Trump and Duffy want to launch a thousand rockets a year, and remove almost all environmental protections and oversight. Between launches of thousands of satellites and building of thousands of data centres, these tech advances the Abundance gang say will help mankind are contributing to killing it.

Critical Mass Friday Aug. 28. 6pm meet at Prince Edward Viaduct Parkette (across from Castlefrank Station). Route TBD. Purpose? Well, the Court of Appeal said we don't need bike lanes. We're certain many would disagree. All out.

I will keep posting these videos on bike lanes that Ford is threatening to remove daily until morale improves. Today we are on Bloor at Brunswick, during afternoon rush hour on a Wednesday. No congestion to be found. 38 bikes and 25 cars over 2 light cycles.

I started biking b/c it was the cheapest option - compared to driving or the TTC. I continue to cycle b/c it's the fastest option against all other modes of transport. If the TTC was faster, maybe I'd take it, but right now it's not even close. When I do take transit, it's a GO Train out of Toronto.

This federal gov survey about the Billy Bishop Airport is disgustingly biased in favour of expanding it and allowing jets. Please fill it out and let the Canadian gov know how damaging this project would be to Torontonians' health & wellbeing. #ONpoli #TOpoli #cdnpoli tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

Question: Would you support changes to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport? This could include optimizing airport infrastructure (including changes to runways), allowing for different aircraft types, generating economic development and job creation, improving connectivity, increasing passenger flow, etc.

Answer: NO. Wow, this survey is already super biased - pitching the "changes" as only economic benefits. The environmental affects of these changes would be disastrous. Pollution of all kinds (air, water, noise) would threaten Toronto and the health of anyone who lives here. So NO, I don't support the changes.
