The traffic calming installed in my neighbourhood has meant my kids have a safe route to school and soccer practice. Its made a huge difference for our comfort. Ken Sim & ABC would rather placate a handful of noisy drivers than protect children, seniors, & others who just want to get around safely.

While the debate over traffic calming is grabbing the headlines, Ken Sim has also proposed a much more profound—and destructive—change to the way that we plan our streets, notes Ruofan Wang.

Today's announcement from ABC that they plan to remove traffic calming in neighbourhoods that badly need it will have dire and long-reaching consequences - and it's actually about much more than banana barriers. Our statement: visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/10/07/a...

Canada’s airports are publicly owned. Now, Ottawa wants to open them for private investment. “The biggest advocate for change is private industry,” writes Isaac Peltz. “For them, it’s win-win. But for Canadians, it’s lose-lose.” thewalrus.ca/carney-wants-to-privat…

Soooo.... Those Ontario kids who made that hilarious and deeply satirical American Dictator board game (think "Monopoly: Fascism Edition" — see my video yesterday) sent me this email last night. 3,000 games sold in six hours after my video. As of this morning, they're up to 7,000. 🫪

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

As we sit on the precipice of another election in BC—particularly considering the climate with the Democrats in the U.S. right now—it's worth pushing progressive politicians to vocally affirm their support of LGBTQ2S+ folks (and particularly trans people), rather than accepting silence as support.

Workers are losing their right to strike and Canada is being sold for parts so naturally Canada’s columnist class is focused on what really matters: Why the only prominent progressive voice in politics right now is Evil for criticizing a literal genocide
Robyn Urback, sharing her Globe op-ed, writes: “Avi Lewis' foolish statement should be disqualifying for the leader of a major political party.
However, because he is leader of the NDP, and because his target was Jews, it very well could boost his internal support by five points.”Gary Mason, another prominent Globe and Mail columnist, shares Robyn’s post and writes: “This is the best and most important piece I have read today. My colleague nails it. I hope Avi Lewis reads it and responds appropriately.”Stephen Maher, sharing Robyn’s op-Ed (which is titled ‘Opinion: Avi Lewis's foolish statement on 'Jewish people' should be disqualifying’) writes: “I think Lewis is in many ways impressive, and Carney is creating conditions for an NDP revival, but I must agree with this.”

Oh my god. People saw the term “concession agreement” (basically a lease) and keep angrily telling me it’s just food and shops being privatized at airports. Concession has multiple meanings. Investors would manage the entire airport. Like highway 407.

What makes this obscene is the building Trump's threatening to demolish if he doesn't get his way, is a *memorial* to a loved president who served his country and was assassinated while in office (two things Donald is yet to accomplish). It is like Trump threatening to jackhammer JFK's gravestone.
