Nova Scotia must take action to prevent deaths from pick-ups and large SUVs

Pickups, largely promoted and used for personal travel, along with SUVs and minivans, accounted for almost 88% of new vehicle sales in Canada in 2025.

"it’s hard to find a good reason why cities shouldn’t charge a higher price — that is to say, a fair price — for the road space rented as parking for pickups" - @albertkoehl.bsky.social #onpoli #biketo www.torontotoday.ca/local/opinio...

A pickup truck that is parked along the curb dwarfs smaller vehicles behind it. (The driver pays the same for a parking spot.)

Does a pickup's high front-end compensate for the driver's wee little cargo space? We don't think so. Every 10cm increase in front-end height = 22% increase in death risk to pedestrian in crash. Meanwhile, cargo space has remained largely the same. #onpoli www.walktoronto.ca/wp-content/u...

It was an honour to give the keynote address at this conference, and I was humbled to learn how many people in the room were working across borders, in creative ways, to make our region more sustainable.

What a gem of a book! The reference section includes sections for: songs, podcasts, films, artwork, plays and jokes. Proud of Dr Codling, a former student from my University of Reading days.

Members of armed forces are trained in #IHL as a matter of course, but do students have access to IHL courses? In this post, Marina Sharpe shares new research on Canadian law schools, finding that while IHL is not widely offered, student interest in the subject is strong. bit.ly/3W6p6QT

If you teach it, they’ll enroll: IHL education in Canadian law schools

Professor Sharpe's Research on Canadian law schools indicates that student interest in IHL is strong, but courses are not widely offered.
