What would happen if the millions of people who bike, walk, or take transit every year decided to start driving? The city would grind to a halt.

Drivers should be lobbying for protected infra and expanded transit, ironically, as it would lead to fewer cars "getting in the way".

Seems worth repeating…
(Or walking, or riding public transit…)

@CheriDiNovo @fordnation There’s much evidence that mandates do not work at this point in a pandemic. Those of us keeping our masks ON know that we are protecting our loved ones and our community. Those who don’t….never bought in. Personal risk assessment is what scientists are telling us is critical.

Today, more than 150 housekeepers at Burnaby General & Eagle Ridge hospitals work their first shifts as Fraser Health employees after nearly 20 yrs working for private contractors. More than 4,000 HCWs will be brought in-house by year's end. #bcpoli #solidarity

“Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity." - Lewis Mumford, 1955. Arguably the most important quote in city-building. READ @BrentToderian’s @planetizen post.

For those of you relentlessly sending me links trying to discredit vaccines, here's some science to consider.

@JeffreyLuscombe Why start now?

Thoughts with my family and friends on the North coast. A night of very heavy rainfall has seen the Wilson's river reach the top of the levee bank in Lismore at 10.6m, the second flood in a month when people have already lost everything. Eltham road near Clunes yesterday.

[The Sydney Morning Herald @smh]

The flood-ravaged city of Lismore has been evacuated and Byron Bay’s main street is under water following more drenching rain in northern NSW. We're blogging the latest developments: https://t.co/y01JovtE2V

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

I’m usually a pretty consistent supporter & applauder of Metro Vancouver’s public transit provider @Translink, but raising transit rates & removing the mask mandate on transit, while trying to attract people back to public transit at this point in the pandemic, are both mistakes.

@ianhanomansing I wish masks were still mandatory on transit. Buses are crowded.

@CanadianPolling No!
