@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyAnti-bike asshole throws nails and tacks into bike lane, today in Toronto; drivers say "not all drivers".
Driver runs a red light; drivers say "not all drivers".
Cyclist runs a red light; drivers say "all cyclists."
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyIt makes me so sad to live in a place that values expensive deadly SUVs over human life.

@rzaichkowski.bsky.socialReposted by @c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gySome construction crews did show up at Bloor and Green Lanes, but they just left. We still need to stay vigilant and call out ATS Traffic for their role in endangering those who bike. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gy@bobjonkman Interesting, thanks for sharing!
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyRemember how one of the most surprising COVID-19 symptoms was losing one's sense of taste, or smell? I think I may have a weird Long COVID symptom: my sense of smell is short-circuiting. Regularly (at least monthly), when exposed to some smells, the smell stays "live" in my nose, and I continue […]
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gy@jerome I'm not clear on this actually. The websites I found don't make this explicit, so it could be that funding is entirely separate from how you are listed now?

@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gy@jerome Oh there's interesting - I would have hoped that franco-ontarien voters would stay in that lane to show support for the French school system and school funding. Just in case you're not aware, you retain eligibility to vote for French Public trustees for life, regardless of family members […]

@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyI strongly support reelecting Olivia Chow over that power-hungry unprincipled turncoat Ford Fordford McFordington. That said, holy cow they have turned up the vote reminder volume. Two calls and a text just in the last hour. I’m starting to worry.
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyToday’s the last day for advance voting. I was in and out in 30 seconds. #VoteTO
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyDo you like doing surveys about transportation? Researchers at McGill are looking at the ways people get around their cities and regions - if you're interested, check it out!
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyThis is the same discussion as autonomous vehicles - "oh no we have no way to ever charge a computer with murder for running down pedestrians, so I guess we better give up". This is not complicated.
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gyLet's see ol' blinky wiggle their way past this one!
@c-9.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gy“Wine in the Wilderness” at Canadian Stage tonight was lovely. Congrats Jamar Adams-Thompson, Mazin Elsadig, Virgilia Griffith, Andrew Moodie, L.A. Sweeney, and director Jordan Laffrenier on your wonderful show […]
