Halifax's shared e-bike, scooter pilot causing some accessibility issues, say advocates | CBC News The devices are supposed to be taken from and dropped off in specific parking areas, but there have been instances of them obstructing pathways.

I want to see the same breathless reporting for pickup trucks parked on the sidewalk.

pros and cons list of Putting in protected mobility lanesPros reduce fatalities, reduce injuries, more people biking, less pollution, economic boost, less congestion, healthier population, kids biking/rolling to school, safer sidewalks, helps address the climate emergency, increase active transportation, more inclusive spaces. Cons: A driver might get mad.

If only the pros outweighed the cons.

Cycling coalition β€˜flummoxed’ by Halifax mayor’s proposed pause on bike-lane projects The Halifax Cycling Coalition is not happy with Mayor Andy Fillmore’s efforts to pause new bike-lane projects.

"[If] you look at the worst choke points in Halifax, the Armdale roundabout, the Windsor Street exchange and North Street, none of these have bike lanes, so bike lanes are just an easy scapegoat for the congestion that’s caused by cars."

Carney’s brain vs. Trump’s lies.

This articles doesn’t say Carney wouldn’t meet with Tr**p. He seems to accept he needs to meet with him β€œon our terms”. Possibly regarding oil, fertilizer, car parts, security, or all of the above.

You’re going to have to send me the link to where Carney said he 100% would not meet with the orange blob because my search could not find it.

Carney did go other places. He did make other deals with other countries. Sometimes diplomacy necessitates sitting and keep your mouth shut. Sometimes resistance involves looking your aggressor in the face.

This meeting had to happen for diplomatic reasons. And the orange blob will never respect anything.

He didn’t bend the knee. What are you talking about? What would you have done differently? Walk me through your course of action.

Poilievre’s actual announcement today is his pledge (which is in the Conservative platform) to get rid of Canada’s electric vehicle sales mandate.

The mandate requires that by 2026, 20% of new cars sold have to be electric (100% by 2035).

Yup.
Now we are going to take the fight to the malignant, narcissistic slug.

Here are the Liberal vs Conservative platforms regarding Healthcare, Reproductive Rights, and Climate. I didn’t create these & if I knew the creator was on BlueSky, I’d tag her because she’s done these for every issue. Science is clearly evident on the red side.

I would argue it is on the ballot because of the way Carney speaks about scientific issues.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."
