Two children injured in separate e-scooter crashes in Toronto In June and July 2024 alone, SickKids recorded 16 e-scooter injuries, more than triple the number seen during the same period in 2023.

Perfect propaganda for the auto industry

-e-scooter crash=struck by drivers
-raising safety concerns=not for cars, for scooters
-not wearing a helmet=blame the victim
-urging a ban (on scooters not cars)
-concerned about use of e-scooters by teens commuting to school=drive your kids to school

Damn I should’ve been defensive cycling. Why didn’t I think of that

A few other tax grabs we might consider abolishing:

- fine for not paying TTC fare
- fine for using drugs in public after the government shut down the OPS
- fine for living in a tent in a park

All capitulation for drivers

-bigger and more visible signage to let drivers know where automated speed enforcement cameras are located
-limit the number of speeding tickets a driver can be issued

Just bring back John Tory already. Useless and spineless.

Caught 2 people breaking 5/7 of your rules!

-not looking left or right
-not visible in those dark clothes
-distracted by eating
-not wearing helmets
-put themselves in danger even with the right of way

Blaming the victim for what they were wearing, a story as old as time.

3 seasons, but still.

Noah Hawley really knows how to make a tv show.

Toronto politician accused of holding up traffic to film campaign video in his car Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford remains a longshot for the city's top job with just six per cent support in polls, but his social-media-heavy…

Pretty sure "accidents"="cars"

I’m going to assume this article is about the rampant scourge of dangerous driving - drivers killing and injuring cyclists without any consequences? Or is it about how cops spend all their time policing cyclists in High Park and none on real crimes while bleeding the city dry with pay rises?

Hawley then suggested the characterization is a comment on Elon Musk (he doesn’t say the billionaire’s name, but his description seems to clearly point to the Tesla/SpaceX/The Boring Company/X mogul as an inspiration. “It’s a statement, on some level, about the hubris we’re seeing around us by people who think they can go to space, re-invent travel, drill in the earth and enter politics,” he said. “They’re doing all of these at the same time when none of them are necessarily being done well. They’re just all being done a lot.”

Fuck yeah, Noah Hawley. Get his ass.

Very Toronto to build a new venue that punishes you for choosing to take transit with a 1.1 km(!) walk.

Bonus marks for naming it in a way that Google shows you the wrong location that is literally an hour away (unless you drive, then it’s 40 minutes).

Could not pay me to go there.
