President Donald Trump wants to spend $1.5 trillion on defense next year. Adjusted for inflation, that would be more than the U.S. spent annually on defense during the height of World War II. (Published August)

The IDF came into my Twitter replies to try & boost their fake report accusing Palestinian journalists they murdered of being Hamas. But when Piers Morgan invited them to debate the so-called evidence with me, they didn't show up so... he empty-chaired them. And then I debunked their 'study':

This is an interesting photo to go along with what was written. That's the Greenbank Realignment project, a very expensive, very wide, suburban road project - not housing. And the area surrounding it, south Barrhaven, is the complete opposite of the "vibrant, walkable communities" he speaks about.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a single lane 9 m wide track for metros, a 35 m wide road for buses with four lanes, and a 175 m wide road for cars with seven lanes, making the point that one single track of Metro replaces seven lanes of car traffic. Mobility in cities is about space.
