Been said a lot but not enough — someone other than a conservative white guy did this, every conservative politician and commentator in the country would be calling it a terrorist act and howling for maximum sentencing. But with the convoy, it’s a sidenote in passing

Data! We undertook this analysis on multiple main streets to show what we suspected - cycling/walking already dominated, before adequate infrastructure. Retailers didn’t know it! Small business support for cycling subsequently became common - and now our city is transforming.

Dear CBC Toronto Metro Morning: when you systematically use the term "money-losing Bike Share Toronto", you betray a bias against sustainable mobility. Would you say "money-losing Gardiner/DVP"? What about "money-losing CBC Radio"? Words matter. #topoli BikeTO

Been a Vikings fan since Bud Grant and the Purple People Eaters. Was so thrilled when they beat Buffalo this Sunday. Then I saw this amazing video.....

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

I suppose if someone were to write a book on how to be strong in yourself and gentle with so much of what’s around you. To know so much and never lose your curiosity. To be open yet resolute when it matters. He could be on the cover. One of the most remarkable things about him

I drive by this building regularly and the sight of fences and a big "CLOSED" sign in front of this important community asset is a very bad look for the city and province. Time to reverse this very bad decision.
