@TimHoustonNS Nova Scotia lags the rest of Canada on many many metrics - economy, energy, healthcare, education. The growth of the past few years was thanks to the Federal Government. Premier Houston is uniquely unqualified for the job at which he is flailing badly. Vote for someone else.

In this election, the choice has never been clearer. Our PC team is standing up for Nova Scotians and delivering Lower Taxes, More Doctors, and Higher Wages. Vote PC to Make it Happen! Find where to vote: pcpartyns.ca/vote

@McDonalds really ought not permit #Trump to campaign behind the counter.

@TimHoustonNS #NovaScotia is held firmly in the rear by Premier Houston: regression on #energy; disastrous on #environment; HealthCare is in crisis and sinking fast - #Transportation - really not good. The Bluenose Province needs a revamp to the present era.

Nova Scotia is on the rise again. Like you, I'm proud to be Nova Scotian.

@TimHoustonNS Goodness gracious - the Nova Scotia Premier is less skilled than I previously imagined.

In the face of federal inaction, the Province of Nova Scotia continues moving forward with necessary work to protect the Chignecto Isthmus. With nearly $100 million of trade passing through the Chignecto Isthmus every day - $35 billion every year - this infrastructure is truly of national importance. It is remarkable that the federal government continues to deny its responsibility on this file. While project priorities continue to be met and tenders issued, every dollar that the province spends on this is a dollar that is taken away from healthcare, other provincial priorities and Nova Scotians. This is a shame. This is why we asked the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal to determine whether the federal government or the Province is truly financially responsible for the Isthmus. Lawyers are confident that the courts will determine that the Federal Government is responsible for key infrastructure connecting our country and our detailed, compelling factum has been filed with the court. We are also hopeful that when the court makes its determination that the federal government is responsible, Ottawa will continue its history of covering one hundred per cent of the costs of infrastructure projects that are of national importance. Projects like the Champlain Bridge in Montreal, where the federal government assumed one hundred per cent of the $4.2 billion cost. Nova Scotians have a right to expect the same treatment as other jurisdictions. By forcing Nova Scotia to turn to the courts, the federal government is merely delaying the inevitable. This inaction puts Nova Scotians at risk. We are not waiting for the federal government to take action. As additional protection against the federal government positioning, we applied to the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund. This application remains open but it will only fund 50 per cent of the cost. This means all funds from this program will have to be allocated towards the Isthmus and are not available to complete other much-needed projects. I recently wrote to the federal Nova Scotia Liberal caucus and asked them to reconsider their position and take responsibility for this piece of federal infrastructure. We are counting on them to put the Province before party, but we won’t hold our breath. In the meantime, we are taking action and doing the work on behalf of Nova Scotians.

@TheBikingLawyer TPS - a callous indifference to their job while taking a slight at any constructive criticism. Well past due for a major overhaul.

Certainly other groups face far more severe state reprisals at the hands of TPS. With this experience & that in mind, it's critical the cycling community stands w other communities against police violence, impunity, & bloated budgets.

Yesterday as cyclists on a ghost bike ride prepared to leave the crash site a lone @TorontoPolice officer lost his cool, creating a situation of danger in a roadway. As I tried to assure him we were on our way he threatened to arrest me & thru my bike on the ground 1/3 #bikeTO

@TPS_BikeHart We need to have a booting squad or tow truck follow you and remove the offending vehicles.

St. George St #BikeTO lane. THREE unoccupied trucks in the bike lane, one with their “hazards” on. I thought for sure driver/occupants would run out or be close by. No one did! 3x $200 tags served. $600 in total with…. I can’t count how many cyclist passed as I tagged all 3

@sammy_canada Own the book. Read the book. Complete your assignments. Do more problems than the instructor assigns. Study harder.

Toronto has ample police - the myth of limited resources is long standing and advanced by the police union.

Brian Niccol really - really - ought NOT Be employed by @Starbucks or really any firm due to excess entitlement.

@TheBikingLawyer Worth mention - Toronto area @TimHortons delivery drivers have been simply parking in the car lane for years - they do not block the #biketo lane. At least in the route I travel.

When confronted, the officer accused the cyclist who took the photo of riding on the sidewalk. We need automated enforcement now. Adding insult to injury, the Law Enforcement Complaint Agency refuses to investigate police that park in bike lanes. #notsafe4bikesTO #bikelanes #tps

It never ends. This is from Saturday. If we are ever going to turn the tide on unsafe bike lane parking @MayorOliviaChow it has to start at the top. Those that allegedly enforce the rules of the road must be exemplarily in their adherence to those rules #bikeTO 1/2

@BlairScorgie Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) has highly efficient Teleferica moving tens of thousands of people per hour with near perfect reliability. Construction cost on order of 1% (One Percent) of any subway. Scarborough would be up and running in 12 months.

Reason #1: High passenger capacity. Gondolas can accommodate between 4,000 to 6,000 passengers per hour per direction depending on the design.

Hear me out - The @cityoftoronto should consider installing a gondola lift system to connect Ward's Island, Cherry Beach, and potentially also Tommy Thompson Park. This is why.🧵 #TOpoli

@BlairScorgie A Teleferica linking Toronto Island is really only a start - A decent gondola system costs on order of 1% of surface transit or subway and can be 'incementally expanded.' Here is a video I made extolling Teleferica - youtu.be/alH-bcAUEEU?si…

@Joeys4b Your are unequivocally correct - @TorontoPolice officers do not engage on road safety issues. Never so much a as flash of lights and a 'move along.'

The fact that enforcement has fallen off, to the point anyone can practically do anything on the road is why people are dying all over Toronto. It's a far cry from the 1980s. With no enforcement, Vision Zero is "Zero Vision."

@PCPappy @TPSMyronDemkiw @TrafficServices @TPSKellySkinner @TPSMattMoyer However - largely unenforced by @TorontoPolice

A G1 novice driver was caught on a joy ride using a cell phone. Using a cell phone while driving is illegal, even at red lights & stop signs. 🚫 The punishment is severe: $615 fine, 3 demerit points & a 3-day suspension. Don't risk it. #RoadSafety #DriveSafe #VisionZero

@JohnLeePettim13 @GasPriceWizard Meanwhile - every single person "protesting" has a higher bank balance as result of the pollution price. Also - the pollution price is exploited by oil and gas companies as a smokescreen to disguise their rainsing retail prices.

@johngatti2 Canada - and Alberta - is experiencing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage from the climate emergency. Fires - rain - snow - flooding - huge. Canadians are benefiting from the price on pollution.

@petrocanada hello - why are you closing your "electric highway?" Petro-Canada chargers were a welcome addition and generally awesome.

@PCPappy @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPSBaus @TPSKellySkinner @TPSMattMoyer @oliviachow @TrafficServices @jackgurrr How many distracted tickets issued annually by TPS in comparison with other police agencies?

Rush hour enforcement nabs 25 distracted drivers on Bayview Ave. Some of the drivers are on their 2nd conviction. $615 fine, 3 demerits, 3 day suspension. Put away the phone 1 of the drivers who had their head down while driving 60 km said to go after the criminal #VisionZero

@philippedemo @MorningstarDBRS This story is essentially misinformation.

A collision, 2 months and $18K later, a couple worries their electric vehicle insurer will raise rates – a recent @MorningstarDBRS report says higher uptake of EVs can lead to higher premiums cbc.ca/news/business/… #cdnecon #EV

@PicturesFoIder Murderous behaviour by police.

Police officer purposely slams on brakes to get biker to crash into him on the highway 😳
