“Both Russian and pro-Trump U.S. actors are amplifying and spreading misinformation about Alberta separatism in the hope of fraying Canadian unity and sowing distrust.” An overt attack on Canadian sovereignty, meant specifically to manipulate Canadians. That’s what’s fuelling Alberta separation.

We have choices. We can bankrupt our transportation system repairing car roads. We can buy giant vehicles for everyday errands. We can pay high gas prices. Or we can build reliable transit & wide, safe, connected bike lanes. It's our future. Speak up for what you need. (Amsterdam protest 1970s)

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the world’s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude. The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.

Months ago, a fellow urbanist told me I had nothing to worry about in the Paris mayoral election, suggesting @egregoire.bsky.social would win & continue Hidalgo’s work. Hope he’s right. But in my experience, if people “don’t have to worry,” it’s because enough people didn’t assume anything. #VOTE

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes
