Public Transit has a marketing problem in Canada. Not to customers (who love it) but to senior governments (who are apparently not even aware it exists). May I propose:

"Transit. It's like a pipeline, but for people!"

I'm sorry. But if an SUV clips your handle bars while you are biking along a bike route, it's 100% the car drivers fault.

Infuriating that the VPD is somehow blaming this on the cyclist.

The City of Vancouver has announced a gravel path next to the seawall to connect the area between Science World and Olympic Village next month, replacing the much criticized 400-metre detour through a busy road that they originally implied could last for seven years

Vancouver Seawall and Seaside Greenway path users will soon be closer to the water when walking or cycling by Science World.

Congratulations to @seanorr.bsky.social and @lucymaloney.bsky.social. Huge victories in the Vancouver by-election.

Orr did better than Swanson in the last general. Maloney would have been a top vote getter too.

This is more than just a motivated opposition. There's a shift away from ABC. #vanpoli

Feels like we need more of this kind of marketing in Canada. I bet there are a lot of Canadian products that fly under the radar.
