So we’ve got Doug Ford saying he was 100% thrilled Trump won the election, we’ve got Poilievre’s CPC saying Canadians being patriotic because of Trump is a problem for the CPC campaign, and there’s Danielle Smith enjoying brunch crepes at Mar-a-Lago.

There’s a very credible fiscal policy case to be made for “paying” (which can happen through many kinds of mechanisms) people to bike to work. Investing in safe bike infrastructure and providing financial incentives to ride rather than drive saves and makes public money. HT @momentummag.bsky.social
Here is Why Governments Paying People to Bike to Work Makes Sense
All that is required to make a massive modal shift is safe cycling infrastructure and an incentive, why not paying people to bike to work?
