Over the next year, I'll be riding every passenger train in #Canada. (Starting today, when I board The Canadian from #Vancouver to #Toronto.)

Something incredible is happening. Passenger rail, the most sustainable form of long-distance travel, is coming back to #Canada.
We have 49,000 kms of tracks.
But many of the 6.6M Canadians living in remote, rural, and northern settings have few transport options—particularly as inter-city bus service has been axed. For them, trains can be a true life-line.

Users of the 29th Avenue & Valley Drive bike routes will be pleased to know that (after much delay) the section of Nanton Avenue between Arbutus and Valley has this afternoon been blacktopped. There are now directional, segregated bike lanes with a narrow street for vehicles leaving no room for parking. Sidewalks along both sides are also behind boulevards. It is a very short length but essential. Opening for use must be imminent!
☕ Brew & Build: A Cozy Introvert-Friendly Meetup
The Vibe: This is a warm, small-group meetup designed for depth over distance. If you prefer meaningful conversation over a crowded room, this is for you.
The Boundary: We cap this event at 9 people to keep the energy grounded. Once we are full, RSVP closes!
📅 When: Last Sunday of the month | 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM PST 📍 Location: Cafe La Forêt (Royal Oak). 1-min walk from Skytrain.
We are a community of Vancouver creatives and tech folks imagining a better internet together. We combine empathy and logic to build bridges, not walls.
💎 Big News: Our calendar just hit 100 subscribers! It is an honour to grow with you. This journey started as an idea incubated at #FediCon2025. Thank you to the #OpenWeb community for helping us build this #Vancouver Fediverse Club and Third Space.
Come as you are. Share what you cherish.

👉 Vancouver, pay attention.
Hootsuite provides social media and surveillance tools to ICE. Their CEO has doubled down on the contract.
Monitoring dissent. Tracking public reaction. Managing PR for a violent agency.
This is complicity.

Amtrak's new Airo trainsets will run on Cascades route, calling at #Seattle and #Vancouver, in time for 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Capable of 200 km/h (125 mph), with panoramic windows, + fetching forest-green livery. (Alas, still powered by diesel, not overhead wire.)
