Hey. Hi. Hello.

If you've ever griped about the cost of gas, having to pay for parking, or being stuck in rush hour traffic? If you have, check out my channel all about getting around (Halifax) by bike.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Comparing Canada's current fiscal situation to 1995 is also missing a big part of the picture: www.imf.org/external/dat... - in 1995, we were *far above* peer countries in terms of debt:GDP. The subsequent decade brought us down into the pack, and we've stayed there ever since.

That was a good VIA rail trip. About an hour late on the return trip, which is essentially nothing compared to what's typical (especially when you know in advance).

Just kidding, the digital and paper issue will both be available tomorrow morning.

In it, @acbzw.bsky.social writes about the provincial overreach in city planning.

Finally got around to playing with TransLink realtime GTFS data. Kind of fun. Transit in Vancouver is looking pretty good, especially considering this is an hour midday on a holiday weekend, with some lines not running (hello 44) and not all buses reporting real-time information.

Cloudy and calm. Agawa Canyon Park, ON, Canada.
A a mountainside covered in green pine trees, yellow, orange, and light green deciduous trees meets a calm river. Puffy gray clouds overhead and the colors along the banks are reflected in the water’s surface.
