As the Ford government prepares to tear up key cycling infrastructure in #Toronto and #OttCity considers its Transportation Master Plan, now is a good time to re-share this summary of research on cycling infrastructure—including the myth that widening roads eases traffic. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

While not mentioned in this article, congratulations to Planned Parenthood Ottawa for the role they played (through a privately-funded project) in training primary care providers across the province on use of mifepristone, and therefore the expansion of access to #abortion services in Ontario.

Not to mention that voters need to actually cast their votes. Regardless of what the polls are suggesting, we can’t assume anything. It is still anyone’s election.

In response to Trump's latest threats to escalate if Canada works with Europe on retaliatory tariffs: "We choose our own allies in Canada, we choose how we engage those allies. We are sovereign," Carney said. "So I take note of the President's comment, I don't take direction from it." woof

Surprise! The government knows that ripping out bike infrastructure will not solve congestion issues and will increase risks to cyclists and pedestrians. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I made a similar error in paperwork when I was backpacking in the UK for four months. Fortunately I didn’t end up incarcerated for my mistake. Yet another reason for tourists and travellers to avoid going to the US and spending your money there.

This government's record on spending is akin to taking out cash in bank loans worth billions for projects no one wants, soaking said cash in gasoline, piling it onto a condemned ferry, and then firing a cannonball at it while they watch from their private deck at the Ontario Place spa.

Ditch Starlink. Support Telesat. Work with European allies on IRIS2. Build alternatives before it’s too late. Canada needs a much more robust and secure space communications strategy.

Ontario. We seem to have developed some serious comprehension problems thanks to our proximity to the US. If you have voted and/or paid taxes before and you haven’t moved, you’ll get a voter registration card. This is an optional convenience. In Canada, we bring ID, show up and we vote.

I have been thinking a lot about this topic and because some rando decided to get into it about the ethnic purity of potato chips, let's go. I write to you as a 20-yr supply chain professional (glamorous and lucrative) and also as a normal Cdn shopper on a budget (okay, not lucrative). 🧵

Canadian MD here. We should all be terrified by the health consequences of the United States’ anti-science, anti-vaccine, disinformation-peddling politicians. Americans won’t get the care they need. And we are going to see Canadians consume disinformation from the USA, with serious consequences.
