Article très tendancieux. J'habite juste à côté de la Vitrerie St André. Ça fait des années que je ne vois jamais personne dans ce commerce. C'est pas la piste cyclable qui les a fait fermer.

Il n'y a aucune raison valable pour faire un "audit" des pistes cyclables à Montréal. Une fois construites, elles sont utilisées et c'est parce qu'elles sont sécuritaires! Est-ce qu'on va faire un audit des voies automobiles, pour savoir lesquelles sont dangereuses?

Un graphique qui dit tout | Le REV Saint-Denis, une piste cyclable qui atteint des sommets
Le vélo a été un sujet polarisant dans la dernière campagne municipale à Montréal. Pourtant, les pistes cyclables montréalaises n’ont jamais été aussi utilisées.

A big study in JAMA last year in which 185 909 children were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Conclusion: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis.

I was on a H1B visa while I was finishing my postdoc training in Columbia University in NYC in 2012! If that will be today, I will have to pay 100K$! 🤯
Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.
