Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight.

Apropos of nothing, as in maybe nobody cares, but removing the carbon tax + rebate is a very regressive action (ie. hurts the poor, helps richer households).
But hey, populism! 🥳

The Alberta govt says it’s moving ahead with legislation that would require parents to proactively sign up to have their children opt-in for sex ed (rather than the usual practice of opting out). On a related note, here are some AHS STI stats theglobeandmail.com/canada/a… #ableg
