I don’t know who needs to hear this but you should try — within reason — to make personal choices that are better for society, even knowing that personal choices are not sufficient for addressing large systemic issues. Just be normal about it.

New feed alert! I'm developing a new feed, a version of the Highline feed that's _forward_ chronological. It holds your place (up to 24 hours back), and catches you up to not-quite-now on what you missed. Try it and let me know what you think.

You are absolutely right Mr. Carney that great cities need great public transit. That's why your government should fund ION light rail to connect Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge across the great rivers that divide them (Grand River, Speed River, Highway 401)
But seriously please fund ION expansion
But seriously please fund ION expansion
The REM is essential infrastructure — an automated light metro system across Greater Montréal that will connect more and more of the city as it grows.
Great cities have great public transit, and that’s what we’re investing to build more of across Canada in Budget 2025.

This is insane, full stop. This doesn't make a damn thing more efficient, it is just a way to destroy the institution of watershed conservation authorities so Doug Ford's buddies can wreck more havoc across this province
This is what Doug Ford thinks one of our seven new Conservation Authorities should be. For those playing along at home, there is a 1270km, 13.5 hour drive between Orillia and Thunder Bay.

A man (a crossing guard!) is dead at the hands of a dump truck driver, and the Mayor is here to tell us that people walking and cycling have "a role to play in keeping our community safe."
No, Andrea. The dump truck driver has to not kill people, and you have to not let him kill people. That's it!
