Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Doug Ford’s Ontario Govt plan to ban bike lanes “is ripped from the business lobby’s wish list…Ford’s war on bikes is more than a vendetta—it’s a gift to corporate lobbyists.”

It’ll make Ontario’s cities weaker, less competitive, more polluted, & more dangerous for everyone. AND the traffic worse.

It’s market manipulation, not an actual response to anything. Much as the 75 million would be better served in almost any way, Trump is going to Trump.

Imagine if we held a Christmas market in… the ByWard Market and made it a vibrant #PlaceForPeople, saw attendance and retail sales bloom and built on this success to create a #BetterByWard

Dred Scott and Peoples United are in the lead for dumbest, but that one is top ten I think.

Nothing says “meh” like a green PVC roof as “nod to the parliament buildings”

Talk about grasping for straws. (Flips desk)

Am I the only one who thinks that the part the Republicans are afraid of with the Trump/Epstein files isn’t who is in them, but who funded the operation. Those two jackasses had a *lot* of money sent their way to make this operation work.

Count me in.

Imagine if #OttCity invested in e-bike rebate (say, $1000 per bike, x 1000/year); that’s a rounding error in the city budget but would lift 1000 ppl per year with better transit options; make income based; create secondary stream for youth; add cargo bikes; expand w/better bike infra and bike share

the best answer i got for this:

"The single most important behaviour, design or regulation for creating streets conducive to walking and cycling, was physical separation between the modes"

We've got a new study out, learning from a broad mixture of street users, planners and designers

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

And the front lawn is the best place to play frisbee downtown.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Maybe if Medicare paid enough, rural hospitals could survive a downturn. Just a thought.

I think the only reason the evil bastards went after Tylenol is to punish women. It’s the only safe painkiller for pregnant women, so let’s stop them from using it. That simple. Prove me wrong.

I know you know this, but.

It's to mock us.

It's a dominance play.

It's about rubbing it in our face that they are Nazis, daring us to accurately call them Nazis, then getting us fired & on lists for telling that truth.

They can do whatever they want. We do what they say. That's the lesson.

And watch as left leaning creators get shadow banned and alt right creators will be amplified. The algorithm will make it a visual version of the nazi infested swamp that used to be called twitter. TiXtoX is going to suck.

Lucy holding the football and the Democratic Party asking progressives for trust seems to be an appropriate analogy.

"Turning a wide, underused, four- or five-lane stretch of downtown into a linear park sounds radical. But maybe it shouldn’t be. Maybe it’s just what a city does when it decides that children — and by extension, everyone else — deserve space to move, to play, and to belong."
