To get better walking, biking, and transit in a place like Canada, most people you need to convince are drivers (at least sometimes). And if you succeed, current drivers will walk, bike, take transit more often.
So "us vs them" rhetoric about driving might be appealing but IMHO is counterproductive

“Last year the province administered 750,000 doses — largely to people over 50 years of age. This year the province has ordered only 485,000 doses, a 30 per cent reduction. That means a quarter of the population, again mostly the elderly, that wants the vaccine will not find it available.”
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who revived her ailing political career by peddling conspiratorial COVID theories, has designed a program that is not only punitive but discriminatory, bureaucratic and Soviet in nature, writes Andrew Nikiforuk.

"A proud feeling? That's a bike ride away!"
The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure launched a new TV ad to encourage people to take their bike instead of the car for short journeys. Whatever the occasion or weather conditions!

Tonight's Mass will end up at Sandy Beach. Conditions for roads seem to be mostly dry but there may still be sneaky ice patches, especially once we hit the park. Hardly wait to see you all! #yycbike

A brilliant article on how promoting road schemes (dualling, extensions, bypasses) appear as logical technical solutions but sustainable transport schemes are framed as political choices.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
