While people keep yelling "downtown disorder", the unspoken and huge issue that hits businesses hard in #yyj is sudden and huge rent hikes. That is a disorder too, but it benefits a group of people who have a loud and $$$ voice, so we're not going to get hundreds of breathless editorials

Was the driver of the motor vehicle there or was it a fully autonomous motor vehicle that struck and killed a vulnerable child road user? #roadsafety #vulnerableroadusers #bcpoli

Ouroboros Age @ouroborosage.bsky.social · Jul 14

News outlets usually assuage driver agency or use passive voice. So few know how to say "a person on a bike participating in a bike race, was killed by a driver of a motor vehicle during the race"

Motor vehicles are weapons of serious injury and fatality on a regular day, but add speed and frustration to the mix along with shared roads during a bike race and we end up with preventable tragedies #roadsafety #vulnerableroadusers #closetheroads #GranFondo #bcpoli
