this is absolutely glorious - mayor of quebec city slaps down a very silly question from a journalist about taxing cyclists

“This is not your grandpa’s CAA.” Great to hear an update on all the road safety initiatives from our frequent sponsor Canadian Automobile Association at the CARSP & Parachute #CARSP2024 in Ottawa this morning.

Polls by Ipsos commissioned by Parachute in 2021 and 2023 are showing that a growing number of Canadians mention road & infrastructure change as way to improve road safety. We know the evidence demonstrates this — good to see that people are catching on. #CARSP2024

Approaching the end of the first day of the CARSP Parachute road safety conference. Seeing some familiar faces from Mobycon Vélo Canada Bikes @envirocentre, Bike Ottawa and meeting many new people. Now listening to Nick Sully talking about protected intersections.
