The conspiracy fiction of 15 minute cities gets the @thedailyshow.com treatment 😂🤣

I've seen some of this and of course it is not perfect. The point is that while others adopt, we study and pilot. There is as you say mixed reviews, but one would think that they could simply look at the studies and decide.

Seems pretty much on point. Winnipeg pilots everything that has already been studied, piloted, reported and found to be useful.

Lost trust takes a lot of effort to reestablish.

PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS: “We’ve let the lies be far too successful, and that’s significantly hurt our cities. No more.”

It’s our blunt NEW @usa.streetsblog.org op-ed sharing why we’ve created @urbantruth.bsky.social. SPOILER: We need to call out the lies and tell the truth much more persuasively!

In the 21st century this is evil incarnate. Poilievre is nothing more than a mini-Trump, willing to sell out our children for the short-term profit of burning oil & gas. The legacy of myopic leaders like this will be to leave a wasteland for the next generation. We must stop them. #EndFossilFuels

Proposal to reduce Winnipeg’s default 50 km/h speed limit advances. We need to keep our eye on the prize. 30 kph is the true "safe speed." It is true that “it takes… seconds more to go 40 versus 50." Is also only takes seconds to go 30 as well. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social t.ly/-1Etq

I love "clean" protected bike infrastructure.

Great article from @maxfawcett.bsky.social that has me thinking about where we would be now if Justin Trudeau had led the Liberals into the last election and we now had a massive CPC majority that could pretty much do whatever they wanted.

‘We can set the agenda:’ Carney continues his middle-power pitch in Australia In Australia, Prime Minister Mark Carney continued his argument that middle powers should band together, saying Canada and Australia share the advantages of legitimacy and trust.

Pierre Poilievre’s great reset The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is rolling out a kinder and gentler version of himself. But can he stick to the script, or will he revert to his political instincts?

Pierre Poilievre’s great reset. I would add a ? "But make no mistake: this is still the same person, even if it’s not, for now — the same politician. We shouldn’t confuse any of this for genuine change, not least because Poilievre himself has already rejected the possibility out of hand." t.ly/gA3fY

Of course not true and no doubt he has nothing to back it up. What a tool!

Brilliant and scary.

"..the sole emphasis on a 75-year timeline of digging up the streets & replacing the pipes needs to change. Addressing the imperviousness of the built form through permeable pavements, bio-swales, rain gardens, green roofs, more trees, & “green infrastructure” is needed in the immediate term."

Fossil fuels will be collateral damage in Trump’s war on Iran Canada's oil and gas industry and the politicians in its thrall will use the US attack on Iran as a justification for more pipelines. In reality, it will actually erode the economic case for them.

Actually past time to start on a path to get off oil. Right now we are headed in the opposite direction with Trump pushing oil and gas.

And here in Winnipeg we could do it to but our administration lacks the courage and fear the 4 year election cycle. Its past time for @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social to do what is right for the city and not for their reelection. Other cities/countries have already charted the way, follow it.
