If I learn from my mistakes, then I'm now a genius. Opinions are only valid when powered by critical thinking. Open minds, canoes and bicycles make me happy.
Personally, I'm much happier seeing this in my downtown Toronto hotel room than the one from the Gideon crowd.
Congrats Michael Crummy, you've hit the big times! 😁

If I go see Marty Supreme at the movie theater, would it be socially acceptable if I booed out loud when Keven O'Leary is on the screen?

If no one holds you to account for your actions, your actions are not illegal.
We should stop saying they are illegal, and adjust our lives accordingly.
That's my current thinking but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

If I get hit by this vehicle, I will end up under it and surely die. The same fate for any smaller vehicle that it hits as well.
Seriously, we need to rein in the size of the vehicles on our shared streets.

It's probably a good thing that the Blue Jays didn't win the World Series 💔. Canada avoided another reactionary tariff increase by the US.

Imagine being someone who speeds a lot, knowing it can and does kill people… kids, parents, anyone.
Imagine hating a public policy (speed cameras) that’s proven to make those people safer— safer from YOU— because your law breaking costs u money, so you rant that it’s a “cash cow.”
So, is that you?

“The Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.
Ford says it will make the province more efficient & reduce red tape.
It won’t do either, and he knows it.
It might get him “speeder votes” though.
This will kill more people.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally.

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed
Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.
