WE KNOW 🚲 AGAINST TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE
🚗 turning right from a side street won't see them as they're not looking in that direction. 🚶no probs. 🚲 avg spd 16kph. But many 🛵 have top spd 30kph, & they're supposed to ride against traffic? Shd ride WITH traffic, like 🚲, & use BLs too! 30kph #cycling

"However, police say they can only be legally operated on sidewalks, pedestrian trails, and parking lots. Where there are no sidewalks, they can be carefully operated along the left edge of roadways, facing traffic, with other pedestrians."
THIS IS INSANE!

Yet another view of the Netherlands' busiest bike intersection, made possible, in part, by an extraordinary bus network & no cars.
#Utrecht

Nog een blik op het drukste fietsknooppunt van Nederland, mede mogelijk gemaakt door een buitengewoon busnetwerk en het ontbreken van auto's.

#cdnpoli #abpoli #onpoli Still think Canada can "negotiate" with these sick f**ks. Time to stop taking their calls. The MAGA CPC, Danielle & the AB MAGA UCP want to bring this to Canada. Doug a ? he is a Donald fanboy. #BillC-2 is the foundation.

Doug Ford's disastrous legacy:

A "decade of stagnant post-secondary funding"

A "budget focused on cars more than on people."

"Health spending not enough to maintain service"

From 2021 - 2024, more than 100,000 people (on net) left the province.

Steven Del Duca, a couple weeks after saying he will get rid of speed cameras because they do nothing for safety, is now championing the new crime cameras

"If you're not breaking the law, you have nothing to fear", he says

Too bad he and Doug Ford didn't have the same energy for speeders #onpoli

"What this will all mean in the long run is unclear. But in the short term, it will almost certainly mean fewer family medicine residents. That’s right: this change is likely to lead to fewer, not more, doctors in Ontario."

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad.

While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

Jordy: Republicans control every branch of government. Every day that passes with the gov shut down is another reminder that Trump and the GOP would rather protect pedos than ensure people have health care. Because once the government reopens, you know what’s coming—a vote on the Epstein files.

Bike Share - an example of wise public policy.

"From its initial 80 bike share stations in 2011, Bike Share has grown twelvefold, with 992 stations across the city’s 25 wards as of September." #biketo #onpoli

How self-cleaning toilets, the pandemic and bike lanes made Toronto Bike Share a staple of the city, and how Doug Ford’s battle against bike lanes will shape its future.
