Road infrastructure over the next five years: $650,000,000

Bike infrastructure over the next five years: $93,000,000

One of these budgets is being heavily scrutinized for fiscal responsibility.
Currently the free extras for drivers are substantial, and folks not driving are subsidising the huge costs of driving.
However drivers imagine they are subsidising the "huge" costs of bike lanes.

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going!

No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

Jesse Marsch has explored the possibility of having Tristan Blackmon on the #CanMNT according to @JeffreyCarlisle.

However, he hasn’t been with Vancouver for 5+ years and likely wouldn’t be eligible for Canadian citizenship until 2027.

A bus route can have the widespread nickname of "Sufferin Dufferin" but some people will still be like we can't sacrifice a few parking spaces.

All the focus on 89 for good reason but I think Hunter Brzustewicz has also looked good in his minutes. Doesnt look over matches, using his boot well. Nice start for 48.

Kudos to everyone in the dome for being loud, awesome, and supporting the players even through the third and beyond tonight. Loved seeing the energy. #Flames

Starting to think we gotta make the playoffs next year. If this is a 2-3 year plan, don't want to show up with a competitive team in 3 years full of kids with no playoff experience. #Flames

In maybe the Most Canadian story ever, two political parties (the NDP and Bloc Québécois) are asking that tomorrow's French language election debate be postponed because it conflicts with a Montreal Canadiens game.

The #Flames took care of business last night against the Wild meaning their path to the postseason just got a whole lot clearer.

If STL or MIN loses in regulation, they control their own destiny 🤞

#Flames coach Ryan Huska, on Zayne Parekh:

"Zayne's been here for a pre-game skate. This is his second pre-game skate. He's going to play games and he's going to have a long career, but we want to make sure he's in the position where he's ready to roll, for one, understand how we play the game..."

Imagine if people went viral for advances in treating animal diseases instead of treating animals like bespoke novelties. We need one-shot, non-surgical contraceptives for stray cats, not glow-in-the-dark rabbits and fake dire wolves.

Ultimately we deserved to lose. Frustrating lineup decisions & the team didn't come out ready to play. Also this might be controversial but we need to find a way to work Choiniere into the starting 11, he's the only one who can deliver a f*cking corner. #CanMNT

NEW: Daniel Jebbison sees himself as an instant fit for the #CanMNT.

After returning from health issues, he's prouder than ever to represent Canada and is ready to fight for the "fastest team" he's ever seen.
