Guess what? A driver killed someone. Do we think we ought to change things?

The #NDP incumbent in my local riding has no individual presence at all. We heard nothing from or about them in the past two years. Their election advertising does show their face and name but only has party talking points on it. They are merely a body in a seat. I think political parties are a […]

And if you have it available to you, go watch Shifting Baselines! It's the most beautiful way to learn about how terrible SpaceX is... (And yeah, I'll email the all-Canadian filmmaker team again today and try to find out if there's a way to watch it inside Canada yet)

People who want safe routes to ride bikes *everywhere* are recognizing that people who roll on wheelchairs and (3&4 wheel) mobility scooters are key allies. Time for #biketo folks to recognize the power of people who don't ride bikes in this fight. ecoplanning.ca/want-better-...

This is fundamentally a poll. The random selection of responders is being made at a library, so it’s not at all random. I think it’s reasonable to assume that people who visit a library are people who are more likely than not to be aware or informed about the wider world. And yet, some “were […]

I got home today and told my wife this story. She that while out walking in the neighbourhood, on a different street near another school, a street with no sidewalks, a guy drove by at full speed in a tesla, reading a book.

@sundogplanets I really find it strange that documentarians make their films so difficult to watch. Put it on the common platforms and charge a reasonable price and I will pay. 🤷

It's the drivers who kill and injure pedestrians on our roads. They do it to people without cell phones and with. They don't discriminate.
