When police talk about pedestrian "visibility", they're giving drivers permission to act like this.
Driver found 100% responsible.
But how often do we hear this argument about "shared responsibility" from police and authorities?

SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE.

If Victoria amalgamates with Saanich expect more like this. Increases in taxes for downtown areas to pay for services in suburban areas that don’t generate enough revenue to self-support. 7/8/9 are Halifax’s core.
Our elected representatives are spending a non-trivial amount if today figuring out how to reduce services and increase the relative tax burden of Districts 7, 8, and 9.

Gas Free CRD is a goal we can hit in a couple years. Let's do it!
‼️New polling shows people in BC:
• worry about climate change (78%)
• want the #BCgov to act more (79%)
• want more oversight of FortisBC to shift away from #naturalgas (61%)
Getting gas out of buildings addresses all this.

Cyclists and pedestrians, including children, are routinely put directly in harm's way by dangerous street design that prioritizes car-owner convenience.
And yet the police very rarely even admit this, let alone call for infrastructural interventions that would enable safety.

Cops intervene to discourage benches, footpaths, cycle lanes etc as all these encourage people interacting with one another.
The more the police is involved, the less community we get, the worse the loneliness crisis becomes.
