Massive delays for international flights at @TorontoPearson due to a fire earlier this evening. This is the view of folks waiting for security screening to reopen.
All flights to US from T1 cancelled. #pearsonfire

In Toronto this year so far, the average age of a person who walks killed by a person who drives is 65.2. 2/3 of them were killed by trucks. With the population getting older and the trucks getting taller, why are we fighting over countdown timers? https://t.co/57975cSfhd https://t.co/6hpLKKywVe

“Students want more agency over how they learn, what they learn, and when they learn,” @ahsanhilal says.

“And when you give students ownership of their learning, they do better.”

30 years ago there was an elevated freeway in front of the San Francisco Ferry Building - we most definitely can and must retrofit our cities for a healthier, more sustainable future
