In 1986 Harvard University threatened us as well with suspension for protesting apartheid S. Africa. Our response was similar. Well done. Univ. Pres. Garber emailed alumni today soliciting support for his crackdown. I wrote him back with a counter proposal: that he accede to the students…

Toronto councillor on junket drove luxury rental car from Turin to Milan and arrived at airport too late to check in, so charged city extra $5,300 for hotel and new tickets. Ironically, he actually could've made it on time using the train. Fare: only $47

Not a single “tip” for drivers who routinely hit and kill or injure people getting around on bikes.

Riders don’t need lectures.

We drivers are the ones who need to learn, to adjust our behaviour around people on bikes. #BicycleSafetyMonth
