Land use in 100 emoji for the four largest Metro Vancouver cities.

Reviving this fun format from a couple of years ago with updated data.

Public Transit has a marketing problem in Canada. Not to customers (who love it) but to senior governments (who are apparently not even aware it exists). May I propose:

"Transit. It's like a pipeline, but for people!"

Incredible to see this billboard up in Vancouver.
So happy to have worked with the amazing people @visionzerovancouver.ca

We got new racks (of both kinds) at Simon Fraser Elementary as well. I did not realize scooter racks were a thing!

I'm sorry. But if an SUV clips your handle bars while you are biking along a bike route, it's 100% the car drivers fault.

Infuriating that the VPD is somehow blaming this on the cyclist.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

New Expo Deck path to open late May Vancouver Seawall and Seaside Greenway path users will soon be closer to the water when walking or cycling by Science World.

The City of Vancouver has announced a gravel path next to the seawall to connect the area between Science World and Olympic Village next month, replacing the much criticized 400-metre detour through a busy road that they originally implied could last for seven years

2025 By-election results for Vancouver. Sean Orr (COPE) - 34,448 Lucy Maloney (OneCity) - 33,732

2022 Vancouver Election Results for Councillor Christine Boyle (OneCity) - 38,465 Iona Bonamis (OneCity) - 33,745 Jean Swanson (COPE) - 32,833

Congratulations to @seanorr.bsky.social and @lucymaloney.bsky.social. Huge victories in the Vancouver by-election.

Orr did better than Swanson in the last general. Maloney would have been a top vote getter too.

This is more than just a motivated opposition. There's a shift away from ABC. #vanpoli

Reminds me of an interview with a dietitian about healthy choices. They said "if I could only look at one line on the nutrition table, it would be fibre" and that kind of blew my mind.

Feels like we need more of this kind of marketing in Canada. I bet there are a lot of Canadian products that fly under the radar.
