The 22:34 Kitchener Line train that used to end (frustratingly) in Guelph, will be extended to Kitchener from 22 November. Attending weekday ballgames will be easier next season!

The case for automated speed enforcement around schools is clear and there is widespread support among parents, hospitals, experts, police, etc.
Once again, it’s disheartening to see Kitchener mayor @berryonline.bsky.social on the wrong side of this issue.

I took my daughter to the PWHL takeover tour game in Buffalo last year. We loved the event & the style of hockey. Great crowd as well.
It's also where I found my Team Canada FNF jersey days after it was sold out across Canada.
And Tim, you will appreciate the Whalers jersey I wore to the game!

One of the cool things about the Vancouver Skytrain is the ability to photograph from the front window! It takes a bit of luck, patience and a clear windshield. But the results give a great impression of how transit has shaped the region. Pictures from April 2025.

Ford's ideas on speed cameras run contrary to evidence, the public desire for safe streets, medical professionals, Sick Kids hospital, police associations & academic research.

More than most European cities, Glasgow rebuilt its geography for the car. The M8 motorway runs right through the city centre. On a recent trip to Scotland's largest city, I spent some time during the 'blue hour' photographing the juxtapositions of city and highway.
