Good night everyone. I need to rest, then I will write tomorrow. It was an unexpectedly busy night for me. Thank you everyone for using the work I provide. If you wish to see more local coverage, please become a patron of my work. [Serious, I need to grow and hire in the coming year] #yhmvote

Hello everyone, My websites are extremely busy right now. Apologies for the slow load times. There are thousands of visits at a time being reported by my server. Thank you for using my webapps for results. (I've maxed out my VPS, I cannot add capacity quickly.) #yhmvote #HamOnt

I have live results, with clean visuals, now on HamiltonVotes.ca The City has not yet begun feeding data. #yhmcc #HamOnt

…and it doesn’t and they don’t. Developing 100 units? In the US that’ll get one, maybe two elevators. In Switzerland they’re cheap so they’ll break the site up into separate point access blocks and buy eight elevators.

Happy Election Day, #HamOnt! Polls are open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Don't skip the school trustee section of your ballot! If you want to know more about the people running for trustee in your ward, check out my handy 2026 School Trustee Candidates factsheet here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

more likely you just can't find any of them bc of the way you sort your dates 😡

Some (engineers) hate that I keep making these videos. So be it. Here you can see acoustic foam like @ the nightclub 😱 vs a falling apart (!) offcut of a straw insulation board, worst case scenario! Fires are always bad. Choose your surroundings wisely. Fossil fuel based materials ARE a stupid idea.

"I'm an avid cyclist but"

Good, concise summary on the R290 situation. Opaque industry regulatory bodies are holding back a safe option that should let us heat and cool our homes more efficiently

This election will be decided by turnout. The richest, greediest, most selfish cranks in this city will definitely vote, so it's up to us to make sure we get a government that actually represents the people.

No to the Nine resonated pretty strongly in Alberta's two big cities. Different story outside them. The urban/rural/small cities split remains a feature of our province.

you know how sidewalks and bike lanes are routinely blocked so that construction companies can put up signs warning drivers of road closures? turns out if you want to just set up in the middle of a school crosswalk with no safety controls or humans present, that's also fine

This is very, very impressive.

what if we paused agricultural every winter to save on the energy required to grow literally every calorie in a heated greenhouse with artificial light?

cars, like guns, turn ordinary and unfortunate conflicts into deadly / murderous interactions (unlike guns, cars also routinely create said conflicts)

This virtual private clinic in BC charges exorbitant fees for basic blood tests that are publicly covered. A core part of the sales pitch is lying about how testing works in the public system. Preventative routine screening IS COVERED - this is essential primary care that FPs/NPs do regularly.

I have to do a home repair project today that requires buying PVC plumbing supplies. It sucks that I spent all these years running my mouth about bikes. Now I need to go buy a truck before the project can begin.

and it's not like traffic cameras were ubiquitous. Toronto had like 50 across 1000s of kms of roadway. we were barely trying them!

One thing I can't get over is that the cycle tracks hardly affect drivers at all: travel times and parking are only marginally different and they still get their pointless removal wish granted. They saved lives and doubled cycling and it just doesn't matter. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

power laws and vice data, name a more iconic duo

I think it should be illegal to put booster rockets on cars

important to remember that the point of all of this is so a handful of AI firms can race to grab the biggest share of the market and monopolize their space. we could be doing this at 1/100th the scale of we wanted to

"In our research at Cleanview, we keep coming across developers that are using jet engines to power their data centers" Fun to read a sentence like that and it's just normal in 2026 lnkd.in/p/eju6Mn_j

It has been brought to our attention that it is entirely possible Doug Ford does not understand that a podcast called "The War on Cars" might be in favor of things like protected bike lanes.

each time lasted 2 months

"where Doug Ford regularly goes" is the best predictor of provincial policy. * highway to Muskoka * private jet access from queens park to Ottawa via billy bishop * tunnel under 401 for motorcades * absolutely no bike lanes I could ever see * no tolls (407 is fine, I have tunnel)

If you're not a member of Cycle Toronto, sign up now. They have given us a unified voice and a direction for action and the value for membership dollars is unparalleled.

Moar! Moar!

goodby emmett

you could not make a stronger argument in this direction that Bloor / University and the activist campaigns that achieved them 🤡🤡

I'm so proud to say I was blocked by emmett for pointing out that we invented "mittens" and "toques" to deal with the cold

AB government shooting themselves in the foot, but through Edmonton's foot first.

AB Premier Danielle Smith announces the province is forcing Edmonton to reverse its infill housing rules, because why would you want an example of market-driving housing affordability in your small-government province? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjx2...

Canada is just two jokes about conservatives and provincial governance in a trenchcoat

"We don't like tall towers and really big developments. Also, and this is key, we don't like small proposals and gentle density. Oh, almost forgot, we want everything to be affordable, but you better believe we're also against those initiatives too."

Holy shit.
