Transit advocate, hockey fan ... BC transplant now living in Ottawa and fighting to build a better city. I have family in Minneapolis so I'm watching the occupation and their resistance carefully. Much love to those fighting back.

Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency
