Ford’s government commissioned a study from a third party construction firm and found that removal would lead to increases in collisions and sidewalk riding. It also found that alternate routes were not feasible. It was submitted as a part of the legal challenge from @cycletoronto.bsky.social

Watch conservatives here in Canada try to claim that Pierre Poilievre, the career politician who has never had any other job, is better on the economy just because he’s “the conservative” (see “tax breaks for the rich”) than one of the most respected economic leaders in the world. Try not to laugh.

"Voters in Stockholm and London both initially opposed congestion pricing before and as the toll was introduced. But as the benefits of less traffic became immediately apparent, support for the toll shot up in both cities."

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invested €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

“…he not only short-circuited the transition to democracy in his own country and in neighboring countries, but set in motion a chain of events that has shattered the transatlantic order that prevailed after World War II.“ “We’re living in the Age of Vladimir Putin.” It’s not too late. Fight back.

New attack ads from Poilievre have the epic nerve to claim Carney will do what Trump wants. This from the guy who is supported by everyone who supports Trump, cheered on the extremist trucker occupation, steals Trump lies & lines, and won’t get a normal security clearance. He thinks we’re morons.

Some of the same people in our country who think “Canadians would have never fallen for Trump’s obvious con” also think things won’t be that bad for Canada if Pierre Poilievre wins. Some of those same people wanted the extremist Conservatives to win in B.C.— an unhinged bullet we just barely dodged.

People (including POTUS) whine about paper straws, but we literally do not need plastic, half the restaurants I go to have figured this out and just provide a bio based option that is as good as plastic. Today hemp, another day recently was reed.

We can no longer rely on America. This is how we forge a new place in the world. Finding new markets needs to become a Canadian obsession. While America paints itself into a corner by declaring trade war on everybody, Canada needs to figure out how to trade with anybody. #Opinion

I'm not sure how the NYT came to conclude that this comment from Trudeau, which got great great attention, was "largely lost in the fray of the moment".. “What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that’ll make it easier to annex us” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...
