Tomorrow, I will be riding the GO Train to Toronto to see DOG MAN THE MUSICAL. (Yay!) We land in Union in the morning and should have plenty of time to take the TTC up Yonge. The Toronto FC also has a game tomorrow, expecting 45,000+ fans to descend on BMO Field to see some famous guy, I dunno.

There appears to be a high-profile (well-funded?) astroturfing against the Canadian high-speed rail project all over Facebook right now. Let's get out and show our support for real transportation alternatives. Here is the consultation (fill it out now): en.consultation.altotrain.ca/shaping-the-...

"Roving gangs of paramilitaries are kidnapping and murdering citizens with impunity, employing violence and terror in service of a dictatorial regime" sounds a lot like the travel advisory for a country on the "avoid all travel" list.

No surprise; the same people demanding return to office are also demanding we don't build more office space. Time to spend public money wisely. Let people work from home; don't build offices we don't need. www.guelphtoday.com/closer-look/...

Guelph has nixed online voting after determining no supplier meets the security requirements. In case you don't understand why the security requirements are impossible to meet, nobody explains it better than Tom Scott. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0...

Guelph just opened a new bike bridge! This is an important first step in extending our accessible to all ages and abilities (AAAA) bike system to the eastern half of the city. Next up: 3 km of improvements along Emma, Stevenson and Cassino to connect all the way to the east end trail system.

The GO was on time, comfortable, and at $20/family, far better value than driving. Plus we got to meet some other friendly families on the train! Looking forward to even more trips per weekend, and to the day we can rely on Guelph Transit instead of driving downtown.

What happened to the bike lanes on Woodlawn in Guelph @guelph.ca ? There's no construction notice on the city website but all the lines were removed this morning. @guelphontwowheels.bsky.social @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social

Just got a really interesting follow up report from @guelph.ca telling me all about their downtown square engagement process. Amazingly, not a single person in the whole process said to make it pedestrian-only! Not even me, who has a pretty strong memory of doing just that. Fascinating!

All this to flip some bits in a computer ledger. What world do they expect to rule over with all that money?

Guelph won't even dare to close a single one. We are, I suppose, uninterested in mind-blowing success.
