Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, land-use sprawl, too many cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.
Highway filled with car congestionWide, busy road at night filled with cars.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

The demographic reality is inescapable: We are going to have millions more older drivers with diminishing capabilities, in cars that are too big and too dangerous for everyone around them, with few satisfactory alternatives to driving. It will not end well.

Climate change denialism in Canada is not just "Climate change is a hoax". It's also: "Before we deal with climate change, we need to... ... defend against Trump. ... appease Alberta separatists. ... make enough money to switch to renewables. ... not crash our fossil fuel-based economy."

This is why housing advocacy is driven largely by people who just want to be able to ride their bikes & get places on the bus. Once you start looking for ways to make transportation better, you realize that it's land use holding us back. And then you start spending all your free time at city hall.

I was the only one I saw wearing a mask last night at a crowded retirement party. The party could've been outside on a covered patio. It was a lovely evening, but organizers chose to put it in a small room--people were so packed they could barely move. A prof asked me why I was wearing a mask.

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 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m road for cars.

"I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice."
