Dual citizen Canada/US. Grandma, love camping in uncrowded places. Heartbroken about the US election result. Some of the same trends in Canada, too.

We need a new Amendment to the Constitution that allows the PEOPLE to recall a ROGUE President. Perhaps 1 million signatures from 26 states? At that point there would be a recall referendum. It would be decided if that would include an Impeachment hearing. We must make sure this can’t happen again.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

He didn’t hesitate to protect complete strangers and stop the attacker.

While explicitly watched during driving sessions that were part of the study, 50+% of drivers failed to check for cyclists and pedestrians.
WHILE EXPLICITLY BEING WATCHED FOR THIS VERY BEHAVIOR !!!
Imagine if they were just doing some everyday driving…
Any similar study in the EU?

More than half of Toronto drivers in a Universtiy of Toronto study didn't look for people walking or on bikes before turning right. Study used eye-tracking tech.
Increasingly deadly vehicles, dumb laws, and irresponsible driving equal people being injured and killed.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

We face a climate emergency, a housing/affordabikity/homelessness emergency, a public health emergency, an equity emergency, an infrastructure cost emergency, all tied to too low densities, not enough housing, & far too much car dependency.
What we DON’T face is a “community character” emergency.

Despite a well-recognized housing emergency in Puget Sounds, cities continue to wield their emergency powers in ways that are related to...anything but that crisis.
A latest example: Bellevue is considering an emergency control tonight to protect the "character" of Old Bellevue from development.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

Myth: drivers deserve more space on roads than cyclists & pedestrians because they pay registration and gas taxes
Facts: (1) registration and gas taxes don’t cover all the costs of road construction and maintenance; (2) most bikers/peds also have a car (90% of US households owns one)

A corral like this seems like a good solution to rental bikes left on footways.
And if folk complain about a change and the council, on reflection, consider their complaint to be unsubstantive e.g. "it takes up a parking space", there's really no need for them to act.

Why is the government doing this?
What’s the justification? How will the unhoused, the elderly, the disabled keep identifications up to date? Isn’t this another barrier? Why change prescription drug plan outlined in Bill 11? Why don’t they have answers for those things up front? #ABPoli #ABLeg
