If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.

"A teen was airlifted to hospital Wednesday evening after her bicycle was struck by a vehicle in Kitchener.

Emergency responders were called to the intersection of Bingemans Centre Drive and Shirley Drive at 4:50 p.m."

This is a terrible area to bike. It was a convenient option for my commute to work, but after too many close calls I gave up on it. Really wish something would be done about it, even if it means removing the painted bike lanes.

Hello from mastodon.social! I switched from mstdn.ca because it is going to be hosted from a garage due to lack of donations (https://mstdn.ca/@chad/112829861531043898). I've donated to mstdn.ca and would prefer to stay on a Canadian instance, but the stability of an established instance to keep me motivated to use Mastodon is more important.
