I went to a talk by Jeanette Sadik-Khan, NYC's former transportation commissioner, earlier this year. She built hundreds of miles of bike lanes and turned broadway & 5th into a pedestrian plaza. The usual suspects lined up to protest saying it would cause gridlock and harm retail business. The result was improved trip times for everyone including motorists, increased business sales, fewer collisions and fewer fatalities.

Incidentally, one of my oldest friends made the mistake of cycling on Bloor St before the bike lane and was run over by a car, which fled the scene.

PS: Harper appointed that bougie cow because she fundraised for the CPC.

I'm reminded of that episode of some Jamie Oliver show where he goes to a U.S. school and tries to gross out the kids by showing them how chicken nuggets are really made, and was then aghast like some classist dweeb when some of the kids dared to eat it. I was mostly impressed at how efficient and not-wasteful the whole process was.

I mean if that's how tasty pus cells are then maybe I've been wrong about pus this whole time.

California's almond farms are extremely environmentally destructive and are sucking up an obscene amount of water, which they must continue to do even during drought conditions because a farmer can't just leave an almond plantation fallow during a dry season like they can with vegetable crops.


OTOH almonds are helping to bring us closer to the day when we get to decide if we're going to sell them our water or if they're going to take it.

Wonder how many water rights the Koch Brothers have locked down already?

The important context here is that there's a by-election in Scarborough—Rouge River where all three parties should be on paper competitive, and Scarborough—Rouge River happens to have a lot of socially conservative POC.




And you'll remember, of course, that party leaders have a habit of committing themselves to terrible policy in order to win Scaborough by-elections.

That's been true for most of North America's history, but in many respects the children of immigrants to Europe are even more conservative than their parents were. Let's hope that doesn't happen here.

It's a little bit dated but Tom Flanagan's piece on how ethnic voters around Toronto were instrumental to Harper's 2011 majority and will likely be instrumental to future Conservative majorities is still worth reading.

I'm also not convinced social conservatism will fade away after a generation when you have large communities living in suburbs that may limit their day-to-day interactions with people different than themselves. That's just speculation on my part but I'm skeptical that the suburbs of the golden horseshoe will have the same kind of melting-pot effect living in the core of a major city might have. All the more so given Canadian society has such a weakly defined social fabric to begin with.

Out of curiosity, does this hold for non-Muslim immigrants? It is certainly the case that many children of Muslim immigrant families are appearing quite susceptible to radicalization, but I'm curious if this holds true for other immigrants as well. Are African christian immigrants, for example, turning ultra-Christian? Are the children of Hindu immigrants turning ultra-Hindu? I'm guessing it's more a reaction to Islamophobia and the feeling that their religion and culture is under attack in the case of the children of Muslim immigrants, as opposed to something that holds true across all immigrant groups.
