You can help us stop live horse exports from Canada to Japan. Terrified draft horses flown in cramped wooden crates 8000km to be brutally slaughtered and eaten raw by wealthy people. This is a money grab by a bunch of vile people. Www.horseshit.ca

One of the most important columns Gary Mason has written. This country doesn't just have a forest fire problem - an air quality problem. Canada has a character problem. Read/retweet @garymasonglobe's latest column about Canada's character deficit. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

“Local stores next to the protected bike lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.” (plus they keep people safe.) Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane. #CityMakingMath Via @FastCompany. fastcompany.com/90182112/wan…

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

If the separated bike-lane isn’t built now, by this council, in a #ClimateCrisis when its clearly needed to save lives and will strengthen the street’s success, and when it’s MUCH cheaper, easier and a LOT less politically contentious, I have little faith it will be built later.

The politics of bike-lane construction in Vancouver has become more challenging, & frankly less fact-based, over the last few elections, with anti-bikelane rhetoric becoming more common. Vancouver decision-making & action has fallen behind other leading bike cities like Montreal.

Vancouver can “future proof” Broadway for what the street IS BECOMING, rather than what the street has been. The status quo parallel bike route won’t do that. And this isn’t bikes vs pedestrians — we know safe bike-lanes make ALL movement choices safer. usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Paul Stanley Schmidt was murdered in a senseless attack. His family is living a nightmare after a loving father and a dedicated husband was taken from them. British Columbians are united against this violence. Everyone deserves safety in their community.
