This is objectively a smart policy whose only possible counterargument is "but personal freedom." Which is hopelessly weak if you think about it for even a moment. Cars are the only realm of society where routinely, lethally, breaking the law is accepted.

The only answer is RIVER'S EDGE

stay out of the woods get into a book

sometimes reading about it is the next best thing to being there, so with that in mind here are some of our favorite books that involve The Woods in one form or another for our fellow nova scotians

Today we rode bikes on hilly roads, picked blackberries, and swam in the sea. All the summer things. And now I'm exhausted. #YYJ

They're like Pringles; you can't have just one

This is sick.
We’ve literally killed the solution to create a market for “treatments.”

I call this good news.

Yes it can be really beautiful here in October. I ride my bike all year round.

Oh and also, whether the cyclist was or was not wearing a helmet has no bearing on their responsibility vis a vis getting hit by a car.

Driver fails to yield, strikes young cyclist in Oak Bay The biker sustained minor injuries and was transported to hospital out of precaution

In discussing active transportation infrastructure in OB, some recent argument against is the purported lack of evidence of cycling incidents, implying the roads are already safe. Exhibit A: www.oakbaynews.com/local-news/d...

I'm sure it's also very helpful for trustworthy and totally correct directions when I want to visit the metropolis of Prince Gerys

A photo-shopped image of an alternate flag for the Province of British Columbia. The lower half remains mostly the same with the wavy lines and the sun rising. The upper half has removed the union jack, added more wavy lines, added the silhouette of the Ogopogo (a lake monster), and put the crown above its head. The waves are now the six colours of the pride flag.

Well since you can't beat 'em, it seems, MAKE A NEW BC FLAG!

(I should honestly get this made, but by someone better at drawing than I am.)

Just paid more to fuel my car than I ever did under the carbon tax.

But now, thanks to the Cons’ anti-woke nonsense, the 10 or so cents a litre that used to go back into the wallets of those who need it in a carbon tax rebate, instead goes straight to the profit of big oil.

Way to go, Poilievre.

We have that but it's called Skittle Scatter (an import from the UK)

Now I don't know whether this means you're an imposter 😬

Glad to see you here; hope you're official.

the aesthetics of Trumpism are just "what if Goldmember was from New Jersey instead of Holland"

Good morning! Is the sky really bluer here? Let's find out!

Surging demand for B.C. charity’s food hampers a ‘startling trend’ - BC | Globalnews.ca Eligible clients can pick up a package of things like pasta, sauce, beans and other pantry staples, along with a grocery store gift card, up to four times a year.

Aaargh the cop's glib "safety is a shared responsibility" bullshit. Cyclists are supposed to act like vehicles yet also proactively protect themselves from assault/murder by negligent drivers?

It is so frustrating that this is a quote from a cop. Cyclists are supposed to act like vehicles AND it's up to cyclists to keep themselves out of the way of negligent drivers. #BCPoli
