Erin O’Toole just delivered a brutal internal critique of Poilievre’s sneering, cynical, permanent-opposition style. Meanwhile Poilievre’s top strategist previously attacked O’Toole for wishing a Liberal well.

This is a lie. I was on the Danforth Saturday night, 24 hours after blizzard, & bike lanes were full of snow & car lanes clear. Sidewalks meh. This man makes things up to rage his way into the mayoral office. Tell your not-online friends & fam.
Brad Bradford is using his former bike riding credibility to curry favour w the anti bike folks and become mayor. 'Don't worry I used to ride a bike and I now hate bike lanes too' (for political gain). This guy is the worst.

I constantly hear in some planning circles that "speed isn't a big issue for new transit", downplaying issues with our new LRTs.

and yet today i heard sooo many riders, young and old, ask "why is it so slow?"

"transit should be frequent, reliable, and FAST" shouldn't be a hot take!

I believe we are doing "normal."

What voters want.
Went for a 30 minute walk.

1. Nearly hit by a car running a stop sign.
2. Nearly hit by a car running a red light (but got to see the flash of a red light camera. Small victories)
3. Nearly hit by a car turning on a red without stopping…8 seconds after incident #2.

What are we even doing anymore?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

most municipalities first move here would be to remove the bus stop rather than work towards making the crossing safer.

in toronto, our so-called "vision zero" program has pushed to remove TTC stops like this and hinder accessibility instead of making arterial roads safer
:(
This is an absolutely typical intersection for a pedestrian fatality, and where two people have been killed in a year.

-5 lane arterial
-No marked crosswalk or crossing signal
-No median refuge
-Long distances to signalized crosswalks (600' to E, 850't to W)
-Critically, bus stops on both sides
