I've avoided twitter for most of this year, but I will definitely check back in for a Russian coup. What a day.

#WeekendBikeHALFDays? Cutting the SJAM hours will prevent entire communities in the westend from being able to participate. Why?? (Nevermind that the westbound lane should be converted PERMANENTLY to active transport and the eastbound lane could be bi-directional and 30km/hr).

I've made an active choice to not be on twitter this year. I've been mostly successful, cutting the time I've spent here by about 98%. Every once in awhile I check-in and every time I'm reminded how incredibly bad this place is for well-being, overall. It's really, really awful.

I don't love the idea of requiring workers to return to the office if it's unnecessary, but the number of civil servants who don't seem to recognize that SO MANY people NEVER got to work from home is *shocking*.

Voici le visage de la fillette de 7 ans qui a perdu la vie hier après avoir été happé par une véhicule à Montréal: Maria Legenkovska a succombé à ses blessures à son arrivée à l’hôpital malgré l’intervention d’un médecin qui était à bord d’un autobus de la STM. #rcmtl

The seven-year-old girl survived the start of the war in Ukraine, took refuge in Canada, mowed down by a driver in a Montreal street. Horrendous. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…

It is too easy to blame deaths in the failing healthcare system on a lack of a mask mandate. Please don't waste your time ignoring the systemic and structural issues that have created this crisis.

"When you look at Canada, we rank 30th out of 38 countries for childhood well-being," Smart said. "It's really shocking to think a country, as wealthy as ours, is doing that poorly for our kids, but it's because we do not have a strategy for children." cbc.ca/news/health/ki…

I was surprised when my child started elementary school (in Canada) that parents aren’t informed until *after* the drill. My daughter was three years old when she first experienced a “lockdown drill.” Schools are directed by @ONeducation to have at least two per year.

Off to a great start, @_MarkSutcliffe! At least one of those advisory group members should be sitting on the transit commission as well, but wtf would we want to include citizen voices, right?
