Some people see the status quo as paramount and any change to it is a challenge to what they are entitled to.

Does anyone know why so much of Toronto's open data catalog for transportation was just abandoned at some point? Raw, transparent data is great for combatting misinformation... #BikeTO#TOPoli#ONPoli

Biking in Ontario is now seen as a political act, which is unacceptable. Going to work shouldn’t be radical.

You might absolutely hate bike lanes but if you put that hate above government overreach, it will certainly come for something important to you, something you need or rely on, one day…

Misleading headline. This was pretty chill, especially given the last one (Holyday), and the majority of speakers were both residents *and* in favour of the Bloor bike lanes, so it’s silly to suggest that somehow this is a locals-vs-bikes thing. #VisionZero#BikeTO#WalkTO#ONpoli#TOpoli

A Toronto Star headline reads “Residents, cyclists clash at Etobicoke bike lanes meeting”. Below is a photo of maybe 20 cyclists waiting to turn left from the middle lane at an intersection while several more roll up behind them.

The only issues with these drip coffee makers is that the water often doesn’t get hot enough. As long as the water sits with the coffee for a few min, then is filtered, nothing else really matters.

Yes. Because the biggest issue with coffee is that we are all drinking from stale beans. If you drink coffee that was roasted less than a week ago, ground less than a few hours ago, and brewed only a few minutes ago; it tastes like no other coffee you have ever had.

Conservatism is supposed to be about small government/free market but I think it’s really about see the world and society as fixed and unchangeable. Any attempted systemic improvement is taken as an attempt to go against the laws of the universe.

Absolutely, we see it all the time with bus lanes. We could be having a much better conversation if we had more expansive and better data. I don’t think many cities have realized how important it is to have that out there.
