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...

Detective collected video footage but never watched it. He collected her used clothing but never sent it for forensic testing. And he never filed for a warrant to get the files from Hockey Canada. And y'all wonder why less than 10% of victims in Canada report to the police.

What a headline. The AAA bike network will be finished for less than the cost of just the real estate purchases for widening Robie for one 900 meter car lane.
