Enjoyed your interview with the ABC councillor this morning. Thank you for drawing attention to these critical road safety issues. That said I’m disappointed the councillor wasn’t pressed on the VPD’s lack of speed enforcement means any speed reductions are meaningless.

First, CBC must retain the rights to PWHL broadcasts of Canadian teams on Saturday night. Lastly, buy back the rights or pay the fees for original theme song of Hockey Night In Canada. Do this and you’ll bring the country together and revitalize the Hockey Night in Canada brand. #pwhl #goldeneyes

"Housing shortages are regressive, hurting low-income tenants most, while areas that have added the most homes have not just seen improved affordability, but when rents have fallen, low-income tenants have reaped the largest rent declines."

So on Thursday Ken Sim told us he was sat next to Don Garber. Guess who was sat on the other side? David Eby. In other words, the MLS boss and the premier met two days in a row. The Vegas stuff is really just noise for now. The focus is truly on Save The Caps theprovince.com/sports/socce...

There is an alternate explanation. Win for Quinn makes sense if the intention was also to maintain maximum negotiating value. Once jim lets out he’s leaving no matter what, that additional leverage goes out the window.

I’m not a fan of politicians trying to make people angry for votes by claiming there actually IS a “war on cars” (there isn’t — if anything there’s been a war on every OTHER way of getting around since the 1960s). A politician just made the claim on LinkedIn. Here’s the reply I posted. #UrbanTruth

Text explaining how there isn’t a war on cars, with all the benefits of reallocating street space to move a lot more people with a lot less space and other consequences, including life and death, pollution/emissions, public and personal costs, etc. Providing more choices works better for everyone, including drivers. And more transportation choices support the economic competitiveness of cities, as smart cities know.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
