I’ve advised Helsinki, Finland a few times in the past, and among the many conversations I’ve had with the Finns, we’ve talked about what it’s like to live right next to an aggressive dictatorship like Russia.

I’m not the first one to say it, but Canada needs to be vigorously learning from Finland.

Bike-friendly cities are family-friendly cities!
