Most activists I know don’t want to be activists. They just people who see something that’s wrong and feel compelled to do something about it.

Horrific heat wave all across Asia. Lethal conditions caused by oil, gas and coal. We have to choose: we can continue building new fossil fuel projects and watch as millions suffer and die. Or we can stop, actually begin a just transition, and build a safer world.
"If the cost of cleaning up the asset at the end of life are not factored into Imperial's forward-looking financial statements, they are not being honest with their investors. Other oil sands companies are already doing this." - Chief Adam to Imperial Oil shareholders, April 30
Today’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report reveals that oil & gas remains Canada’s top-polluting sector, accounting for 31% of Canada’s emissions in 2022. That’s more than buildings, heavy industry, & electricity combined! 🤯 rb.gy/0t0bzh

Fascinating take: “Things that are good at making cars drive through an area quickly are the opposite of the things that are good at making them stop so their occupants can get out and stay long enough to spend money.” strongtowns.org/journal/2021/2…
This is great! We need more of these! We should also: (a) make a more pronounced bump so that cars are forced to slow down at intersections; and (b) make them in neighbourhoods that aren’t primarily $2 million+ single family homes.

In the Vancouver area, Translink operates the transit system… but also major roads and bridges in the region. And it has an explicit goal of reducing private vehicle use.

Bikeshare proves the importance of network redundancy. This is a map of trips taken from bike share stations. That large dot is showing number of rides near Jane station (terminus of fire shutdown). Also, why the Bloor West bike lanes are valuable!

Montreal's pedestrian streets - in just three years, there are now 11 of them! - are coveted by the Buisness community and touted by the Tourism Board. No one wants to live in or visit a city that is choked with traffic, causing annoyance, air and noise pollution. But a city…

Instead of 30 restaurant patrons, I think 3 parked cars would be better for the local economy.

No city in North America is doing street transformations into people-places as well as Montreal. None. It’s not even close. Every city can learn from this. Every. Single. One. The key lesson is that it ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY (cars). It’s also about WHAT YOU ADD!
@realDannyCosta @HowSenChong I’ve lived in this area for 15 years and the traffic on Spadina has always been like this. Nothing to do with construction and closures.

it's significant to think about the fact that america has systematically trapped people in wage slavery so that they lack the ability to meaningfully participate in protest movements, and one of the only still exempt groups is university students
@g_3_r_o Some liberal bootlicker recently posted about how once people graduate they stop protesting so she thought it was all performative. Not once do they think that the system is designed to prevent people from protesting.
Happy to be able to contribute to this amazing reporting. Places like Scarborough and Mississauga need diverse employment opportunities, but Jobs should not sacrifice community and worker safety.
