We should build a High Speed Rail (HSR) Network for Southern Ontario. Today I argue in @thestar.com that for the price of Ford's Highway 401 Tunnel Vision, we can! www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... But more than write an article, I've put together a proposal for what it can look like, and cost. 👇👀

If you get a chance to listen to panel 11 that presented last night @wklumpen.bsky.social had excellent slides to support this but also why it can’t be the only tool. It’s really worth watching.

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms? Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people." Anything that punctures that myth helps. +

Great chat with MRU POST students about Calgary's transit future – from reliability to accessibility. Big thanks to Willem @wklumpen.bsky.social for joining and to the students for their thoughtful ideas. Always inspiring to see young Calgarians engaged in shaping our city.

Finding common ground in politics is hard. That's why I'm grateful for Dave Cree's Ward 8 endorsement. We want to move Calgary forward by lifting people up - regardless of identity, income, or background. Now is our chance to tell the province we value independent municipal leaders. #abpoli #yyc

Ward 7 could have been so easy. It's been demoralizing to watch things go off the rails due to petty politicking, classic progressive purity testing, and old grudges (and frankly, a ton of sexism). Are we ever going to learn our lesson?

Hey, Sonya Sharp and Communities First, Calgary’s Climate Strategy isn’t a “costly political stunt”, it’s necessary policy. Ignoring this isn’t going to make these smoke days go away. Sincerely, every Calgarian struggling because of air quality advisories due to wildfire smoke. 1/ #yyc #yyccc

It once again baffles me that we have staunch partisan opposition to sensible, transit-oriented housing in this city. But clearly they're the minority.

Hey transpo folks! Do you have a go-to diagram, image, or some other visual aid that shows the importance of having a multi-modal transportation network? Something that emphasizes resiliency, meeting different needs, access, etc. CC @brenttoderian.bsky.social who always has good visual aids.

My hypothesis is that full vehicle wraps hurt ridership and as a result don't make as much money as agencies think.

In Canada, a pint is equal to 20 fl oz (568 mL). The allowable limit of error for a pint is 0.5 fl oz (15 mL). The foam (head) is not included in the measurement. The term "pint" shouldn't be used to describe a glass or mug of beer. ised-isde.canada.ca/site/measure... #Canada #beer

Live travel drama trying to get home from #TRBAM. After making me rebook to a later train 3 weeks ago, Amtrak's Acela had a mechanical issue and left 55 minutes late from DC. I have a plane to catch at Newark. It's going to be extremely tight. Stay tuned to see if I make it!

Yup. City planners literally printed this in an apartment open house I went to in Vancouver. An apartment as a “shield” for rich homeowners, from arterial noise and pollution. Hundreds of apartment renters used as human shields.
