I'm so amazed by the positive reception to this little project. I just checked our Eventbrite & our first orientation (that folks have to take to get access to the bikes) is already sold out! 🤯 So... we clearly need a larger space/more orientations & MORE CARGO BIKES. Donations accepted!

I would go one step further and state that all text you get from all parties - NDP, Liberal or Conservative - are a form of "voter survey scam". If they're legitimate, they're used to decide where to target ad dollars. Angry replies from a region tell the party not to waste time or money.

I am buying Canadian as much as possible but we need to remember that this fight is not just about us it is about the rules-based international order. To do that we need allies and friends. Buy European. Buy Mexican. Buy Indo-Pacific. Buy Latin American. Canada is a nation of traders.

Cities do change, if there is vision & actions. Leadership. Vittoria-Gasteiz in Spain was sprawling out of control until... they stopped all land expansion. All pop. growth had to be on existing footprint, 5-8 floors along all arterials. Walk, bike, & public transit: priority #1

Tesla is under investigation in Canada for processing 8,600 vehicle sales in just three days before a federal EV credit expired. The company claimed $43 million in credits over those three days. It was a big jump from usual sales volumes.

This is called social murder. These deaths were caused by every politician who's refused to build more social housing for the last 30 years and every politician who's responded to the fentanyl crisis by ignoring drug policies proven to reduce deaths and sticking with the failed, deadly war on drugs.

If the only issue of "fairness in women's sports" you care about is whether trans women are allowed, but aren't fighting for pay parity, maternity policies, better abuse protections, increased funding, media coverage, etc, then you don't actually care about fairness in women's sports.

Two very high quality electric cargo bikes will set you back less than the average annual cost of a new car (my acoustic cargo bike was less than 1/4.of that). A lot of families could save a ton of money by replacing one of their cars with a cargo bike to accomplish many local trips.

How do you take a cargo bike for a service and get home again? Put your bike in a bike!

The decision to not help the homeless was never about cost. It was about the bullshit moral fallacy that, "If you're homeless, you must deserve to be. " Nobody chooses to be poor. Nobody chooses to be homeless.

This was a major theme of the debates over pandemic protocols. People who opposed vaccine and mask mandates simply didn't fucking care about other people, and they projected accusations of fascism on those who did.

It looks like unfortunately we're going to have to add another $400 million to the "ICBC rebate" on this chart. Reminder that the e-bike rebate, which only ever received $6.5 million, is the single most effective way to get cars off the road & make streets safer. dailyhive.com/vancouver/ic...

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol
