That was the summer transfer window 💰
Last year, if I had to guess what would be the batshit conspiracy theory of 2023, I would have NEVER guessed it would be ‘town planning where you can walk to the shops’
No more evidence that @RogersBiz and @Bell_LetsTalk are criminal than being able to turn on their outrageously priced “roam like home” plans via text but a ten minute phone call plus wait time to cancel. What a joke #cdnpoli @FP_Champagne
Do drivers realize that designing neighbourhoods where fewer people feel the need to drive everywhere will improve traffic for them? 15 minute city advocates aren’t trying to ban cars. We’re just trying to make walking, biking, and transit realistic options too.
Interesting maps on the evolving European identity. Eastern Europeans state a greater attachment to Europe. Budapest is the (only) region in Europe with a greater attachment to Europe than to country. 1/3
Counting deaths per VMT is a bit like counting deaths per cigarette. If the rate of smoking is going up, so do deaths even if deaths/cigarette are coming down. The number that matters is deaths/100K population. By that measure the US is 72nd (2018) worldwide, and falling.
It's fine to critique where the sewage from all this development is going to end up, but don't act like this is some overnight shift in thinking. The province has been planning on dumping York's waste in Lake Ontario for over two decades now. Infrastructure moves at a slow pace.
Very excited to be back at the annual #ttc @UnitedWay charity curling event after a pandemic hiatus. Big thanks to @larrylarry, @_echu , and @shaskill for organizing again. @HDR_Inc is proud to be a sponsor this year!
