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.

Hope it's going well for you! I enjoyed doing a mix of clear, intuitive explanation (Walker) combined with more technical math (Vuchic and Wirasinghe's course notes)

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

No worries. Makes it more frustrating honestly.

I don't figure much. But if you choose the question and the approach you can get pretty much anything out of a poll.

Project Calgary is run by Peter Oliver, a key person in Myke's campaign. So imperfect may be an understatement.

Willem Klumpenhouwer @wklumpen.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Project Calgary is run by Peter Oliver, the same dude heavily involved in or running Myke Atkinson's campaign. So grain of salt. Also the polling methods are pretty high margin of error. And ward polls with 50+% undecided are kind of meaningless at the best of times.

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?

Well, this is certainly predictable. It's also avoidable. Progressives just repeating 2021 in Ward 7. 🤦 #yyccc

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

Pretty crazy leaps of logic to get all the way to "getting inside with forced treatment" from that statement Nate.

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.

@jeromyyyc.bsky.social "Housing. But not via the most basic changes that need to happen to enable it". Very disappointing take from Farkas over on the other site.

When I visit the Netherlands, apparently I take photos of closed bus stops. An orange bag over the stop with text explaining the closure: Bright, simple, obvious, rainproof. Something we should be doing over here?

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.

I remember a radio host complaining to me about how nobody uses the bike lanes in the winter in Montreal. This feels good to see.

You'd still be putting money into an asset (the home) instead of a service (rent). Add to that the stability and ability to make changes, I think it's still attractive. I say that as someone looking for a home to buy and also actively trying to lower the cost of housing in the future.

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
