Vraie question: si l'association des commerçants soutient une piétonnisation à l'année sur Duluth, quelles sont les barrières ? Il n'y a de ligne de bus à ce que je sache. 🧐

The extremist Netanyahu government is wreaking havoc across the middle-east.
The Canadian government should be using all of its diplomatic weight to demand a ceasefire and peace talks.

Bombs raining down on Beirut tonight. Children will die. Parents too. The survivors will have nightmares for the rest of their lives. Vital civilian infrastructure will be destroyed. This has nothing to do with hostages. Or Oct 7. Or terrorists. Your government supports this.

Je ne peux pas croire que la CAQ a autorisé des activités d’exploration minière aux abords du Parc national des Grands-Jardins.
La CAQ va à l’encontre de la MRC de Charlevoix, de la MRC de Charlevoix-Est, du conseil municipal de Saint-Urbain et de Tourisme Charlevoix, qui ont tous donné des avis défavorables à cette autorisation.
Le Parc des Grands-Jardins constitue une aire centrale de la Réserve mondiale de la biosphère de Charlevoix, reconnue par l’UNESCO.
Nous ne laisserons pas la CAQ saccager notre précieux territoire.

20th century urban planning changed the concept of a street from a place to pass time to a place to pass through.
21st century planning is about reversing that mindset and prioritizing people living in a city over cars driving through it.

Camilien-Houde sans autos sera un succès. On se demandera par la suite comment il a été permis pendant autant d’années que l’emblème de Montréal soit mutilé par un raccourci routier.
A glimpse of voie Camilien-Houde as a park promenade. Temporary transformation during the Grand Prix Cycliste. Would be great to create more opportunities to allow people to experience this path on foot sans cars. #polmtl @MTL_Ville @lemontRoyal

Êtes-vous surpris ❓
On a permis aux automobilistes de se stationner quelques minutes avec les lumières sur Sainte-Catherine.
Quelques années plus tard, c’est devenu une voie de stationnement gratuit.
Tu peux mieux faire Montréal …
And for parking in a reserved bus lane, crosswalk or bike lane, could the SPVM give out $600+ tickets to those folks? montreal.ctvnews.ca/montreal…

"The part of the family that doesn't know how to use apostrophes vs the schoolteacher" is probably not the contrast they were going for.
