Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Bike lanes aren’t the cause of congestion anymore than tent encampments are the cause of homelessness. They are symptoms of larger issues, and removing them won’t solve those issues either.

The wisdom of kids just blows me away. Decades of car-centric planning has stolen their independence. We have to do more to design #SafeStreets for them now & ensure a liveable planet for the future. From the bike rally at City Hall today #BikeHFX

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more cars stuck in the same congestion. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com

Fillmore's motion to pause bike lane construction is straight out of the populist playbook. A great explainer from @kwilsonhfx.bsky.social provides evidence to debunk Fillmore's central argument for this disingenuous motion: youtu.be/ogD1kOjiSXQ #BikeLanesAreForEveryone #BikeHFX

Wildfires in northern Manitoba have now burned more than 4 million acres of land, forcing 25,000 people to evacuate their homes. WCK teams are working closely with Indigenous and emergency partners to support impacted families with warm, comforting meals. #ChefsForCanada

I wasn't expecting to drop everything to write this update today. Mayor Fillmore is putting forward a motion that could kill or drastically reduce the Regional Centre Bike Network. It's problematic, reckless, and lacking in evidence. My take here samaustin.ca/the-bike-net...

What the heck is NSP even doing with SINs? That's not information required to deliver power or bill for it. If they needed it to verify identity, it should have been deleted after. Basic data privacy.
