Watched a movie last night where someone walking was struck by a driver & died, my spouse quietly whispered to me "I dread this happening to you every time you ride your bike". Getting from A to B through a healthy & efficient mode of transport should not be something that kills us #SafeStreetsNS

This article resonates. I feel terrible for my students whose education is disrupted yet again, this time through the (in)actions of @dalhousie.bsky.social senior admin who have not returned to bargaining with @dalfaculty.bsky.social. We want to support our students - let us! #KeepDalStrong
