No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.

Excellent thread! It's very commendable to be doing the right thing for the long term. Every council faces budget challenges, thank you for not passing the buck to future councils.

This is great and I'm very excited about it. My additional wish is that the unsaved parts of the Lochside trail south of Royal Oak be paved. It's dusty in the summer, muddy in the winter, and definitely holding back usage.

I totally agree. There's two points. First, the very real risk of indefinite ICE detainment is ignored and, second, the risk of terrorism in those European countries is far lower than common risks of traffic fatalities, shootings, etc in the US. I wish those advisories were more "by the numbers".

Opinion: BC NDP overlooking public transit's role in easing cost-of-living pressures | Daily Hive | Urbanized
Public transit is the most powerful affordability tool within the provincial government's control, but the BC NDP is overlooking it.

I own an electric car but I prefer to ride my (non-electric) bike. I wish I didn't need my car at all, but this is a happy compromise in the meantime.

I love that section. It's great to implement separation in a variety of green ways, and certainly with trees. Much better than side-by-side concrete and pavement.

More bike and roll lanes should have trees and gardens on both sides. Delightful climate action. This is Pandora St at Douglas in #VictoriaBC today. #yyj
Protected bike and roll lane with young street trees on both sides. There are pink blossoms 🌸 on the trees on the right side.

Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form. If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure. Nørrebro, Copenhagen.

Early years and later years in life are heavy on medical visits. Like you, I'm also very glad that I've never had to worry about the cost for myself or loved ones.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

I think it's unfortunate. I believe we're better served at the municipal level without federal or provincial party connections.

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Despite biking to Paris, we opted to explore the city on foot and via transit. I was amazed how quiet Paris was. Not due to a lack of people, just a lack of cars, compared to North American cities. It was so much nicer than I expected.

Also, freedom from traffic, parking hassles, and expensive and time consuming maintenance. Freedom to meet and talk with others you encounter while biking.

This is really well described, and since it’s REALLY important these days (trade deficits, tariffs, trade wars and how stupid Trump and his people are about the economy), you should definitely watch it, and definitely share it. Every single repost does some real good.

The appliances emit benzene, a potent carcinogen. Exposure varies depending on ventilation and other factors, but there’s no safe level.

Subsidizing parking transfers money from non-drivers to drivers. It's not fair, and it's a poor investment. I agree with you that we should be improving the bus services. I think the OP does, too.

Thanks. I didn't even realize they were working on the trestle. I thought it was just some underwater cable replacement. I doubt the rest of the work will be so easily missed but it will definitely be worth the temporary hassles.

Has it really started? The project page on the CRD site says it's supposed to start in spring of 2026, and I haven't see any construction. I'm really glad this is coming soon. I wish the rest of the Lochside trail would be paved; that would make a huge difference for my commute.
