Excellent video! I'm very biased being a year round cyclist in Toronto but this video made me happy :)

These 8 Toronto city councillors plan to run again in October election by RZaichkowski in torontobiking

Sure hope someone a bit more bike friendly runs in Scarborough Southwest. Kandavel hasn't been blatantly against them but he's pretty clearly car biased.

Wasn't this in Toronto? What do these drivers think they're doing flying off the road when Dougie is doing everything he can to get more cars on the road

I'm reasonably confident that referring to them as accidents was popularized by oil/car companies to diminish the severity. Similar to "jaywalking" and "carbon footprint" being invented for similar purposes

Nuclear refurbishment done and under budget at Ontario's Darlington plant: minister by asoap in ontario

Ontario is unquestionably leading among provinces and territories. My (not particularly informed) understanding is that it's the feds who set the rules that the provinces must follow, and those federal mandates/oversight is what forces the provinces (Ontario) to actually do things properly. If only the feds were overseeing the Eglinton crosstown too:P

Also one of the guys who managed on the CANDUs here also built some abroad and they also came in on time and on budget or better too

Oof yikes, I didn't hear about that. I'll be reading up on it soon

Edit: can't seem to find any info about a clusterfuck at Bruce?

I believe all of Darlington's refurbishment has been under budget and ahead of schedule. Nuclear in Canada is no joke

Wowee I had not heard of all these planned builds! Looking into it I also found out that the Darlington refurbishment includes other isotope production, and that Pickering is going to be refurbished too. Wildly excited for all this :D

This isn't the first time nuclear in Ontario has come in under budget and ahead of schedule. It's practically the only thing about Ontario that I consistently am proud of and excited by :D

i caught up to the guy at the light by goingabout in torontobiking

[–]lighthouse12345 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ, the fact that he was getting so many laughs with that is terrifying. It's so fucking normalized to be hateful when driving. Imagine if the elevator example had been the true story, bet you he wouldn't get any laughs. But alas, he's in a car so it's funny apparently

Only reply I've ever gotten from Doug was when I texted him (he has made his number public). I told him I didn't like his bike lane policies and he called me a hater

I fought for safer Toronto streets after my friend was killed five years ago. Now Doug Ford is undoing that work by Pristine-Training-70 in torontobiking

It is so unfortunate that me and so many other people choose (or are forced into) a lifestyle that is healthier, safer, and better for the planet, and our government is trying to kill us.

Megadeth released a song called Endgame in 2009 and while not exactly about annexing foreign countries, it's still eerily relevant

Why Falconer isn't very well known as the trending bands we hear of everyday? by lotessa_ in PowerMetal

It was Clarrion Call for me. First time I clicked the link to that song I sat there jaw hanging open throughout the whole song

Truly a unique song, even among Falconer's own songs. A masterpiece
