Have you ever wondered what 4.5 megabytes of data storage looked like in 1955? Wonder no more. Here it is in 62,500 punched cards.

I believe the security measures at City Hall are a barrier to democracy. After speaking to Adam @arc23 on about #accessibility at City Hall on my podcast I decided I'll do what I can to change how residents are welcomed at City Hall. Press release here:

"Masks remain mandatory on Wheel-Trans" at ACAT's recommendation. That's good.
But will #TTC go ahead with making "family of services" trips mandatory this month? This means "conditional status" #WheelTrans users won't have a choice to skip conventional TTC for parts of trips.
Provincial mask mandates for public transit lifted effective Saturday.
The #TTC strongly recommends continued use when riding the conventional system.
Masks remain mandatory on Wheel-Trans (staff & customers), a decision made in consultation with our accessible transit advisors.

a little piece of me dies every time a #DigitalGovernment webinar parrots "assume positive intent" because that is *not* how public services (e.g. income support, assistive devices program...) are designed + delivered

Hello @kristynwongtam. What can be done to improve pedestrian safety where Queen E crosses King St? Giant unprotected crossing, 30 cm high curbs with no accessibilty cuts, stop sign 3 metres behind crossing. Perfect location for road diet.
