CCA says the average cost of owning a vehicle is more than $10,000 per year. The average purchase price of a new vehicle is more than $50,000. Yet when you advocate for people who walk and bike (and this case own small business) you are the ‘elitist’. I like visionary though!

The entire way we talk about the carbon tax is completely stupid. The entire point of a carbon tax is to make pollution so expensive people stop doing it! Trying to make the carbon tax affordable is like trying to make an atheist go to church, it defeats the entire point!
2024 will likely be Toronto's deadliest year for cycling: 4 people killed in the first 4 months. In past, the worst years saw 4 deaths over the *entire* year. How many deaths will it take to get installation of the Cycling Network Plan "Back on Track"? #TOpoli #BikeTO #VisionZero

A note for "conservative" commentators -- There is nothing "conservative" about cities demolishing property rights and adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes/red tape to new homes. Conservatives should be the loudest and most vocal opposition to municipal NIMBYs.

"The complex is increasingly turning into a massive wall of concrete, glass and steel. It will blank out the sun in their neighbourhood of detached houses, called Brentwood Park, for large parts of the day." This is literally nonsense.

I lost some hours of sunlight on my patio due to a new high-rise going in near me. Which I was unhappy about, but I don't pretend there are no tradeoffs to blocking housing. This is not a good enough reason to prevent a lot of people from living close to jobs and amenities.

An interesting response we've been getting: “This video is cruel. I can’t leave the city. My job, friends, and family are here!” Yes. That's why we shouldn't block housing in cities and price people out.

Did you know TransLink won't even be able to increase frequency in rush hours for at least two years? We desperately need more bus lanes *now*, which will allow us to better use the buses we already have. Faster bus=more capacity, less overcrowding

At the @APTA_info conference in Portland, @trimet is showing that you can do beautiful, artistic wraps without covering the windows. People don't like to enter a room that they can't see into. It's why we have a glass walled conference rooms.
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…

The "environmentalists" in the Annex and Seaton village who block development in transit-connected, walkable neighbourhoods are responsible for pushing thousands of new and young residents to live in car-dependent communities along highways.

As long as we have cars that can go this fast, people will drive this fast. Unless we redesign streets with speed humps and road diets, red light cameras and automated speed enforcement.

Why is @SFBART beta testing the NextGen fare gates on paying customers? This evening the BART gates at West Oakland ate my bicycle.
The photos from JFK campaigning for the West Virginia primary are some of my favourite political photos of all time
CCA says the average cost of owning a vehicle is more than $10,000 per year. The average purchase price of a new vehicle is more than $50,000. Yet when you advocate for people who walk and bike (and this case own small business) you are the ‘elitist’. I like visionary though!
This encapsulates the attitude of the urban visionary elitists: - - Pedestrians not getting their noses out of their phone as they cross lanes and intersections is “victim blaming” -The complications of a fire station a block from a proposed pedestrian criss-cross is “nonsense”
Conservative caucus throws a temper tantrum because Pierre Poilievre, who's been in office for 20 years, chose to personally insult another member of the House (in this case the PM) and then was removed for refusing to withdraw the unparliamentary language. #cdnpoli
Another person on a bicycle has died in Toronto after being hit by a driver in a vehicle. These types of roads are deadly by design and encourage unsafe driving through the heart of our city. As long as they look like this 👇, people will continue to die. #BikeTO #VisionZero
COLLISION: UPDATE Avenue Rd and Elgin Ave 1:23 pm -victim in his 30's was on an e-bike when struck -road closures still in effect -consider alternate routes #GO924442 ^lm
The entire way we talk about the carbon tax is completely stupid. The entire point of a carbon tax is to make pollution so expensive people stop doing it! Trying to make the carbon tax affordable is like trying to make an atheist go to church, it defeats the entire point!
@macsquirelera How much of this is bloat and how much is like facilities and food service staff?
becoming a "theres too many admin at american unis and thats why theyre expensive" truther. were approaching 1 admin per undergrad now
It’s really unfortunate to see what’s happened with the carbon tax, it was and is a very good policy.
In all of the hand-wringing about federal funding for new subway cars on Line 2, it's worth remembering that the TTC and City priorities were not always inclined that way. Many years ago, the Feds said "what are your priorities" and new trains were not on the list. (1)
2024 will likely be Toronto's deadliest year for cycling: 4 people killed in the first 4 months. In past, the worst years saw 4 deaths over the *entire* year. How many deaths will it take to get installation of the Cycling Network Plan "Back on Track"? #TOpoli #BikeTO #VisionZero
Thinking of this cyclist and their family. #YouNeverRideAlone. That's 4 in 2024. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
Incredibly disappointed in this dangerous word choice by an Ottawa Councillor A triplex policy is not a “tsunami” we are “wrestling with”. Triplexes will provide more homes for our neighbours. There’s a housing crisis, let’s start acting like it.
