I'm winding down on here and ramping up on @bluesky (cbkemp.bsky.social). I cannot continue to fuel Elon Musk's platform that actively promotes hatred and misinformation, and what is now a personal political tool to directly enable and fund Trump. Was great while it lasted.

Doug Ford supports Bradford, that's all you need to know. One of them is enough, two would be a disaster for Toronto.

And: a mayor who directly supports destruction of the limited safe traffic infrastructure that we have is undermining safety for all. No other major city with aspirations to offer their citizens a decent quality of life is taking this route xitter.cf/mindoverdata/status/21…
In Toronto, more people are killed and injured by vehicles than from violent crimes. Anyone who claims to be a champion of safety, but who isn't advocating for safer roads, is just fear mongering or dog whistling.

Dear Torontonians, Have we not learned from having Doug Ford as our Premier? We cannot let Brad Bradford win this mayoral election. Please vote accordingly. Sincerely, A concerned Torontonian ❤️

This is one of the many reasons I wear a helmet camera when I bike. Drivers in Toronto are out of control and emboldened by a provincial government that is actively dismantling safety and enforcement, and prioritizes drivers above all else. I'm glad they caught the guy.

Two ways to genuinely keep kids safe on their way to school: Speed cameras, which this government outlawed. Bike lanes, which this government is ripping out.
Every parent wants to know their child is safe on their way to and from school. It's a peace of mind we want for every student, in every community. From kindergarten to high school, student safety is everyone's responsibility. This School Bus Safety Week, I remind all drivers to slow down, stay alert and take extra care around school buses and school zones throughout the school year.

As long as we keep treating automobile violence as an inevitable cost of doing business rather than a failure of public safety regulation, this will continue to happen. I really hope for recovery for all the families impacted by this careless and negligent act.

This morning, environmental titan David Suzuki joined me in speaking about the risks to our safety and pocketbooks that come with Bradford’s proposal to privatize our water. I’m grateful to have David’s support. His decades of leadership on the environment remind us that protecting our water means protecting our communities and our environment for future generations. Our water should never be for sale.

Many of the schools on Bloor Street have students older than 10. How will they safely get to school on their bikes?

These 32 #BloodBikes commemorate the 32 people killed on Bloor, Yonge & University in 20-years before bike lanes were built. After bike lanes were installed only one tragic loss of life has occurred in 6-years since 2020. Bike lanes keep EVERYONE save, not only people cycling.

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests @TheBreachMedia dove into the politics of cycling, and debunked some of the myths along the way

Internal docs show MTO staff warned against Ford govt’s bike lane removal: “No empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, nor is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow” thestar.com/news/gta/doug-fo… #onpoli #bikeTO #TOpoli

Speed limits on local roads and laneways across Toronto will soon have speed limits of 30 km/h as part of the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan. The goal is to reduce the risk of serious collisions and create safer neighbourhood streets for everyone. This work is being implemented on a ward-by-ward basis and will continue through 2028.

Really good work here.
Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests. @DesmondCole reports from the frontlines of the showdown in Toronto.

If 905ers don't like bike lanes and Torontonians do - simple answer to the 905: take the GO or pay a congestion tax like other cities if they want to clog our streets with their cars...
