Mayor Chow and Toronto City Council have voted to expand school meals, but to feed all students, the Ford government must match the city’s investment.

Ontario, Canada: non ci sono prove che le corsie ciclabili peggiorino il traffico

La discussione sulle ciclabili in #Canada è sullo stesso livello che da noi, ovvero bassissimo e becero.

Il premier dell'#Ontario (conservatore) voleva eliminare con una legge le poche nuove ciclabili di #Toronto, con una sindaca progressista (vi ricorda qualcosa?).
Un giudice ha bloccato la legge, chiamata: "ridurre il traffici, facendoti risparmiare tempo", perché i dati presentati dimostravano che, a causa di ben noti fenomeni (come il #trafficoIndotto), la congestione è in realta migliorata grazie alle #ciclabili.

Adesso la stessa situazione si sta presentando in altre province Canadesi, come in #Alberta, ma il precedente dell'Ontario rende la vita difficile a chi porta avanti posizioni ideologiche e antiscientifiche contro la #mobilitaSostenibile.

Chissà se in situazioni simili da noi i giudici agirebbero nello stesso modo. I dati d'altra parte parlano chiaro.

It's been almost three months since I launched Show Up Toronto and in that time I've posted 426 events from over 200 groups, which is pretty dang cool. The fact that there are consistently 100+ events a month representing the labour of thousands validates my optimism about the city. #torontohttps://www.showuptoronto.ca

So I’ve just re-watched this @notjustbikes video and it goes even harder than I remembered! It’s a fact-based evisceration of the bike lanes legislation, car culture, Doug Ford, his government, and conservative politicians in general. And it’s absolutely worth watching the whole thing right to the end! Set aside some time and do just that 😀🚴🏼‍♀️❤️

A victory for every traffic participant in #Toronto, including those who’ll be angry about this important decision. What a relief. Huge thanks to the organizers of this effort. #TOpoli#cycleTO

And given that the Ontario government’s cycle lane legislation has been ruled unconstitutional in a blistering judgment by Justice Paul Schabas, this feels a great time to revisit this hilariously scathing video on the legislation (and more) from @notjustbikes

For folks who are interested, Justice Schabas’s actual judgment makes for engaging and invigorating reading. He has little time for the government’s lazy, BS “reasoning” and he makes it crystal clear why.

(Edited to correct “Judge Schabas" to “Justice Schabas”)

This is the reporting I was hoping to see about the TTC deploying “Provincial Offences Officers” on transit. #Toronto#TTChttps://www.cbc.ca/kidsnews/post/watch-ttc-blames-12-year-old-boys-for-jokes-about-its-new-poo-crew

On Sunday, I delivered the PocketPortal workshop again: this time, at InterAccess in Toronto for Vector Fest! (thank you, Tiffany!) 🎉

A second workshop = a second version of the zine = two new example projects to remix = testing out the WEMOS D1 mini v2

I'm so happy I got the chance to improve the workshop, and achieve some of the things I didn't have time to do the first time around (like a slide deck and more example projects).

Via @mcc@mastodon.social: Carlton Cinema is showing both Ghost in the Shell and Paprika today (with time for a little break in between if you pick the afternoon showings)! https://imaginecinemas.com/cinema/carlton/?date=2025-07-24

(I'm extremely tempted given that it's a Heat Event and I don't have AC at home. On the other hand, it's a 5 km bike ride and it's a Heat Event)

FIFA is next year. What the everloving fuck are you talking about new subways for, you clown. Have you less brain than you do earwax?

It's so easy to lose this amongst an avalanche of bluster from Holyday, but it's so much more valuable.

Business owners, can you not afford to park slightly farther away in order to expose your business to 10K more customers? You literally cannot buy that kind of increased exposure.
