If Premier Houston & Mayor Fillmore want to make an immediate impact on congestion in #HaliSky, they could stop mandating people back to offices & allow for more flexible working hours so drivers aren't piling into cars at the same time every day. It's not rocket science www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

email to my councillor to reject a proposal to "pause" bike lane design and construction. By all means, pick out anything useful for your own correspondence docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Councillor Kathryn Morse denounces Mayor Fillmore's "anti-active transportation motion" 🚲 #BikeHfx

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...

This is a move that goes against all evidence. We can't afford this kind of backward thinking anymore...

What an idiot Fillmore is. Halifax really goofed making this man mayor. No chance of making significant progress with him in office.

“if you look at the worst choke points in Halifax, the Armdale roundabout, the Windsor Street exchange and North Street, none of these have bike lanes, so bike lanes are just an easy scapegoat for the congestion that’s caused by cars”

Halifax — “I would encourage anyone who has feedback on this proposal to share it [with Halifax city council] before Tuesday’s vote.” ✅ Email [email protected] for sharing all councillors ✅ Read my next post for more info about why cycling infrastructure helps everyone (incl people driving!).

Found over on FB: an Eastern German map of West Berlin... A good reminder of how totalitarian regimes deal with those they don't want to exist.

Everything that they are saying about disabled and neurodivergent people is terrifying. The danger is real.

Protect disabled folks. Our value is not dependent on productivity. No one’s is. We need to ensure it doesn’t creep any farther into Canada. There are lots of reasons to fear annexation, but as a nonbinary and cognitively disabled person, the idea of living under current US policy is terrifying.

It is truly amazing how little scrutiny Stephen Miller gets—not because he’s an architect of Trumpism; that gives him too much credit. But because he is openly the most bigoted and malicious person there and he behaves and sounds like a petulant child.
