Good Morning #Canada
In 1882, Lieutenant-Governor Dewdney acquired land adjacent to the route of the future CPR line at a site known as Pile-of-Bones. He then announced that this featureless site, distinguished only by collections of bison bones, would be the new capital of the North West Territories in western Canada. Thus, Regina was born out of a national scandal and conflict of interest. It became the provincial capital when Saskatchewan officially joined Canada in 1905. The North West Mounted Police were headquartered in Regina, starting in 1885, and the city remains as a training centre for the RCMP. Regina survived a cyclone in 1916 and a great depression riot in 1935. Recently, they recovered from a marketing faux pas when they canceled their tourism slogan, "Regina: The City That Rhymes With Fun."

Good Morning #Canada
In July 1871, the City of Victoria officially became the capital of British Columbia, when the province joined the rest of Canada. At the time, the city was larger than Vancouver and had served as the most important settlement in the area for decades. The Colony of Vancouver Island also stamped their little feet and demanded that Victoria be designated as the capital in return for the island to join with the mainland to become part of Canada. Captain James Cook was the first British person to set foot on Vancouver Island in 1778, and in 1843, Fort Victoria was established by the Hudson's Bay Company. There is a long history of Vancouver Island serving as a naval base, and today, Victoria is the home of Canada’s Pacific Coast naval and military headquarters in nearby Esquimalt. Victoria is a top tourist destination and is regularly rated top 5 worldwide as an awesome place to live.

This bus is supposed to run every 20 min. Instead I’m walking home in the rain because there’s a missed run and more than half-hour wait.
Daniel Lurie would rather lower Marc Benioff’s taxes than raise enough money to fix this

It is so clear to me that Waymo, Zoox and other robocars are an existential threat to public transit, they exist to kill and devour it, every robotaxi win is a transit loss and vice versa. I'm sounding the alarm as loudly as I know how. But I feel like a Cassandra with how many urbanists won't see this.

Being a transit supporter or progressive under SF Mayor Lurie is like, “Yes, we still have to eat this shit sandwich, but we got a few morsels of actual nutrition added too. And we reduced the amount of shit more than anyone thought possible!”

Nice to see they made Ritual woke ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
