Une magnifique journée aujourd'hui avec de nouvelles infos sur le projet de Tramway de Québec : TramCité!
Je fais un thread ici pour résumer les annonces de dernières heures à propos du projet.
D'ailleurs, voici la nouvelle carte du projet ainsi que le site web de CDPQi.

“Under Doug Ford's leadership, our government is delivering largest transit expansion in Canadian history."
Give me a break!
Eglinton Crosstown, which (might) open in coming weeks, expands Toronto's transit network by 28 km.
REM (already running) adds 67 km to #Montreal 's network.

The province said the 25-stop light-rail line had successfully graduated from its final testing phase and was being handed over from Metrolinx to the Toronto Transit Commission.

Le PQ est tellement dégoûtant à tous les niveaux. Les rhétoriques de PSPP enrichissent la haine, la division, la peur et le harcèlement. C’en est similaire au Trumpisme. Jamais je n’aurais cru que ce soit le parti social-démocrate ouvert d’antan qui apporte ce style de politique ici…

Les gens veulent le PQ au pouvoir mais ne veulent pas de référendum. PSPP le sait très bien. Il faut donc créer artificiellement des indignations pour réveiller le peuple. Les artistes qui ne dénoncent pas le fédéralisme qui noie le Québec sont donc suspects envers la Nation.
Le PQ de 2025, cette machine à faire du clivage.

Ce qui me fait capoter c'est la quantité de gens au Québec qui sont full prêts à voter pour "ça".
Que ce soit par conviction totale (🙃), ou par défaut (🙃).

hot take: poorly maintained walking/biking infrastructure is MORE dangerous than not having it at all because you have to use the car infrastructure and then also worry about people driving more aggressively around you because you aren't in "your" space.
Just as PSA to folks driving - this is why I run on the road in the winter.

As Chantal Hébert said, folks are missing the climate forest for the pipeline trees.
Carney rolled back major climate policies for Alberta, now! In exchange for a lil industrial carbon price increase and the BS that is carbon capture!
Forgetting the pipeline, this is BAD for the climate crisis!

I'm not convinced that wasn't Carney's plan all along. It isn't Ottawa that said no to Alberta. "Now you run along, Danielle, and make friends and get it done." Oh wait, you can't? Oh well then, at least you tried.

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store.
But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.

Is there any more depressing story in urbanism than the fact that people kept cutting down speed cameras in Toronto, and then the premier just… agreed with them and banned speed cameras across the province?
It honestly makes me so mad.

I’m not an advocate of free transit overall, but I like Calgary’s free zone downtown on the LRT.
It solves one common problem of transit: for many short trips transit might be useful, but just not worth the full fare.
$3.80 isn’t worth it to turn a 20-minute walk into a 10-minute transit ride.

Good moment to remember that electric cars are still cars.
They still :
- Cause congestion
- Affect pedestrians/cyclists security
- Affect negatively the way we plan our cities
- Pollute a lot more at their assembly and still release small particles from their tires
- heavier = causes more damage

In the second quarter of 2025, 21% of cars sold in Canada were electric or hybrid.
The highest rates are in Quebec (24%) and British Columbia (30%). Ontario is about average (20%).
Alberta is missing from the data, but nearby Saskatchewan has the lowest rate in the country (11%).

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)

Fuck capitalism, but he’s right yall
Bikes are capitalistic tools. They are cheaper to operate, more nimble, can park anywhere, are easily storable, require less capital, are more easily scaled due to lower training requirements and fewer regulations, etc etc.
Cars are communism.
The proof is in the pudding.

The shift to cargo bike logistics is great, but it requires a parallel shift in infrastructure.
When you replace a delivery van with a cargo bike, you are moving freight capacity from the road to the bike lane. If you don't expand the bike lane to handle it, you're just creating a bottleneck.

This would be a lot funnier if he showed any remorse for the journalist he disrespected in that apple-chewing moment (and the many others he’s attacked)
Without that, it just kinda feels like all the press and pundits cheering are saying “yeah that was fine, this is all a game”
