Boycott US travel

Avoid the intrusive hassle by following 👇

The inhumanity of the current administration is mind boggling. (And frightening)

The inhumanity of the government of my southern neighbour is abhorrent!

Rainbow over False Creek in Vancouver

This is the rainbow my grandson and I saw on our way to Arts Umbrella on Granville Island. (After being buffetted by wind & rain) #BeautifulVancouver

False Creek, Vancouver

Tonight, I took my granddaughter to her singing lesson, and we both enjoyed this view of False Creek.

Looking west to the Granville Street Bridge.

One of the benefits of using my RadWagon to take my grandkids to programs on Wednesday afternoon is being able to ride along the False Creek Seawall.

Returning to Vancouver on the SeaBus.

We had rain, we had Frogs, Unicorns, a T Rex and lots of creative signs at today's No Tyrants rally in Vancouver. #NoKings

There’s a No Tyrants rally at Jack Poole Plaza this Saturday, October 18. Come show your support for our American neighbours as they struggle to prevent their country from becoming an authoritarian state.

Trout Lake in Vancouver

Fall beauty in Vancouver. Trout Lake in John Hendry Park in East Van.

Love the ghosts on the Tenth Ave bike route.

It's always nice to visit VanDusen Gardens.

Don’t delay too long. Garfield is looking forward to a dinner invitation.

Be Seen.

The Vancouver line-up is stellar 👇

I've frequently seen it. (Sadly) Today, I was able to snap a photo.

Note vehicles blocking crosswalk at Clark and 10th Ave.

Apparently, drivers drivers can ignore the "Do Not Block Intersection" sign on Thursdays. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social @hubvancouverubc.bsky.social @visionzerovancouver.ca

The Marine Building reflection.

Seeing this reflection of the Marine Building reminds me of my Mum, who remembered it being built.

How about legislating lower default speed limits and permitting more automatic speed enforcement cameras?

Hey @dnv.org this is a great sign in front of Boundary Elementary School, but you need another on William Ave where numerous drivers refuse to obey the 30km/h school zone.

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.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc. Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Thanks! I’ll check that out next time I’m on Ontario.

And at what speed do you need to be at to flip a vehicle like this?

In addition to being dangerous (crash, injury and deaths show that) the road surface of the crossing at 10th and Clark is terrible. Making it even more hazardous.
