#topoli #onpoli #biketo Watched tonight's direct action on Bloor West. Two observations: - Activists came from points east of the 'hood, reinforcing the fact that these lanes aren't used locally - Clogging the EB lane by slow-rolling in the middle will not "make friends and influence people" 🤣🤦

#topoli #onpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli #biketo I'm torn between choosing which is more satisfying: all the Leftie Regressives losing it over (1) Joni Mitchell becoming a US citizen, and (2) the Bloor West bike lanes finally being dismantled. What a great day to be alive!!!!

I love watching the T.O. lefties melting down about this - the same folks that cheered on Daley illegally bulldozing Chicago's Meigs Field in the middle of the night, disregarding democracy & the rule of law like a tin-pot dictator. Oh, but how DARE Ford use his legal powers here. #topoli #onpoli

Chris Kemp@cbkemp.bsky.social

Rural living has a larger per capita carbon footprint in nearly every way. Most food is still imported (and more red meat consumed), paved surface per capita much higher, logistics/fuel use much higher. If you look at "total" carbon, yes, urban areas are high, because there are far more people.

Replying to @thestar.com

A good analysis and acknowledgement that there's lots of nuance to this topic. However, one cannot deny that when the pie is bigger, there's more to go around. Having a lower GDP per capita means less opportunity for income redistribution. We should never settle for second-best. #canpoli #cdnpoli

These analogies are imperfect since they ignore lopsided equalization pmts, since AB is a net contributor, & QC & ON are net recipients. AB will gladly contribute an outsized share, so long as it is allowed to develop its economy to pay for it. But constraining it & still demanding $$$ is not on.

Here's another analogy... Say the feds decided to constrain hydro power due to landscape impacts. Quebec's main power source, the low electricity costs supporting its industries, & power export revs, are all threatened, risking Quebec's future prosperity. Would Quebec have a legitimate grievance?

Here's an analogy for context... Say the fed govt decided the finance industry (banks, insurance, etc), centred in Ontario (~7% of all jobs here) was bad & passed laws restricting activity & discouraging investment, threatening ON's future prosperity. Would ON have a legitimate grievance with feds?

denovocities.bsky.social@denovocities.bsky.social

Limited resources means having to prioritize/triage. Sidewalks for pedestrians, esp elderly, and roads so that transit and emergency vehicles can move, and trucks can resupply grocery stores, etc. Bikes can still share the cleared roadways, so clearing dedicated bike lanes isn't an urgent need.
