He creates complex problems, crises that last for decades.

It would be great if we could take a whole country and change the default speed limit to 20mph and then compare it to one left at 30mph. What if it reduced casualties by 25% and with lower risk reduced insurance premiums by £45 a year? Well it did! bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

No women, no safety

Women on bikes are the indicator species of a city’s cycling health.

If you don’t see many of us, it’s not about lack of interest — it’s about safety.

The world's first carbon border tax will soon go live — shaking up global trade The European Union is poised to fully implement its carbon border tax from Jan. 1.

Good thing that we dumped our carbon taxes to appease the fossil fuel cartel, especially since we want to INCREASE our trade with the EU that's imposing a carbon border tax.
Or did I possibly get that wrong?

Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Monday that Christians and their places of worship are being targeted and, if elected, he will crack down on religion-based hate.

Inflammatory and inaccurate garbage served up in an effort to terrify the congregation and rile them up into a frothy rage. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Every time someone says EVs need to be cheaper, they are, just not here, due to lobbying by GM and Ford. Vote with your dollar responsibly if that bugs you.

Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’ Governments around the world are ramping up coal, gas and oil extraction which will put climate goals beyond reach, new data has shown. Far from reducing reliance on fossil fuels, nations are planning...

Nations’ plans to ramp up coal, gas and oil extraction ‘will put climate goals beyond reach’ “To keep the 1.5C goal in reach, the world needs rapid reductions in coal, oil and gas investments, redirecting those resources towards an energy transition that prioritises equity and justice,” t.ly/Aea9T

Municipal leaders urge feds to focus on nation-building, not ‘nation-burning’ A coalition of more than 250 leaders has laid out five of its own major projects to replace Ottawa’s fossil-fuel push.

"Some" is very polite way of saying, as Bill McKibben said, "stupid."

Bicycles deliver "freedom." @tomflood.bsky.social

After seeing your post I went on line and booked an appointment for today which given I am travelling tomorrow could not have come at a better time. Thanks Oly.

The big one to overcome is "It's too dangerous." Winnipeg needs to invest much more "in bike lanes and traffic-calming measures" if we hope to get more butts on bikes. Reducing speed limits on residential streets to 30 kph would be a good start in providing more options. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social

Trump’s climate con job Given 15 minutes to address the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump found a fresh way to shock the world by rambling on for about an hour — almost a quarter of which was spent trashing clima...

Trump’s climate con job. "If you thought climate change was off the political agenda, Donald Trump would like a word. Meandering words. Megalomanical words. Menacing words. Words tortured into the obverse of obvious truths." “the stupidest speech in UN history,” reckons Bill McKibben. t.ly/N4_4Q

How can so many of us "know what's up" and yet so many of our elected officials don't get it?

Children. When will the speaker start coming down on this kind if ridiculous behaviour.

School streets should only be the start. We need to make residential streets safe for kids to bike/walk to school. A safe street around the school is great but we need to give kids back the freedom that cars took from them. @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social lets starts by reducing speed limits to 30kph.

Cars versus kids: How resistance to change limits children’s right to the city Through a long history of prioritizing cars in our cities, we have normalized not seeing or hearing children on our streets.

Cars versus kids: How resistance to change limits children’s right to the city. Arguments against school streets are "not truly about risks to children, but rather an unwillingness to share power, space and opportunities with children in urban settings." t.ly/HNQUc

Thank you @mmarginet.bsky.social.
For many people with developmental disabilities in Winnipeg, reliable buses are a lifeline to jobs, friends, and community. Late, crowded, or limited service doesn’t just frustrate — it excludes. Investing in reliable transit leads to a more inclusive Winnipeg.

This video legit made me smile!

Dozens? Looks like quite a few "dozens."

Women's Climate Leadership Is More Important Than Ever In her new book, Catherine McKenna talks about the power of women to drive change.

Really excited that Time Magazine excerpted my chapter highlighting the vital role of women in climate leadership — especially in a time of so much “green hushing.” It’s courageous women who are standing up, speaking out, and moving climate action forward.

Yup.

And based on what our city budgets for, it’s clear the priorities are cops and cars

The design makes sure that poles etc are break away but for vulnerable people we are just expected to "break."

Great to hear about today's announcement to extend late night service! 🚌
