Come on, Canadians, this only has 6436 signatures in a month?! This proposed sale of a Canadian payment system to U.S. ownership is a threat to our privacy and even our sovereignty. We should be opposing this as hard as we all boycotted American goods and travel! Please read and sign! 🇨🇦💪 #cdnpoli

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

One of the key lessons from Dutch cycling history is cities didn't start with protected lanes. They began by making streets safer, calmer and more inviting; with lower speeds, parking restrictions, traffic filters and reduced through-traffic to create an environment in which cycling could flourish.🧵
