Canadian gov. walking away from tariff talks just handed dems in US a good talking point: “can’t even make a deal with Canada.” We’ll see if that enters the discourse at scale…

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

At the risk of being old man yelling at cloud: The epidemic of illegally tinted driver and passenger windows on cars in Ontario is outrageous. Pedestrians, cyclists, people using mobility devices like scooters and wheelchairs can’t communicate with drivers. It’s unsafe and shouldn’t be tolerated.

Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.

There were over 46k Bike Share rides in Toronto yesterday, more than the average ridership of the Queen streetcar. The cost to the city to operate that streetcar was over $50k/day in 2015. Bike share costs the city $8k/day. 6x as cost efficient. Smart cities invest in cycling.

Seriously, the solution to "crowd management" is pedestrianization more often, in more places, and for longer. Instead, transportation services just used "risks associated with high attendance" as a reason to not support Church St. pedestrianization. There is so much rot at city hall.
