Bike count for February.
Hi hi! Whats up? Where are ya
Anyone here from Dublin? I swear I talked to one of yall last year
Halifax too
Not to mention his completely tone deaf comment that it only took him a few months to pay off his loans because “he worked.”
As if there wasn’t an exponential cost of living increase since his graduation days and that youth unemployment is the highest it’s been in part due to his gov’s fault.
Conservative Windsor MPP says they have to cut OSAP or else they’ll “run out of money.”
Next day Ford is announcing an artificial island.
“No you don’t understand, if we don’t cut OSAP we can’t build the artificial island!!”
Please I’m so painfully single
Get you a man who can do both
It entertains me so much the variety of your posts. Some are pure shitposting and then you have these that sound like media releases from a transit think tank
Highest compliment I’ve ever received
🇨🇦 Bike infrastructure is a low cost, high impact solution for housing & health. But $500M in federal funding is now at risk.
If approvals aren't issued now, we lose the 2026 construction season.
TAKE ACTION: Email your MP by March 13!

Glad to see Metrolinx reducing reliance on expensive third party consultants and building more in-house expertise!
If Ontario is going to spend $70 billion to build out “the largest transit expansion in North America,” we must build the institutional knowledge to do so effectively & efficiently.
Sprong has sprong
LMFAO
Almost Winter Winter Still Winter Road Construction Stop Road work
No that’s a different meme, there’s only two seasons in Canada: winter and construction
This is construction shaped

…due to increased staffing per councillor. Amalgamation is often not in the interest of the people but is provincial directed with other interests in mind.
@jeffhurst.bsky.social spells it all out concisely here:
Thank you for your email. I appreciate your perspective and comments regarding governance in Niagara. I have and am reviewing all information being shared with me. I would like to see if there is a middle ground as I am getting emails that have differing opinions on how to move forward. The status quo is not working and some change is required. It is clear to me that there is a strong belief that there are too many politicians and that Regional taxes are too high. I have had discussions with the Regional Chair and others to find a resolution that would begin to address these issues in order to identify a viable path forward. Sincerely, Frank Campion MAYOR Office of the Mayor 60 East Main Street, Welland, Ontario L3B 3X4
My friend in Welland wrote to his mayor against Niagara amalgamation & this was the response
Already spewing myths that have dispelled—councillor salaries take up a fraction of a % of municipal costs. It’s actually been shown sometimes that larger wards/municipalities can cost the same or more… 1/2
Between this and naming TBMs, possibly naming stations, is the extent the public has easy access to policy change 😍😍
