Canpoli, Toronto

(4/4) and lastly...

- Aligning City Staff's day-to-day expenditures to prioritize Canadian businesses. Will now require explicit City Manager approval for City-related business travel to the US. Adding limits on incidental employee and business expenses from US retailers, and limits on employee use of US-based rideshare programs (read as Uber/Lyft) where locally-owned alternatives exist (read as taxis).

It's good that my hometown is practicing what we preach. Go Mayor Chow!

Canpoli, Toronto

(2/4) Each point is great, but I'll pick the 3 that stand out to me:

- New competitive procurement contracts under ~$350k for goods/services and under ~8.8M for construction projects will only have Canadian companies as eligible to bid, and greater discretion against US companies when in the City's public interest, and explore strategies to find alternative suppliers to typically US-sourced products.

Americans, it's not personal, you're still welcome here. Your moral and economic support for us is more important than ever. It would be nice for us Canadians if you could go ahead and tackle the source of the issue, though.

cw: Trump tariff cdnpoli

At this point, Canadians everywhere know to call Trump on his bluff. Good job to all of us keeping up the pressure, despite Trump trying the same trick again this month. Don't lift until the White House stops threatening us.

Keep doing your part by keeping your money up North.

With Alto High Speed Rail:

I've been hearing a lot of "this will never happen", "Trudeau is buying votes", "government is handing billions to his buddies at SNC" online...

I'm optimistic but I'm also not that naive to ignore the timing of it being political. But this is just the end of the several years-long procurement phase and the start of the design phase of the Canadian high-speed rail project.

Canadians, Rail-tooters, give me your takes.

Deutsche, ihr müsst nicht 90 Jahre zurückgehen, um euch daran zu erinnern, was passiert.

Seht euch an, was gerade in Amerika passiert. Das ist die chaotische Zukunft, die Trump, Musk, Bannon und die AfD-CDU-Koalition für euer Land wollen. Ablehnen den Faschismus.

Danken von Kanada.

[031] A railroad bridge between Benicia and Martinez, #California, the center and oldest of the three bridges, built in 1930. The section of Highway 680 that surrounds it was built in 1962 and 2007. The newer northbound bridge is tolled.

It's a frequent passenger corridor for the Capitol Corridor Amtrak service between #Sacramento and the #SanFrancisco Bay Area.

Ontarians!! Advance voting is open. GO!

I know there's a lot going on right now. I know it's February. It's cold, and you're buried in snow. But #DougFord is trying to use this to tip-toe by you and take Premier-ship again for the next 4-5 years.

His platform's empty, other than an expensive and useless 401 highway tunnel. He wastes your money removing complete bike lanes, shields himself from accountability on Hwy 413, and Americanize your healthcare.

One of my favourite urbanism channels coming out with their take against Trump's threats to Canada.

Let's Talk About This "51st State" Insanity

https://video.canadiancivil.com/w/3q83aP8ZLNp26JPGRdtzXt

It echoes my and many Canadians' current animosity towards the US. It's not a personal thing about any Americans outside the Trump admin and MAGA. Y'all are friends and neighbours. But you've got problems that you need to figure out quickly, because it is hurting us and destroying our mutual trust.

Trump, congestion pricing

@politics

Sorry in advance folks, I couldn't figure out how to make a Link Post from Mastodon.

Also frightening is Trump's reaction to this on Truth Social, casually referring to himself as king:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

USDoT Sec. Sean Duffy pulls federal authorization for New York's Congestion Pricing.

The toll has only done good for Manhattan, NYC, transit, car traffic in the region, the air quality and environment, the cab industry, and local business.

I really hope #KathyHochul has an alternate plan lined up (maybe they can move the cameras off the freeway).

Massive news for #HighSpeedRail #Canada:

Trudeau announced the winning bidder (Cadence: SNCF, AtkinsRealis and others), the design phase budget ($4B Cdn.), design timeline (5-6 years before construction), and said about 1000km of dedicated, electrified railways to be built between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal.

It couldn't have been a better time to announce such a big project milestone when Canadians have been looking for ways to invest in ourselves. This is perfect.

Amazing job by the first responders at #YYZ, having no immediate fatalities with a plane reportedly losing its wings, flipping over and catching fire upon landing. That's unequivocally a success story in an unfortunate weather incident.
