If I was going to vote “yes” on a budget that included explicit language about cuts to TTC services, I likely wouldn’t then hop on Twitter 2 weeks later and complain about those cuts, but that’s just me I guess.

Hey Jordan Heath-Rawlings the intro to The Big Story Podcast today was SO good. Had me completely hooked from the jump. Well paced, well produced. Kudos to the whole team. It’s noticed and appreciated how good the show is from top to bottom.

What a great study in contrasts - see both tweets. This is a school zone before/after #SchoolStreet program. Which one do you want for your kids? #WalkToSchool #BikeToSchool #NorthVan

We’ve chosen to foist the responsibility for children’s safety onto parents at the same time as we’ve made existing as a child in public spaces increasingly deadly through larger, faster vehicles that are allowed to go everywhere. It’s the worst trade off we’ve ever made imo.

Look how few cars there are driving on this road We should definitely draw broad conclusions about how much people like cars from this one photo of a partially completed road network

What “lesson” does something like this teach a child? That the power structures in place don’t care about their feelings. That the state will go to excessive lengths to be cruel. That working hard to find a reasonable alternative doesn’t matter.

Telling people to ride their bike 1-3 streets over is never considered an inconvenience. Asking people to park a block away from their destination is an unbelievable attack on innocent motorists
