It's been two and a half years that mstdn.ca has been a thing.
If you see this, please reshare it and star it. I'm curious about the reach we have.
Consider this a research and proof of concept project!
Clinton Anderson SwordForHire@chad Naaah..
Windsor is a shithole 🤣🤣🤣
But we need more Canadians, we need more contact between Canadians, here on The Fed Verse or whatever it's called
Cheers eh
@ClintonAnderson everyone can find something to be proud of in their communities.
For us, Edmonton has amazing year-round festivals.
Calgary has the international firework competition and the stampede.
Vancouver and Victoria has the ocean and a nude beach.
Saskatoon has a great "taste of Saskatchewan"
Winnipeg has the Forks.
I think we could find something wonderful in all of our communities!
Oh for sure
But I don't know how steeped in Regressive, Grifting, CONservative, Ontario politics you are... All the worst parts of it are concentrated here in #WindsorON
What should be a glorious haven, is instead a heap.
Our Bike Advocates gave up. Our Transit Advocates gave up. Our Urbanist Advocates left City Council and are even mostly talking about leaving not just Windsor but Ontario, but Canada all together.
It's exceedingly difficult to be positive in such light, know what I mean?
It's one of the reasons I enjoy Mastodon eh
@ClintonAnderson I'm certainly not associated with any of those regressive groups. We do see it here in Edmonton - particularly the neighbourhood of Dunluce - but the large majority of Edmontonians hear and see how important bike lanes are as the most northern city in the country... ridership is equal to summer ridership.
When it's framed how many real dollars are spent to clear vehicle roadways compared to multimodal lanes, the language changes really quick.
I have thoughts.
@ClintonAnderson Ultimately it's how it's framed.
How many hundreds or thousands of kms of vehicle roadway compared to multimodal roads and lanes, and that - in Edmonton - a separate (smaller) crew clears these multimodal lanes, of course they get cleared faster.
Consider the thousands of kms of vehicle roadway are cleared by the city compared to maybe the hundred km of multimodal path.
When you break it down to dollars and cents, these anti bike lane folks start to get real quiet.
Are you a Not Just Bikes, The Missing Middle, or Shifter fan?
Just a few of my favourite Cycling/Urbanism podcasts/creators 😁
@ClintonAnderson absolutely. We use our two cars very little in the summer and would use them more in the winter if my partner had better prepared tires on her bike.
We have six breweries within ten minutes biking from us and we love visiting them via bike when we can.
Look, if you're going to flirt with me like that, I'm going to let you! 🍻
