There’s a quiet culture change happening in Halifax. I think it’s most obvious at #KidicalMassHfx, where you can see “all the cool bikes,” but it’s also evident on an average Sunday afternoon at the pool. The culture of family cycling and cargo bikes is growing steadily and it’s wonderful to see!

Various bikes and cargo bikes, including a frontloading cargo bike and a longtail parked at bike racks next to a splash pad on the Halifax Commons. A group of bikes and cargo bikes, including a longtail, a frontloading cargo bike & a cargo trike at bike racks next to the skate park under redevelopment on the Halifax Commons. The trike has a sign advertising Kidical Mass Halifax. A midtail cargo bike has a sign on the back that says “bike good mayor bad”Close up of the front rack of an Aventon Abound longtail cargo bike. There’s a stick in it that says “I sold my car”

Alberta hasn't banned US alcohol imports. People here aren't buying it anyways. The debate over whether provincial governments should be banning it misses the actual point, which is that Canadians don't want to buy it in the first place. #cdnpoli

Christopher Nolan's nearly three-hour epic The Odyssey was shot entirely using 70-mm Imax film — the first film in history to do so.

Cops measurably stopped enforcing traffic laws during COVID and never started again. We instantly lost over a decade of progress, and saw a huge increase in deadly/unsafe driving as a result.

it's fucking insane that so many people get away with hiding their license plates so that they can get away with running red light cameras and cops mostly don't care (I'm sure some of them do on their personal vehicles too). like this is something where broken windows policing actually makes sense.

"The driver of the vehicle was issued a summary offence ticket for not having a valid inspection sticker." I'm struggling with this one. A pillar of the community killed by a driver, a family mourning. The system's response feels grotesquely inadequate #VisionZero www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Back in 2017 dooring legislation was proposed in the new TSA but not sure about the adapted one, which was supposed to be in force from early 2026 but isn't. I haven't seen draft road user regs released either novascotia.ca/changes-to-t...
