We were in danger of losing quorum at IEC by the time the cycling item was up, and risk punting the vote to Feb. Instead we got through deputations, and the staff report including all 20 km of bike lanes with no amendments will be considered at Council on Dec 16!

What's crazy is not that long ago you would have considered Montreal a city in decline
IMPORTANT: “I boarded Montreal’s brand-new light metro line for its first voyage. From the front of the driverless train, the crowd got a privileged view…The journey was not just a tour of the REM’s 14 new stations, however—it was a preview of the most ambitious transit expansion in North America.”

Canada has forgotten how to build fast, cheap transit. A new megaproject has the fix.

Interesting take but I'm not sure I'm buying the 4D chess here
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

I ... Did not know this. Buy the damn book!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

When we first heard about chess boxing, we thought it was a joke. Chess boxing? Could it really be a thing? Turns out, it is, and it's just what it sounds like: alternate rounds of chess and boxing. cbsn.ws/3K6fXEU
Checkmate or knockout: The sport of chess boxing combines brains and brawn
Chess boxing, a sport testing both brains and brawn, has been steadily rising in popularity. It's been a big hit in Russia, with the U.S. now catching up, one fighter at a time.

In my brief block by block encounters with crossing guards I see how drivers menace them, inching towards. What a whole shift must be like.
The Premier and other politicians, Toronto Police, other forces, have taken the lid of all this. A death drive amid other bs rhetoric of public safety.
