Love this message from the Forest City Slow Roll crew: “Streets are meant for people—pedestrians, cyclists, motorists; folks of all abilities; young and old. We can and must continue to find ways, just and fair, to share them.” See you there today, London! #ldnont raceroster.com/events/2025/...

The problem of delayed analysis is going to be exacerbated with media owners scared to run afoul of the Trump regime. I applaud the @wsj.com's "TACO" analysis; we need more of that, every day - honest headlines, real analysis (e.g. on Trump's cognitive failures), based on observable facts.

So the brilliant idea from 2 #LdnOnt councillors is to cut the budget allocated to bike lanes. Not cut the mega millions for road widening. We declared a climate emergency and do nothing. Dedicated, separated, connected bike lanes are cheaper. And no, they do not interfere with car traffic.

I'm beginning to suspect that the Trump regime is whipping up fear of "immigrant terrorists" not because they actually consider them a threat, but for the sole purpose of getting Americans used to the sight of masked thugs pulling people off the street and into unidentifiable vehicles.

I don’t want this money back (per household = $320 or so), I want it invested. #ldnont Transit brings in revenues of $55 million. The city could, in fact, make transit free for the next year for all users, which would go a long way to building a culture of public transit in the city. #onpoli

The "six homes when Poilievre was minister" is a canard that is not true. It needs to die, regardless of whether the Liberals or NDP are saying it, nor did Poilievre build 200,000 homes. This is so stupid. #debate

What YOU would do. Not what Liberals didn’t.
