the scarborough busway should inspire the city to look into longer, more permanent busways on available right-of-ways that can produce rapid transit speeds at cheaper cost and timelines. the one with greatest potential, i think, is finch east. this would transform east-west travel in scarborough.

Finch busway concept along the hydro corridor from finch west station to around Malvern. Various branches that leave the busway depicted, to Milliken, Scarborough Centre, and deeper into Malvern

Connecting areas in outer west London to the Elizabeth line, Jubilee, Bakerloo, Central, Mildmay and Lioness — this new overground line will be a game changer. But West London Orbital wont do. So what should it be called?

The cities of Kitchener and Waterloo in Ontario are extending their light-rail transit (or tram) south into Cambridge. But, there's quite a gap of density between them, so why not connect via the airport and bring in a neighbourhood and industrial centre? Brown = current plan, red = my proposal

Every city in France above 150k people has a tram or subway. I was just in Reims🇫🇷 - 177k people live there. Equivalent to Ipswich🇬🇧 / Barrie, ON🇨🇦 / Midland, TX🇺🇸 Yet they have 2 fast tram lines along with a rapid bus network and high-speed rail. It grows downtown, businesses thrive, traffic drops.

A new study suggests Canada could remove 5x its annual carbon emissions by planting trees in the newly thawed parts of permafrost — measured by how much carbon they'd capture over the course of 75 years assuming the new trees keep existing over that time A huge opportunity. youtu.be/FDI8A5cVv4I?...

Beyond Mark Carney's Liberals getting a majority in parliament after last night's by-elections, the real news is that the Conservatives fell tremendously in votes in Toronto. For example they fell from 23.5% to 12.4% in University-Rosedale while the NDP nearly doubled their vote share there

PM Mark #Carney welcomed an MP into his party who is anti-abortion rights, opposed the ban on gay conversation therapy, against legal cannabis, and in the pandemic spread vaccine misinformation. What does Carney's Liberals stand for if their 'big tent' includes anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-vax MP?

The Alberta NDP does not need to agree with the federal party. Democratic is in the name — not everyone has to agree or 'toe the line'. But to lie about the new leader is disappointing from Naheed Nenshi and makes me lose trust in him. Avi Lewis never cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP.

Doug Ford completely misses the moment. His "Fortress Am-Can" is based on the belief that Trump wants to "decouple from China" and to do so "Canada is here to help" — Did he not notice all the threats to our sovereignty and new unpredictable tariffs on a whim? www.ontario.ca/page/buildin...

On #Canada's Budget, unlike the Conservatives (who had 2 MPs wait and not enter the House in case), clearly the Liberals knew they would get 2 abstentions from each party and that's why they went ahead with the vote. And the #NDP probably knew too because they knew to only have 2 of their 7 abstain

Mark Carney's #StrongBordersAct is to appease Trump. It lets police see your internet history, IP address, and open your mail all without a warrant. Instead let's actually make our borders stronger: - Stop guns from illegally entering #Canada - Stop the $1bn worth of stolen cars exported annually

The decision to disinvite the Greens from #Canada 's leaders' debates breaks the Commission's own rule.
