the new boundaries. That would be Juan de Fuca--Malahat. Ravi is Langford--Highlands.

I am just revelling in how bluesky right now is like walking into a friendly neighbourhood coffee shop and seeing some friends. Twitter for the last little bit has been like the Granville strip at 3 a.m. with a scary amount of coke and meth and men who just want to scream at you.

Yet we were forced into hoping he'd win, because Tyson is a convicted rapist.

Ah shoot. I'm hoping I can make the public service/celebration. I also went to Barrett's. I imagine it'll be at UVic.

Take it as a compliment. Mayor Chow is great, and I was hoping to find her here.
