This situation is what provokes me to start making pasty "snacks" out of things like mayo, hot sauce, sweet pickles and garlic salt. 🤪

Let's normalize referring to parking as "car storage"

Seriously!? Then yes, any time is a good time to advocate!!

Yet another argument for Dutch-style continuous sidewalks.

Gotta admit it, I'm kinda proud of my prime minister today.

When motorists see road lanes like this, they think "ah, great, no traffic!" When they see bike lanes like this, they start ranting about government waste and entitled lycra-clad lefties.

Speaking as a former medical professional maybe it's a similar thing: the nature of the training selects for a certain type of applicant, and its substance and format nurtures a certain didacticism and style of problem-solving.

Agree. For me the power of a boycott isn't so much the effect on the company/nation. That's just a bonus. It's in the daily affirmation to myself and those in my sphere that this entity is engaged in things I fundamentally disagree with.

Lots of them here in small towns and rural areas of the BC interior

This ^ . I'm pretty darn rural, and my community members don't care about urban bike lanes 8 hours away. I do hear occasional complaints about difficulty parking in the very small city 90 minutes away. And we're begging for daily public transit and safe pathways for bikes here.

Given the challenges, I think I'm doing pretty well pushing 5 years of being locally car-free.

Walk score = 0, Bike score = 14

I've never been told ahead of publication what the headline was going to be, or the accompanying artwork, etc.

Not excusing the blocking, but on most media platforms it's the editors rather than the writers who create and control the headlines. I've certainly experienced articles I've written being given [imo] misleading headlines.

I recently did a Nutcracker on 2 rehearsals, and we were still sorting out cuts at intermission during the first performance 🤣

maybe team up with Mac Bauer runningmagazine.ca/the-scene/me...

I love this!

I help administer a Culinary Tool Library in my wee village. It works so well.

Sometimes I like to imagine how people would react if a city decided that the same principle applied to motor-lanes. Wonder how that would go over? 🤪

New data shows the world is embracing renewable energy. Canada can’t follow Trump’s fossil fuel obsession North America at risk of becoming an island of fossil fuels in an electrifying world. Canada should take note and choose a better path.

New from me, Rick Smith, and Peter Nicholson.

“Our policy advice is pretty simple: Clean up electricity and electrify everything possible. This is the nation-building project Canada needs…”

Off-year election - Wikipedia

Generally the "small potatoes" elections (a few state-level races, a few referenda, lots of mayoral races). But they often provide a first indication of which way the wind is blowing. And geez, the NYC mayoral race has been amazing!

The responsibility for educating the privileged about the marginalization of others should not be *forced* upon marginalized groups. If willingly and generously undertaken, that's awesome, imo.

Word!

100! Imagine if cities deemed that it was the responsibility of homeowners, tenants and business owners to shovel the roads in front of their locations, like they do with sidewalks.

I live in a tiny town and visitors and their $ come here in order to enjoy a simpler, slower pace of life. Which means likely arriving by car, but then walking or cycling to get around, kids roaming safely, getting groceries on foot etc.. Visitors are good for business, not traffic.

I have a frame/"café" lock with an integrated chain lock (A-Bus). I really like the combination of the two. Together they are suitable for most scenarios.

The 'right' to store your vehicle for free -- or at subsidized rates considerably less than what, say, housing of equivalent sq.ft. would cost -- on public or private in close proximity to whatever businesses or services you might choose to visit.

Adidas Five Ten Freeriders maybe?

Waiting for your mom or your brother isn't self-patience. (And homeschooling certainly doesn't remove a kid from contact with others!)

But I'm just pointing out that just like homeschooling isn't superior because it's time-efficient, schooling isn't superior because it teaches kids patience.

Also the idea that learning patience requires 25 hours a week of practice for 13 years straight seems like a bit of a stretch.

There are many natural family-life ways to learn patience. Growing a garden, killing time while mom feeds the baby, waiting for your brother to finish his turn on the computer, practicing scales to get better at the piano. Just because lots of kids learn it in school doesn't make it the only way.
