NEW: London Mayor Sadiq Khan⁩ re-elected for 3rd term. Described as “divisive” & “anti-car” in the article, this is more evidence that being willing to challenge the strangle-hold that #CarDependency has on cities isn’t the political negative some think time.com/6974786/labour…

Backlane sweeper out this morning! Woot! So much glass, here's hoping there's no more flats!

Whether it's where you buy your groceries, books, clothes, gifts etc, always try to support a local business. We have put too much power (and $$) in the hands of a few, and we are suffering for it.

Canada's housing crisis started decades ago. We need ALL political parties, at every level of government, to commit to fixing it!

This is a serious victory for the Strong Towns argument against highway expansion.

YYC line from downtown to airport
High speed line between YYC-YEG
Rail in Banff and Jasper
Grande Prairie and Ft Mac line
Hub connecting rail to LRT in big cities
