I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

Why are prices so high? Our country’s biggest trading partners are Canada, China, and Mexico. And the “stable genius” thinks starting trade wars with all three at once was a winning strategy. This is not America First, it’s America Faceplant. #Trumpflation

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵
Powerpoint slides from a presentation entitled “Unleashing the Silent Majority to Beat Bikelash”, which feature photographs of urban transformation from cities around the world.

Big news for Ottawa. And in my opinion, this big step forward for a Senators arena downtown is also a major step backward for Lansdowne 2.0. I'm already on the record on that one: it was always hard to make sense of the economics. Now? Even more so. 1/ www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

It’s #OttCity policy to build sidewalks in #Ottawa neighbourhoods where they’re missing. This is good policy: it improves accessibility. It’s also supported by extensive public consultation. So why is the City backtracking in Manor Park? #OttWalk #OttRoll www.ecologyottawa.ca/manor_park_s...

Another reminder that “15-Minute Cities” isn’t a new idea. It’s skilled packaging of an idea that’s been around for a LONG time. It’s been called “city of short distances.” I used to call it “The Power of Nearness.” MANY names. More things close by. Less car dependency. More CHOICE. Common sense.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

On Jan. 5, 1974, four women went to the Brunswick House Tavern in Toronto. While performing a song, they changed the lyrics to be an empowerment of lesbianism. They were ordered to leave and then arrested by police. This is the story of The Brunswick Four. 🧵1/9
This is a black-and-white photo featuring four people. The background includes a decorative wall piece with floral patterns. The individuals are dressed in casual attire, with plaid shirts being prominent. The hairstyles suggest a vintage or retro style, possibly from the 1970s or 1980s.
