I know I’m biased, but Dan does so much heavy lifting to make city data easier to see and use. It’s stuff the city should be doing for us. But we live in a city with “business units” instead of departments and I think that says a lot about their understanding of how to serve the public.

"struck and killed by a vehicle which left the scene" Inexcusably lazy journalism by cbc, parroting police speak. This young woman was struck and killed by a driver, who fled. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Anyone watching what's happening in Ukraine should recognize that Starlink *will* be used against you at some point and to choose accordingly.

If Starlink is used as a foreign policy tool to undermine European security it should also be banned from the Canadian market.

Time for a www.madsencycles.com appreciation post. Our family #cargobike. The bucket covers a smaller rear wheel. Room for up to 4 kids with seatbelts and 270kg weight limit! Handles super well. Bafang power assist. It makes our lives so much easier and has cut a lot of unneccessary city driving.

Meet Soraya Martínez Ferrada. She wants to be Mayor of Montreal. She doesn't like bike lanes. She thinks bike lanes get priority snow removal. In the picture is a bike lane, the REV St-Denis. It was built because Matilde Blais was killed by a truck bc she was riding her bike to work, on St-Denis.

Canada is building HSR! 😮 Canada is actually committing $4 billion (the cost of some high speed lines) and another half decade (the time to build some high speed lines) to more studies and back and forth ("Co development"). 😭

except we don’t! Victoria Rd (Hali) got completely replaced and half the sidewalks replaced last year. The only improvement was tactile plates for sidewalks. And now cars drive faster on the smooth asphalt.
