Public Transit has a marketing problem in Canada. Not to customers (who love it) but to senior governments (who are apparently not even aware it exists). May I propose:
"Transit. It's like a pipeline, but for people!"

side of a building with a parking lot in front with a billboard that says smoking tables next to non-smoking tables used to be normal too.
Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver.

We got new racks (of both kinds) at Simon Fraser Elementary as well. I did not realize scooter racks were a thing!

I'm sorry. But if an SUV clips your handle bars while you are biking along a bike route, it's 100% the car drivers fault.
Infuriating that the VPD is somehow blaming this on the cyclist.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.
The City of Vancouver has announced a gravel path next to the seawall to connect the area between Science World and Olympic Village next month, replacing the much criticized 400-metre detour through a busy road that they originally implied could last for seven years

2025 By-election results for Vancouver. Sean Orr (COPE) - 34,448 Lucy Maloney (OneCity) - 33,732
2022 Vancouver Election Results for Councillor Christine Boyle (OneCity) - 38,465 Iona Bonamis (OneCity) - 33,745 Jean Swanson (COPE) - 32,833
Congratulations to @seanorr.bsky.social and @lucymaloney.bsky.social. Huge victories in the Vancouver by-election.
Orr did better than Swanson in the last general. Maloney would have been a top vote getter too.
This is more than just a motivated opposition. There's a shift away from ABC. #vanpoli

And TSLA is up somehow? π€

Feels like we need more of this kind of marketing in Canada. I bet there are a lot of Canadian products that fly under the radar.
