If you think pedestrians + cyclists don't particularly like sharing the road with drivers, wait til you meet other drivers.
Drivers are probably the most anti-driver people out there.

The buck stops at Queen's Park. Hospitals run a $70 million debt while Doug Ford spends $48 million ripping out bike lanes. We live in the stupidest timeline.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

Are Toronto's bike lanes really empty? Charlie Buckley hit the streets to count cyclists, dug into city data, and compared the numbers with major cycling cities around the world.

Absolutely horrifying to see this much of America's media/entertainment ecosystem tied up in one company. The rules for companies buying other companies needs a massive overhaul if not overt outlawing.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.
