These are not accidents, these are results.

We are relieved to hear that nobody was hurt this morning during this incident. 11 Division has confirmed it was an impaired driver.

The store was closed when this happened (thank goodness).

Across Toronto, every day, drivers break the law by blocking intersections—and police say it’s something they hardly ever enforce.

My latest for Toronto Star is a look at the crack down efforts in motion for one of the biggest traffic chaos factors:

We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent.

I think we’re ready.

Canadian Climate Institute and Rick Smith clearly aren’t.

Are the 25 councillors + Mayor Olivia Chow ready?
