The math doesn't lie. Ticketing significantly decreased speeding.
When cameras triggered tickets: 31,581
When cameras recorded speed but couldn't issue tickets: 71,258

so our government made a big deal about banning speed cameras but one city left theirs running to see what difference the ban would make and you are not going to believe this

Been wondering what's going on with logging in BC?
Most BCers don't hear about logging very often, ever since mainstream media eliminated their enviro beats in the 1990s
Here's a rundown:
1. BIG LEAK: BC govt suspiciously overestimates how many trees are left

Leaked report claims B.C. timber harvest is vastly overestimated
An undisclosed report obtained by BIV estimates the province is likely approving twice as much logging than can be sustainably harvested

All aspects of bird behaviour are a product of the anatomy and physiology of their brains. Brain anatomy can therefore provide new insights into bird behaviour.
Today at #BOU2025, I will discuss how museum specimens can potentially be used to study bird brains.
