The Best Tactics for Tackling Speeders Drivers who exceed speed limits are the cause of about one-third of all crash deaths in the US. To slow them down and save lives, cities have several effective tools.

"That may be the most important lesson about local speed mitigation tactics. These moves can clearly save lives; researchers don’t doubt their effectiveness. Even better, many residents are eager to see them implemented. The missing link: policymakers courageous enough to do the right thing."

Next stop : you redo Montreal ? ;)

Trade without accountability, pollution without borders No executive — in Washington, Ottawa or elsewhere — should have the unilateral power to dismantle protections, bypass accountability.

"Canada and Mexico must urgently break the chain of deepened integration with the U.S., as the latter has proven to be driven by violence, openly hostile to regulation, dismissive of international norms and indifferent to the deleterious cross-border consequences of its policies."

Sadly it becomes the new norm more and more to have those variations with all the consequences at different level...

Did you check the publications.gc.ca for example with that publications.gc.ca/collections/... ?

There is also the tracker launched in January by the CHMC : www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professional...

That is a nice collection 🤩

But sadly the populist and far right (and some extremism) are very active and growing in many of them too (despite seeing what it did and what it is doing currently) so it makes many institutions / freedom / progress / rights always fragile and never taken for granted.

Yes they added that in their update yesterday ;)

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

The rendez-vous of any Transit enthusiasts and / or professionals 🤩

I am not sure that with the new rules about Airbnb the passage about it is true now for Montreal. It is clearly less (not?) profitable if you really want a place to serve only that purpose with many months not available for that use.

And the REM really helps now to even explore that route bite by bite if / when the whole is too much

Le hug déjà.... mais la main dans les cheveux c'était un cran plus.

Ah... On aurait dû s'organiser pour se faire un rdv Bluesky Transit aujourd'hui pour le REM 😋

So cute. My dog is also waiting for the snow

Ça a l'air que mes yeux n'avaient pas transmis l'information à mon cerveau 😍

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas / plus Facebook, quels sont les détails de l'événement? ;)

Et il y a une confusion claire entre le droit de s'habiller et le droit à la mode. Deux choses bien différentes qu'elle cherche à mélanger clairement.

C'est dommage car on sait que ce genre de commentaires TV en direct est ce qui a participé aussi au début de Twitter.

(J'avoue le faire moins même si je regarde les émissions et lire ce qu'il se dit)

Well done !

At least the show was less full of over drama than some of the last 2-3 years.

What I regret though is that they go bigger and bigger with houses while some years ago it was more reasonable places that more people could relate (and it's some good challenge also to work with that)

ETSC: Mutual Recognition Deal with U.S. Will Cost Lives on Europe’s Roads By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

“Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated U.S. pick-up trucks and SUVs – vehicles that are heavier, more dangerous to other car drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility.”

Study finds Montreal cycling infrastructure doesn’t match demand Bike lanes, BIXI stations and other micromobility infrastructure make up just two per cent of Montreal’s street space – even in neighbourhoods where cycling demand would justify more – according to a ...

"The study introduces a new measure called the Equal Infrastructure Allocation (EIA) score, which compares how much dedicated infrastructure space is available per traveler, for different modes of transport."

It's like when there is clear detour and road closed signs but you still see many going inside the road closures or near the construction site. And often they say they didn't see the sign despite passing by 3 big signs.

I didn't have one in the bathroom since I moved to Canada, but before I moved, I had some places with one in them, and I have to say it was nice and useful. But it all depends on the type of building we are talking about also.

The air quality this year is so so bad in East Canada and concerning (with true effects on health).

Still hoping that he will make some to finally understand how things are interconnected on earth.

PS: how is the book?

If I remember correctly, this time would be in line with the previous lane / service that was in place before. However, the service will be offered at a better frequency and with improved opening hours too.

I wish it would be that easy to immigrate here. My husband is in long security check for his Visa while he did his PhD here, I am Canadian living here and he plans to work here.

So for now I have to go see him in US where he is for his postdoc and next year in Europe.

But still parked on a bike parking space though...
