Regarding the Star article: great to see a well written and informed piece like that in a major paper. I like the line:

Second, Canada is a big country but people don't regularly commute from Tuktoyaktuk to Toronto. In fact, Canadian motorists make an average of 2,000 trips each year that are less than three kilometres, trips that can easily be made by bike.

And we also have a good friend at the Record in Waterloo. Definitely worth reading, especially if you're a politician with some influence.
