A colleague told me yesterday that kids with training wheels don’t bike in bike lanes. Thanks for proving them wrong.

The City is seeking feedback from residents of #Thorncliffe and #Flemingdon on the proposed changes to #Overlea Blvd. To do so, we've scheduled a third public meeting on Mar 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration link on the project page toronto.ca/overlea. (1/2)

You can get a rebate from the government of Canada to buy an electric car, but not if you buy a much cheaper, much healthier, and much more environmentally friendly cargo bike. Let’s fix that. + @MyAssiniboine, let’s chat about copying @LibroCU.

Fully in support @jenniferstoryTO and @rchernoslin. I'm working full time with two kids under four - we need safe, full time schools and daycares by September or we are all in an impossible situation @Sflecce #TDSB thestar.com/politics/provinc…
I am coming off 5.5 months of #parentalleave. Here's why I think more men should take them, and 3 reasons why I'm grateful for the opportunity. 1. family, 2. work, and 3. in a micro way, help address the societal double standard that penalizes women for putting family first
Paternity leave is good for society: it's not fair that men get ahead when women take maternity leave. Our society needs to reward paternity leave (this is improving in Canada; and we couldn't have afforded it without EI$). Let's expect more of men in parenting, esp of young kids

Gotta end or highly regulate these wildlife markets. It’s unethical and dangerous.
