Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

As much as Doug Ford wants us to believe this election is about tariffs and the economy, it's clear he wanted this election well before Trump was elected. And he picked the dead of winter, hoping he could just coast into a third win. Get out and vote today to prove him wrong. #ONpoli

The City of Toronto is considering building 12 km of new bike lanes across the city, creating important connections in North York and Scarborough. Send our elected officials a strong message that you support more bike lanes: www.cycleto.ca/ie19_1_2025 #topoli #bikeTO

I could sure get used to the height of this new bike lane protection on Cannon St! #HamOnt @cyclehamilton.bsky.social

The only part of the Bloor bike lane eastbound that was somewhat passable was between Bathurst and Spadina, but even so there were some interruptions like this bus platform. It still took me almost twice as long to get into work this morning, and I am starting to get discouraged.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Thanks Richie Assaly of the Toronto Star for this great article about the joys of cycling in winter ! My favourite quote… “ The best way to start winter cycling is to just never stop autumn cycling “. That’s how I did it , and it’s been an amazing adventure!

Doug Ford has spent more time interfering in Toronto than doing his job- being Premier. It’s time for Toronto to fight back- and have the power, autonomy & accountability to thrive. Sign our petition to begin this work now. www.joshmatlow.ca/charter_city

I have noted before that Ontario's Doug Ford is trying to kill us with more alcohol, faster cars, and fewer hospitals, and now a new study shows that people who cycle to work have far fewer sick days off and are more productive. So, of course, he wants to rip out the bike lanes.

Last provincial election, only ~44% of registered Ontarians voted. If you want to see change, VOTE for it! #onpoli #Ontario #neverford #NDP

Everything anyone purports to be angry at Justin Trudeau about: affordability, the housing crisis, hospital and surgical wait times, etc. etc. etc. are MORE attributable to Doug Ford after 6+years of his time as Premier than they ever were to Trudeau. Don't let him escape the backlash on incumbents

The Transportation Tomorrow Survey from 2022 that Minister Sarkaria and Doug Ford were hiding has been released. It shows cycling commute mode share is up 300% in Old Toronto since 2001. Now sitting at 11.3% in Old Toronto wards (4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14), 10x bigger than "1.2%"!

“The long-term health benefits didn’t stop there: commuter cycling was also linked to a 24% reduced risk of cardiovascular hospitalizations, a 51% lower risk of dying from cancer, and improved mental health, as measured by fewer prescriptions for anxiety and depression.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social
