mean....you really don't need an extensive subway network here

Found the 905'er

The streetcar network is a complete shitshow. Multiple streetcars bunched up, with hundreds of people inside, being blocked by a few SUV drivers and parked cars on the side of the street.

Its faster to bike or walk in most cases.

Same for the buses. There's a reason the bus lines here have nicknames like "the sufferin' dufferin"

What does Ja Rule think???

Money that could have been used to build transit instead of clogging up the streets with more cars....

TL;DR

havent we had child tax incentives at various gov't levels forever? Is this a new thing invented by danielle smith?

This is SO EFFING COOL!!!

I consider myself pretty tech savvy and i've been trying to contribute to OSM wherever i can, but it really is a big learning curve

This is a really cool way to contribute!

You should post this in some other tech related communities!

Today, i watched two incidents of selfish drivers trying to squeeze into the intersection when it was clear they would be blocking when the light turned. Traffic completely halted on York and Adelaide by two idiot drivers

But yeah, it's the bikes that are the problem

Drivers are really stupid...

Please take PP with you

My comment wasnt directed at you. Just the text you quoted from the article

We are on the same page, :)

Slow travel is good, but we should have high speed trains also, like every other developed country.

Lets not try to paint our slow and outdated trains as something good

I assume some devs don't disclose

So much freedom in one picture!

Damn those bike lanes for ruining it all!

There's a difference between having high marginal taxes on the rich, and actually collecting them

He already caved on taxing big tech, so dont hold your breath

They're always the "law and order" types except when it comes to traffic laws

Where i live, municipal roads are maintained by the city. Funded by property taxes.

The vast majority of fuel taxes are collected by the federal gov't and provinces. There is nothing that goes directly to fund roads. This is such a fundamental piece of misinformation by drivers in canada.

Anyway, back to the point about city roads (everything other than highways).

I contribute the same amount to road maintenance as my neighbor. I have no car. Neighbor has a giant SUV that makes a ton of wear and tear on the roads, and contributes to city gridlock.

Do drivers think the $50 they pay for street parking permit comes even CLOSE to the value of the real estate they take up 24/7?

Who do you think is subsidizing who here? I walk and bike "for free"... And drivers frame it as us who are freeloaders?

Despite your support for pedestrians, framing them as getting shit for free is inaccurate (at least in canada. I know the article is about AUS)

The fuck does this have to do with class? A civic is just as likely to kill me as a mercedez when all the drivers on the road these days are speeding and distracted

And yes, fines should be proportional to income, or better yet, value of the vehicle (since many rich people find ways to hide their income)

I dont really care that the average person still uses twitter... What's INFURIATING is that gov't agencies are still using that shit. Why are important pieces of information still being shared on twitter??

So instead of falling for nike marketing, you want to fall for vans and hoka marketing?

More lanes means more cars, which means more safety! Duh!!

We need to protect kids by making sure they dont do dangerous things like walk. If we build the proper infraastructure, this poor child could have been protected inside an SUV, instead of being forced to use two legs.

I have tiny trump hands, so ergonomically not the best controller for me

But i still love my steam controller.
