👋 Here's an informative article to share the next time you encounter a nuclear power advocate. Please take the time to give it a quick read. I found it quite helpful, I hope you do.

❗ Edit to add: this post is not meant to serve as a challenge for nuclear advocates to jump in a start an argument (I thought that I made that clear!) On nearly every topic I welcome a debate--not on this one.

👉 EDITED AGAIN: Muting this conversation since it looks as if I am not making myself clear.

All while the governments of Alberta and Ontario are actively fighting cities that want to have protected bike lanes. Carnage is fine, as long as it’s done by cars and trucks.

Schabas's ruling on Toronto bike lanes is great reading! He repeatedly points out the Ontario government's case has no evidence, or is contrary to the evidence, and was contrary to the government's own CIMA report, which they took a long time to reveal.

ie. Doug Ford et. al. lied by omission, lied outright, then lied and tried to hide it.

And the cherry on top: Cycle Toronto was represented pro bono, but Schabas awarded their counsel $200,000 in costs anyway!

Huge news in Ontario today! This will benefit people who cycle, but it will also benefit people who drive cars — though some of them might not know it yet.

"Justice Paul Schabas concluded Wednesday that the bike lane removals will not reduce congestion. In his written decision, Schabas highlighted expert evidence ‘which establishes that bicycle lanes, and in particular separated or protected bicycle lanes, reduce motor vehicle traffic congestion by providing an alternative method of transportation that is safer for all users of the roads.’”

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 😀🚴🏼‍♀️❤️

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”)

Support Jeronimo Kataquapit and his fight to protect the Hudson Bay lowlands. This is not just a fight against Bill 5, Bill C5, it's a fight to save a natural carbon sink that protects us from climate change.

Spent today at Queen's Park protesting against Bill 5. The protests were large enough for pigs to arrest folks but they weren't given any media coverage.

At least plenty of folks saw from the QP Canada Day event.

Bill 5 is bad law and worse policy. Repeal it and start from scratch.

I was going to post this with snark, but I just can't do it. QC weakened rent controls, rents skyrocket. ON weakened rent controls, rents skyrocket. It's not rocket science.

We can't trust voters to see through this, nor politicians to fix it. The way out is to get organized, join a tenants union.
