Good morning! Loving the newly-planted pollinator, pedestrian, and pedalling paths on the Lakeshore. Nice work #Toronto

"Twas a twinkle in the eye back in back in May 2020... then open for business on Dec 9, 2021. This project not only provides sustainable, GHG-free transportation for staff, but also a safe, COVID-19-friendly way to commute to work." @lisavanlint.bsky.social talkintrashwithuhn.com/2021/12/18/b... 2/

"Never waste a good crisis"-WC. Global volatility shows just how shaky oil can be. Time to #FireFossilFuels and go electric. #Heatpumps heat + cool electrically (mine did great this frigid winter). Watertanks, ovens, cars can plug in. Canada restarts #ElectricVehicle rebates Mar 31! Sweet timing!

Finally! Little things like this help cities get healthy and fun! So nice to walk to the corner store for milk, bread or ice cream. Not getting into a car for every little thing.

Yay! In a major #CanadaStrong move, say bye to those pesky interprovincial trade barriers! The deals started back in April, and the latest greatest today is Ontario-BC. That's like, half of Canada in 2 provinces. www.ontario.ca/page/economi...

Here's a pick-me up. Last year, I finally kept my resolution on pollution. Now that HOME REBATES ARE BACK, say goodbye to fossil fuels like natural gas, and hello to comfortable cost-effective climate action at home. (seriously, up to $7,500 back for an air-source heat pump!). bit.ly/42xY0WM

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

People may like "Axe the Tax" because it rhymes and they don't really get it. So I wrote some rhymes to explain it. Enjoy! #CarbonTax

Really enjoying the fact that this piece I wrote pushing back on the myths and misinformation about cycling in the city is getting traction here in Toronto but also across North America. Appreciate having @activetowns.bsky.social amplify my work. h/t @spacing.bsky.social @uoft.bsky.social #BikeTO

My glimmer of hope society will evolve so these could be the real covers.

Our American friends to the south are about to swear in their worst president (again!) on #BlueMonday, the most depressing day of the year. Take care of yourselves, friends, and take care of each other.

Court challenge launched against Ontario bike lane removal bill www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Longtime fan of the hilarious #NotJustBikes. They’ve taken on the bananas #Bill212 (bans bike lanes +sets Ontario back to the 50’s). Spoiler alert, bike lane noise covers the real goal, ramming a highway through the greenbelt and letting developers do their worst). youtu.be/KgFCQ7jEZxI

Live in Ontario? Healthcare worker? Upset by Bill 212? (dangerous bill to ram a highway through the greenbelt and remove existing bike lanes) Please sign this open letter from healthcare providers stating your opposition to Bill 212. urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

Worth waking up early

Just left X for a friendlier place. Feels like we could all use a little brightening so enjoy the view from my sunrise dog walk.
