bikes make everything better

utterly ridiculous.

[How-Sen @HowSenChong]

It’s ridiculous that the non-payment fine for taking up 6 sqft of space on the TTC is $425…

… but the non-payment fine for taking up 150 sqft of street space parking an empty car is just $75.

Amazing!

In partnership with Cycle Toronto, Waterfront BIA is hosting a free 10-day bike valet service from July 5th - 15th (8:00 am to 10:00 pm) at Rees and Queens Quay.

We'll look after your bike while you enjoy all the waterfront has to offer. See you there!

There is no Georgian Bay Metis Community, and any person/group that claims to represent it is not legitimate.

Any land that their so called community sits on is Anishinabe territory.

The only Indig community that exists in this area is Beausoleil FN. https://t.co/cb2Xu6jTmE

“You got to give this one up” Premier Ford tells me when I ask him if he was aware of ServiceOntario changes. Last week he says “None of us delt with it” Without answering that question or where the business case is, Ford instead said “Buddy, you got to get a new story”

seems legit @AylanX

Media plays a role in shaping perceptions of traffic violence.

If it's not victim-blaming, it's killer-downplaying. Here’s how journalists tend to report on traffic violence:

📰 "The pedestrian, who may have been distracted by their phone, died at the hospital."

📰 "The cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, will be buried Friday."

📰 "The driver, who remained at the scene, fears they will suffer nightmares."

📰 “Police officers, who tried to console the driver, said drugs and alcohol did not appear to be factors.”

Anyone who considers themselves a safety advocate needs to understand that details like bike helmets, earbuds, flip-flops, and dark clothing aren’t the issue. Motorists are the issue.

People are slamming their cars into people who are walking and bicycling, and the societal response sounds like an Eeyore whimper, if that.

It’s not a journalist’s fault that someone drove too fast, lost control, and clipped a bike. But the reporting—the story framing—makes all the difference in how people react to the tragedies.

Maybe if we start categorizing public safety reporting as a culture war issue, it’ll get the attention it deserves.

The chickens of Canada's faux reconciliation have come home to roost and the world has noticed.

Canadian universities, museums and galleries have been cynically using Indigenous pain to prop up their failing, underfunded institutions.

What is really imperative at this time is to hold Saxe to account for these actions; it is only HER ward where there has been mass organized evictions since 2021. Call her office, email, and let her know that you do NOT approve of displacing encampment residents w nowhere to go.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Important: There have been no mass #encampment evictions in @cityoftoronto since 2021 — until now. The eviction happening tomorrow morning is in @DianneSaxe's ward, and she is absolutely its architect. Hold her to account!

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Yes: drivers don't pay for roads. Property taxes pay for municipal roads.

If I ride my bike every day I pay the same taxes for roads as I do if I drive every day.

Cycling is low impact - on the road, on city space, on our air quality.

If you drive, thank a cyclist.

My fellow settlers, I want to gently suggest this is not the time for us to be weighing in on the Buffy St. Marie story.

Allow the people who are directly affected time to process this. Sit back and listen to what they have to say.
