Here is a nice combination of colors that happened in my garden last year. Continue to be outraged at injustice and evil, but noticing appreciating, and looking forward to the little things that are not bad helps. 🌱🌻

Women are underrepresented in economics. Our research is overlooked. Yet women economists disproportionately work on income support, tax policy, care, labour market inequality. We study the economy we actually live in. That's not a coincidence. Happy IWD to the women doing the work anyway. 🌹

Billboard ad for public transit visible from a freeway filled with cars and congestion, that says “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

One of the best of all time.

“You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

Wish we had come up with that one. #UrbanTruth

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

My list of favourite things about Victoria is extremely long and I never regret moving here

One of my favourite things about living in Victoria is that nearby a great horned owl pair nests yearly in a laundry basket up a tree. #yyj

Adding Up What Urban Highways Really Cost A new report maps the economic toll that downtown freeways exact on 142 US cities — and tallies up what that land could be worth if it was developed for other uses.

“Looking at a 3-mile radius from the downtowns of 142 US cities, roughly 66,000 acres are consumed by highways — land representing an untapped development potential of more than half a trillion dollars…that fallow land equates to about $5.2 billion in foregone property tax revenue every year.”

Ford government unveils designs for proposed Ontario Science Centre despite opposition Cost for planned facility on Toronto’s waterfront is about $1-billion, including a 30-year maintenance contract, premier says

My confusing day: Government claims the new, smaller proposed building will actually have more "exhibition space" than its shuttered predecessor, despite releasing numbers showing it in fact has less -- and then couldn't explain itself.

42% of those that live in poverty are working.

Many people still think of poverty as something that happens when people don’t work. But the reality is different: majority of people who live in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. @gillianpetit.bsky.social and my 2026 chart to watch www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...
