Holding strong opinions in the face of weak evidence is a sign that you're not thinking critically. Conviction should follow the facts, not precede them. What you want to believe shouldn't dictate what you believe. A key to lifelong learning is valuing curiosity over closure.

toronto may spend at least $90 million just to host a world cup in 2026 it cost $4 million to get 8.5 km of bus lanes in 2020 for $90 million, we could have ~190 km of bus lanes across our city. that would complete much, if not all of the 20 corridors part of rapidTO

Bicycles brought unprecedented freedom to many women, creating a change in restrictive clothing, independence of movement and were an iconic symbol of early feminism. #WomensArt

An 11 year old boy was hit by a driver with a car, while riding his bicycle on a cross-walk. Life threatened injuries. #ZeroVision actions. Cities must lower speeds, improve lights in intersections, have island in middle, allow enough time for all ages & abilities.

HUGE scoop by Emma McIntosh (same handle on the other app): “The 413 is more destructive than we thought" An internal report shows the Ford government’s proposed Highway 413 would cut through not just one conservation reserve as previously advertised but 3 ‼️ conservation areas. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-highwa… #onpoli

The pandemic is holding a mirror up to everything that is wrong with our society. Choosing to look away makes you complicit, not innocent.

Just to be clear, if we can afford to spend $290,000,000 to host five 2026 World Cup soccer games in Toronto, we can also afford to provide safe, affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness in Toronto...It's really a question of our priorities!

Cycling can be social. So make sure to build bike facilities wide enough for folks to ride side by side. #SocialCycling #Utrecht

New city cycling rankings. Toronto? 95! In North America!!! Shameful! Elected officials have NOT supported safe cycling, ever. Small improvement in pandemic. Staff is great, but council does NOT fund. #ElectionsMatter, this Oct. elect Mayor & Council to do citywide SAFE network.

As a Canadian: I won’t for one second think that what’s happening in the United States with #RoeVsWade can’t happen here…We must be vigilant. Take nothing for granted. Act like our basic human rights depend on it…Because they do.

Ever so accurate. "Every winter, fresh snow reveals how much we’ve over-designed our streets & roads for cars, making them faster & more dangerous, & how much space we could reclaim for people & public life" via Urban Cycling Institute 🚲 

Ford promised he’d never touch the Greenbelt. Conservative promise made. Conservative promise broken. He’s carving it up and it won’t build a single unit of the affordable housing people need. Add your name to stop Ford’s Greenbelt Grab: ontariondp.ca/stop-the-green… #onpoli
