Remember to never ever vote for conservatives. They don’t care about safety. All they care about is the profits of their wealthy supporters in the auto, oil and other industries at the expense of our health and safety and the environment.

"Over the past 3 years, adding speed enforcement at 35 locations led to a 52% decrease in drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 25 km/h [...] Red-light infractions decreased by 13% and the number of repeat red-light offenders declined 29%." Automated cameras save lives!

The main reason 10th Ave is having so many problems during the Broadway detour is that this is what it looks like at the best of times. It's just a normal car road with no actual protected bike space and the bare minimum of traffic calming, most of which takes the form of ignorable signs.
We've been keeping up our advocacy on the Broadway closure and its effects on 10th Ave. TLDR: the number of stakeholders makes it complicated, but our advocacy is making a difference and we're going to keep pushing. Read more if you want the full details! visionzerovancouver.ca/2026/04/27/b...

Those of us who study the Theo Bros have long suspected a financial connection between them & the Tech Bros, but were unable to find it. Forbes just did. The connection is thru Marc Andreessen (who advises DOGE & is involved w/ Network States) & New Founding (led by Nate Fischer & Josh Abbottoy). 1/

With a backroom deal, Carney has bulldozed Canada’s remaining #climate policies and ignited a firestorm among #Indigenous communities across the country. It is a betrayal, for which future generations will pay. @richardbrooks.bsky.social at @stand.earth: ricochet.media/climate/the-... #Alberta
Blaming individuals for systemic problems not effective at solving systemic problems. The actual headline should be something like: Person walking killed by the refusal of the city to make the intersection safe and the refusal of the US Empire to make SUVs safe for people walking.

This happens every day with a collective shrug from most in NYC - particularly the cops and elected officials - while every single crime that happens in the subway is put under a microscope.

again, ignition interlocks are one of those things where there basically *really is* a technological solution to the problem that greatly mitigates that tradeoffs, and it's a policy failure that they aren't mandatory for five years after your first DUI.
“Drunk and drugged driving is now so common in car-centric California that drivers routinely rack up four, five, six DUIs. One woman in Fresno just got her 16th.”
