Never forget, car dependency isn’t freedom.
Some might ask “what’s more free than cars?”
Choices.
Choices are more free than car dependency.
It’s not a hard concept.

I’m rejecting design that creates dependency on just one mode.

Pedestrian struck by motorist on Parkside a block from the speed camera that vigilantes kept tearing down that caused ford to remove them from all Ontario. Drive as you wish Ontario. Nobody matters. This is what you voted for.

The Lower Don Trail has seen so many delays it has caused frustration for trail users and prompted @dmrider.bsky.social to write this piece in @thestar.com. Now it's not expected to reopen until Spring 2026. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

I have no sympathy for this. Annex residents complain that the a bikeway one street over has increased traffic on their street, but they don't want their street traffic calmed, they just want the bikeway ripped out. A failure of imagination.
