Honestly. Same.

Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

That woman will continue to run for office from the grave.

Now I understand how benign things, like sitting on the “wrong” side of the bus or drinking from the “wrong” water fountain, can be regarded as profound acts of protest.

It’s precisely because the status quo is doing nothing; and any minor, but courageous, act of defiance will upset everything.

For those who ask “how did [insert authoritarian regime here] get into power? Why didn’t anyone oppose them? Why didn’t anyone do anything?”

Well, we’re seeing that unfold in front of our eyes.

If you’re in the mood to be infuriated today, read this article of how VPD, to no one’s surprise, lied about statistics on stranger attacks.

This is silly. Shadows are not the enemy of the people.

Also, in the list on absurd things, why hide the signage of businesses? What will that accomplish, exactly, the days a game is taking place?

These rules seem absurd, specially in a city already known for absurd rules.

I should also mention Ravi Kahlon was great in that role, and BC has done a number of good moves on housing under his leadership. Thanks to Kahlon for his service and best of luck in his next appointment.

B.C. Premier David Eby reshuffles cabinet to boost economy and jobs British Columbia’s cabinet has been reworked in what Premier David Eby says is a strategic shift in order to focus on jobs and the economy.

Christine Boyle as Minister of housing is such an incredible outcome for her. I’m thrilled to see her in that role.

What a delicious outcome of events

Fact of the day:

We’re currently debating a new bike-share program in Victoria.

City staff noted that “serious cycling accidents and fatalities are down 37% since 2017,” when we began building out our AAA bike lane network. We now have 45 km of protected lanes.

Cycling infrastructure = safety.

There is a direct correlation between housing prices and how vibrant a city is. This is also true of Vancouver.

Or… ever, really. People in Vancouver/BC seem to be allergic to turning signals.

Let me guess, article also includes quotes from Patrick Condon, Andy Yan, and Bill Tieleman?

Wait, were there no diseases from the americas that were introduced to Europe from this exchange?

The group of diseases from Europe are quite the bevy. “Thanks for the pineapple, here is malaria”

Patriotism, to me, is making sure your neighbor has healthcare, a roof over their head, lunch to eat and clean air to breathe, not tanks in a parade.

Oh, and that live-translation feature is pretty neat as well!

That being said, I’m excited for polls on iMessage. Maybe now we can more easily agree on a date/place for dinner with my friends.

Me, rubbing my eyes comparing Apple’s new design system to the current one.

Oh, but I’m sure Pete Meinszner will take a trip to Montreal sometime and post about how awesome car free streets there are and that he wishes we had them here.

Canada won’t become the 51st US state – but could it join the EU? Donald Trump’s extraordinary threats have angered Canadians and Europeans, and the idea of a new kind of transatlantic alliance is gaining traction

The brave German politician behind this 1-man campaign is a friend to all of Canada. Let him cook!

To this, I say, how do I sign up?

Not an urbanist. Just want to live in a walkable neighbourhood, with enough housing, transit, and amenities for all that need it.

Wait…

Just got back from Italy. Japanese bidets > Italian bidets.

Amazing!!!

Carr, next to him, probably thinking: nice speech, but I’m voting ‘no’

I hope I’m proved wrong. I’m willing and hoping to be wrong on Robertson in this position.

No, Carney, nooo!

Not Robertson!!

Terrible, unbalanced article focusing mostly on the criticisms against the project with little regard for the many who would support it.

Goes to show even the Broadway plan is not mighty enough for complainers against shadows.
