Not to mention we already spent tax dollars putting them in, why should we waste money ripping them out just to spend more sticking them in again under a new government?

We’ve got jealous of how wild things get in the USA and we had to step up our ridiculous policies to keep fitting in

A proper stroad should have highway speeds (80+), many intersections, every business is allowed direct driveway access, no sidewalk to make room for more car lanes, and there must be at least 3 drive thrus per kilometer.

All cars are bad for the environment, electric cars slightly less bad.

Isn’t Canada too big for bike lanes? I can’t bike from Toronto to Halifax! And the train would take ages to go from Montreal, QC to Victoria BC. Why are you assaulting my freedom of movement by pushing these things on us!?!?!? /s

That is 100% part of our problems with housing, road maintaince and municipal budgeting. We don’t have to sprawl just because we have massive amounts of land, we can also build denser cities, transit oriented develolments, and walkable neighbourhoods.

Cities in Europe have managed to build modern neighbourhoods without sprawl, we could too. We need to stop using the excuse “my country/province is too big for transit” when the majority of people travel within their own metropolitan area on a daily basis.

Well to win, the jeep would have to be running, so most would be disqualified before the match even starts. If the ref is feeling nice they can allow up to 3 attempts to start the jeep.

A lot of us don’t have that choice if we are expected at work at certain times. I know i kinda appreciate it because it makes mornings brighter and easier to see pedestrians and such during my commute.

Not only that, the LCBO should have to take bottles as well.

If you want to sell alcohol and get those juicy profits, you should have to do the bottle return, no exceptions. If you can’t make that profitable, don’t sell the alcohol.

This was my first thought. Instead of an app and relying on a consuner to have the technology, why dont we put in a parking machine that can accept cards and cash?

Friendly reminder that nearly any canadian city of substantial population had electric trams decades ago. If we could build electrified transit then, we could certainly build it now.

How useful really is transit if everyone has to drive to their train station? The fact they greenlit so much rail should mean they should be fighting for more bike lanes, not less.

We can’t afford to build rail but we can afford to pointlessly rip out bike lanes and still not fix traffic.

I doubt machine learning has been very accessible to most home buyers, especially a few years ago. Plus real estate business makes it sound like they do all that kind of work for you, and realistically that should be part of their job. I should be able to ask a realtor for a full site assessment including any environmental sampling that had been done and maps like flood maps.

Forever replacing the job of the intern.

Oh no, the property value which had doubled over the past 10 years might drop a little bit. This has completely ruined my finances and now I’ll never get to retire in an even bigger house.

Can you really call a sea of single family homes and overgrown backyards a city? I get that cities get bigger, but if we are going to pave over farmland lets fit more than 5-10 people per acre.

Yet here in Canada, we pave over our farmland to build McMansions and strip malls. Sure we can feed our own country and then some still, but is this really the best use of such high quality arable land?

Part of the problem is we refuse to upgrade our voting system to some kind of ranked ballot system. By sticking with the current system, it supports the idea that only 2 parties really have a shot and you “waste” your vote when voting outside of them.
