“Survey after survey has shown that business owners overestimate how many customers drive to their stores vs walking or biking. In a 2012 Los Angeles study, more than half of the store owners on the bike-laned part of the boulevard thought most of their customers drove. The actual number was 15%.”

businessinsider.comI read all the studies on the economic impact of bike lanes. Here's what I learned.Research proves that bike lanes are good for business. So why do so many stores and restaurants still oppose them?

This fucking idiot and everyone in the Ford crime syndicate government needs to be launched directly into the fucking sun #Ontario #Canada

Shorter Jones: "We are CODIFYING something & while I'M SURE WE ALL FEEL A LOT OF EMPATHY, the decision to let someone GO AHEAD & DIE is made by SURGEONS & ETHICISTS & I'm wearing a PINK JACKET today over my partisan blue dress so I can seem like I care." #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/health/...

After letting a few private career colleges rip off the OSAP system with impunity, the Ford govt used the scam as an excuse to cut OSAP grants for all students, accusing them of wasting money on “basket weaving courses” & “fancy watches & cologne” www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #onpoli

thestar.comDoug Ford’s government could have tackled OSAP fraud. Instead it’s making students payOntario government's approach has left legitimate students as collateral damage.

Brad BradFORD want's to remodel Toronto Water, but deny it's privatization so people don't make the Walkerton comparison. But the result will be same corporate psychopathy and grift.

Aster Vérité@aster-verite.bsky.social

Hey Toronto, who wants to see a Walkerton repeat? Extrapolating for the difference in population, Brad Bradford's Harris redux could sicken 1.38 million & kill 4200 people. Sounds fun right? But the issue isn't just about a potential Walkerton style failure, it is about institutional rot.

In the last 3 years, Bradford has stood in the way of making Toronto a more affordable and liveable city. Please look at his voting record, and vote accordingly on Monday.

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

I can only assume they're referring to DoFo and Paul Calandra...

Cycling really is the answer to so many issues - hiding in plain sight

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

"As Premier Doug Ford readied his war on bike lanes, provincial bureaucrats raised facts refuting his core arguments and had to call in extra staff to deal with a blizzard of public feedback, according to internal records obtained by the Star."

“The end of acute infection is not necessarily the end of the disease”. I very much appreciate this comment in Nature highlighting the role of infectious disease in the development or exacerbation of chronic disease. Vaccines can prevent chronic diseases, which is often overlooked.

Folks, this should be concerning everyone. This government’s actions are not matching their words. This simple cutting red tape repeated response is getting old, very fucking quickly and quite frankly the red tape and a lot of these cases are there for a reason and shouldn’t be fucked with

Never in the history of Canada's Pest Control Products Act have changes to pesticide protections come from the Department of Finance. Until now. Today, Elizabeth May asked why these changes weren't coming from the Minister of Health. The answer? "We're cutting red tape."

The news networks are allowing the separatist representatives to spout nonsense. And like with perennial also-rans like Larry Heather, their goal isn’t to win; it’s to expand the reach and legitimacy of their message. It’s to hold everyone captive while we are forced to listen.

That was a long game. Doug and Dom LeBlanc spent almost a year in the US in 2024/25 selling Fortress Am-Can to the Republicans. They ran big advertising campaigns in the US, Doug was on US cable news every week. It says, in black and white, that Canada will protect and support US energy.

Oh Doug Ford - I guess that big mistake of cancelling all those wind and solar projects is coming home to roost now. And funny to think that most of the gas used to power the dirty gas power plants in Ontario is imported from the USA. In fact 75% . Elbows up! #onpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
