NOT OK. In the face of antisemitism, disinformation, and a campaign by the far-right to see my head roll, today I’m on trial with the Carleton District School Board, accused of a code of conduct violation for calling out white supremacy and saying trustees should all care about health & safety.

I'm going to miss the warm evenings soon so soaking them all up because, I for one, do not desire -40C

“Ontario’s approach puts more emphasis on home builders making profits than on energy savings for the people who will ultimately live in those homes.”

mayor makes an appearance here, making a dubious argument against introducing new green building standards.

The city is really going hard at these ambiguous, "anyone can read themselves into these therefore it's a win" ads. I do find it interesting that the city is choosing to use an image where the person biking isn't wearing a helmet. Not to get into the debate about it, live your life, but the city is VERY consistent in their visual messaging with people wearing them

DON’T LOOK AWAY. This is the hateful vitriol that the convoy left in its wake and that conservative politicians embolden. To anyone who still doesn’t see the link between antivaxx/anti-mask BS and white supremacy, , , pay attention. I will not put up with receiving these threats alone.

So this is funny because, no his team hasn't taken the time to update his "about" page, but get a load of the last line in the about page as it's written now...

hahahaha we elected a joke

The city of responded to the large push back on the "safer roads program" test ads... and agreed to pull them because of the term "jaywalking" ...

Not because anyone in public works involved in the creation and approval of this bullshit realized that, hey, we've created, perpetuated and criminalized people making choices outside of cars to keep themselves safe because the city is fundamentally hostile to folks outside of cars

Not going to post the graphic City of jaywalking ad. But will add to the egs where if the city were serious about they would take responsibility for improving safety of road design so you can cross safely where you need to

Last winter, my partner and I took OC Transpo to visit his parents in Orleans. This is the bus stop (in summer): A paved slab w no sidewalk. In winter the slab isn't cleared so we were dropped at the side of a busy, high speed road w 3' of snow.

The mayor for everyday people is already bored and is apparently starting up his podcast again with other everyday man Daniel Alfredsson as his first guest (don’t have a bird site account so haven’t seen for myself).

I’m sure he’s going to feature a wide range of guests: CEOs, CFOs, COOs, would constitute a wide range right? I guess he’s feeling left out from all the other diverse groups of white male podcasters

Instagram served me another one. And I bet that the marketing department is like, ops we fucked in on one but now everyone is talking about it so win!!

Except that none of the imagery, none of the message, none of what’s “left” from this makes anyone look hunk twice about changing their behaviours when driving a car. Because the system and environment and big screens all still exist. And an instagram ad does fuck all

The thing is I’m not opposed to using graphic imagery when there is an appropriate framework and message. Australia and some European countries have used very graphic video in car crash / driving with a phone campaigns. And Mr general manager probably saw one and thought of this will work to convince people that “following the rules will keep them safe.”

Except there is no framework to support the image and the message here. It doesn’t work. Hence the massive outcry

What fucking planet do you live on that you think social media ads on Instagram are going to change behaviours when in environments such as a street? Rightly or wrongly people will make decisions based on perceived risk and safety. Telling people to "obey the fucking rules" is mindnumbingly stupid in a situation where physical danger is real, the power imbalance is totally skewed and people in +4,000 lb vehicles routinely break the fucking rules

The Citizen posted an article today and I got an email response from Ariel. I will include a screenshot of the article in the next post but the general manager of public works needs a new fucking job. He's publicly defending the "test ads"
