Il faut mettre fin à cette absurdité. ici.radio-canada.ca/info/videos/...
Un seul achat depuis décembre pour un produit que je ne trouvais pas ailleurs. Je fais plus d'achats en magasin et je commande en ligne auprès de différents sites canadiens. La qualité est généralement meilleure.
A 60-year-old woman sits across from me on the O-Train, letting out a big sigh of relief. She apologizes: “Sorry! I’m a driver, so it’s nice when you sit down after walking a bit. It’s hard when you’re used to driving yourself around, you know.”
I was impressed – few people make that connection.
C’est où?
Effectivement, la traduction peut ne pas être parfaite #LostInGoogleTranslation
🇫🇷 Le versement mobilité, whereby employers with 11 or more employees contribute to transit funding.
🇫🇷🇧🇪 L'indemnité kilométrique vélo, a distance-based allowance employees can get when they ride a bike to work (now called "forfait mobilités durables" to include other sustainable modes).
Every spring, I get a new appreciation for Canadian winters that remove motorcycles from our streets and significantly reduce their numbers year-round. I don't notice when they're gone, but I definitely notice when they're back.

Je ris, surprise par son intervention.
Il me regarde, choqué : "Mais c'est vrai!"
Mon fils de 11 ans s'arrête soudainement, de peur que l'auto ne nous cède pas le passage. Je lui rappelle la fois où une conductrice a continué sa route alors qu'on était engagés sur le passage piéton devant l'école.
Lui : "C'est pour ça qu'il ne faut pas avoir de voiture, ça rend bête."

The MUPs are what made me fall in love with Ottawa-Gatineau. They can be useful for transportation, but are very uncomfortable at night, especially for women, and mostly unavailable from December to mid-April. We also need a connected network of protected on-street infrastructure.
What a beautiful tribute.
In 2024, our family of four drove 4,340 km, all with Communauto. 3,273 km were local trips, mostly for the kids' sports.
In 2024, I biked 3,272 km and walked 569 km.
