A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

This is a wise move on Finland’s part. Hopefully, it won’t be too expensive.
Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.
This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

@nolore.bsky.social Hey Nora. That was a great podcast you and Sandy did on yesterday’s federal budget. I agree with you two that the budget is meh at best, problematic at worst.
I don't think it's bad enough for the average Canadian to take to the streets, though.

Wab Kinew's gov't tabled bill 50 in Manitoba that won't allow any future provincial gov't to use the notwithstanding clause for provincial legislation without going through the courts first. This is what a true leader does for his constituents. Alberta's and Quebec's leadership pale in comparison.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Tim Cook.
One of Canada's best historians, his books were fantastic. He was nice enough to give me a tour of the Canadian War Museum where he was the chief historian.
A truly great Canadian.

Epic fail NPR! I expected better from you.
Genuinely shocking levels of institutional rot going on in the US. The push to 'both sides' every question has left fucking National Public Radio to say "hey maybe tylenol really does cause autism, many people are asking questions"

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

I have no idea how Ford came to this conclusion. What if Carney tells him to “drop it” (which there is a good chance of happening)?
