Back in 2016 I was faced with a similar decision, lose my license to help me deal with high blood sugars or I could go car-free. In December 2016 I went car-free after the fire in our house. Getting a e-bike 18 months ago I am still car-free and it was the best decision we made.

If the responses on this thread are any indication, it's that the carbon tax will likely be gone after the next government takes power. People don't understand basic math and economic principles and so we are going to lose an effective program that should likely be expanded.

Right on Coun. @MarkTadeson. "It's a non-starter. It didn't make sense when it was first proposed: it makes less sense now, and it wouldn't even make sense in 2051." Suburban sprawl serves no one but the developers who stand to profit from it. @TheSpec #stopsprawl #Hamont 1/2
We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all beyond absurd, it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.
Hearing @radleyatthespec and @BayObserver chastise @CraigCassar for a “partisan tweet” about an emissions mitigation strategy that was originally found in @CPC_HQ policy book, long before historic drought and wildfire, makes me think it’s actually the rebate Cons take issue with.

Poilievre ignores the fact that the vast majority of Cdns get a bigger payment from the Feds than they pay via tax. Starting Apr 1, a family of 4 in Ont gets a rebate of $1,120 / $280 quarterly. The less fossil fuels you use, the further ahead you are. That's the point! #HamOnt
@TheSpec @TeviahMoro It's almost as if governments have spent the past few decades replacing their role as housing providers, with car storage providers.
We know the majority of the Hamilton Police Services Board voted to request an investigation by the OCPC into @CameronKroetsch What we don't know is exactly what the vote split was. Here are the people who cast votes. #HamOnt
You have to love how Danko tries to take the high road...and then stumbles over himself by making a typical passive-aggressive comment about people being children for caring about transparency, democracy and representation.

@karl_andrus @jdavey_2 If it’s illegal to not have a home, then a home should be provided. Making it a crime to be poor is shameful.
It’s a day of very mixed emotions for me. Today I announced that I am going to be leaving the City of Hamilton to take on an exciting new role. Thank you, Hamilton, for letting me be part of the City’s amazing renaissance over the past 10 years! /1
Hey @TedMcMeekin, you have a chance to course correct and save face when council of the whole meets for final vote on this file. Do the right thing. Choose lives over free parking spots. Which will it be?

Affordable housing - the top issue in #HamOnt & across Canada, yet 8 Cllrs voted to save 57 FREE PARKING SPOTS at the expense of critically needed new affordable housing & in opposition to City policy, partners & Provincial & Federal priorities! Will one reconsider by Council?
I completely agree with the Mayor. I’m hoping at least one Councillor will change their vote. As I said yesterday - we declared a housing crisis, not a parking crisis. We must do everything we can, and leverage every asset we have, to meet this crisis head on. #HamOnt
If you live in a ward represented by Matt Francis, Tom Jackson, Esther Pauls, Brad Clark, Jeff Beattie, Mark Tadeson, Mike Spadafora or Ted McMeekin, please take a minute to contact them to reverse their vote against building 67 affordable housing units in Stoney Creek. #HamOnt

The high cost of free parking.
The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife

Did you know that one car-share takes up to 7 cars off the road?! As our city grows, we must explore all transportation options. We all want less traffic, and car sharing could be one way to reduce it. Link in bio for full video. Thanks @Communauto_YEG! #yeg #yegcc
Back in 2016 I was faced with a similar decision, lose my license to help me deal with high blood sugars or I could go car-free. In December 2016 I went car-free after the fire in our house. Getting a e-bike 18 months ago I am still car-free and it was the best decision we made.
Mike unfortunately had to surrender his license due to medical issues. Mike snatched one up an @AventonBikes Pace 500.2 before we sold out. NOTE: Thx Mike sharing personal story. Medically suspended license, a growing issue for many, compounded by our aging demographics. #ebikes
Have you heard the news? @McMasterU students will soon have access to a heavily discounted #BikeShare pass following a recent student led referendum in which 95% of voters voted in favour of the idea. We are so excited! thespec.com/news/hamilton-…
Lets be clear: choosing to "focus" on single detached and townhouses is choosing NOT to fix the housing shortage, let alone affordability at all. There's NO path to quickly delivering the vast numbers of homes we need without shifting to denser, labour-efficient housing types.
Ford says his government’s focus is on single-dwelling homes and town homes.
The first chartered railway in Ontario didn’t go to Toronto. It connected Windsor, London, Hamilton and Niagara Falls. Those 4 cities centres lined up add up to 1.7 million people let alone the places in between. Time to start thinking about passenger rail routes outside TO.
Yesterday, GASP was gut-punched by the decision by @s_guilbeault to drop the Environmental Assessment on the 413 scheme. This highway is Ford’s pipeline for his sprawl agenda to build unaffordable homes on farmland at the behest of billionaires. Sprawl is Ontario’s Oil Sands.
What?? Gross irresponsibility!! Worst possible enviromental dissaster, easily avoidable! Mix of ignorance, corruption, lack of integrity, allowing disaster to move forward!!! Hwy 413: 100s of 1000s of single family SPRAWL homes. Who? ON's Ford + Trudeau's Fed Liberals. Sad!
Building a highway next to a highway is the dumbest thing since license plates that don’t work in the dark When governments are corrupt people push back And Ontario is gonna show up to #StopThe413 (#GreenbeltScandal 2.0)
The cancellation of Highway 413's Impact Assessment is a gross abdication of responsibility and the federal government must urgently update the and re-designate the highway project. #StopThe413
We need to continue to call out this violent narrative that is typically laughed off but plays so deeply into the dehumanizing of everyone outside of the car which pollutes the mainstream discussion and further builds barriers to cycling and active transportation.
If you threaten to run over his constituents in front of him @stephenholyday says nothing. If you politely ask him to denounce those threats he mutes your mic, stops the meeting, calls security & refuses to condemn violence. Unfit for office #Etobicoke #bikeTO cc @MayorOliviaChow
If the responses on this thread are any indication, it's that the carbon tax will likely be gone after the next government takes power. People don't understand basic math and economic principles and so we are going to lose an effective program that should likely be expanded.
Poilievre ignores the fact that the vast majority of Cdns get a bigger payment from the Feds than they pay via tax. Starting Apr 1, a family of 4 in Ont gets a rebate of $1,120 / $280 quarterly. The less fossil fuels you use, the further ahead you are. That's the point! #HamOnt

Right on Coun. @MarkTadeson. "It's a non-starter. It didn't make sense when it was first proposed: it makes less sense now, and it wouldn't even make sense in 2051." Suburban sprawl serves no one but the developers who stand to profit from it. @TheSpec #stopsprawl #Hamont 1/2
We need more mixed income communities w/ more affordable housing options in neighbourhoods across Ontario. 4-plex as of right enable community building. During a housing crisis we need to enable all forms of housing that reduce the infrastructure burden. #SustainableDevelopment
NEW: After lots of internal deliberations about fourplexes (four units as-of-right) province wide - Premier Doug Ford shuts down the effort. Ford says that’s “off the table for us” largely because there would be push back from residents. #onpoli
Off script, PP’s such a disappointment. I long for the days of Conservatives with actual plans and policies to challenge & improve the country. Not wedge issue boosters and anti-whatever the other team is doing reactionary politics.
Wow…22 Minutes just got serious. 😳
Breaking! City to close all bridges to car traffic due to inclement conditions, said no one ever. Same city perfectly ok throwing people on bikes into car traffic rather than keep a safe active mobility bridge open. Ridiculous is an understatement. #ottbike
Why is it I tweeted my excitement at crossing the bridge (many others crossed it today too), and totally had a feeling I would see this? #ottcity
We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all beyond absurd, it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.
Hearing @radleyatthespec and @BayObserver chastise @CraigCassar for a “partisan tweet” about an emissions mitigation strategy that was originally found in @CPC_HQ policy book, long before historic drought and wildfire, makes me think it’s actually the rebate Cons take issue with.
Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took leadership. Your city could choose leadership too. Great pic via @JBPssx
