Well here we are.
We no longer have Twitter but "X" ... The ridiculousness continues.
As this platform accelerates downhill I am announcing that I will no longer be actively engaging on this platform.

People can't instantly improve their commute. But understanding the connection to mental health should at least motivate local govs to develop viable options.

Fossil fuel lobbyists have spent billions to convince us that serious #ClimateAction is too expensive or too inconvenient.
But the droughts, floods & fires are all around us. And they are massively expensive, inconvenient, heartbreakingly fatal. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateJustice

Do you work for a municipality? Do you want to increase housing supply in your community? ow.ly/NYVU50P7UvR
Complex issue for sure! I appreciate being part of a team where each member of the council can vote for their conscience! Appreciate your stance and great questions!
I voted in favour of the letter based on the information and experience I have; however, it’s a complex issue, and I recognize there is a lot I don’t know. I would be interested in exploring a holistic approach - a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan e.g. ottawa.ca/en/family-and-soci…

Throughout history, streets were shared by people walking, riding, and driving alike. Today, streets prioritize cars at the expense of every other form of transportation. We need to rebuild streets that are dominated by people and accommodate cars—not the other way around.
Till the province is able to find alternative forms of transportation over the malahat. This will continue to be our summer weekend theme song 😣
