Just because your personal freedoms are being threatened for the first time, doesn’t mean that this is the first time personal freedoms have been threatened. Behaving in this manner undermines relationships with individuals & groups that have been living with this palpable fear for generations.

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Mike Myers est un des seuls canadiens à prendre position. Il l'avait déjà fait chez John Oliver quelques années auparavant contre Harper. Elles sont où les célébrités canadiennes qui quand il s'agit de défendre les US sont là comme Jim Carrey mais jamais quand c'est leur pays d'origine ?

Here in #Montreal, we just got 74 cm (30 inches) of snow. This plow driver has the right idea. The municipal snow removal operation should also be a car removal operation!

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

Fun start to 2025. Bike pilgrimage to the big blue ring with @bromptonleague.bsky.social. Hard work as the pathway wasn’t cleared! But good times.

We know that mobility in cities is about space. More specifically, more trips in less space. We’ve seen lots of great images reinforcing that point. This one might be my favourite, from #Santiago, because it ALSO shows the inequality of having buses run in mixed traffic. Dedicated bus-only lanes.
