Any "deals" with Trump are not worth the paper they're written on anyways.

What is the timeline and budget (and scope) for this road redesign? I keep reading this on this forum and reddit, and it just seems like an excuse to do nothing. You can tell the argument is not genuine care for actually slowing down traffic, because if it was, we would want to remove the...

Sure. But this is a problem on practically every street / road in this province, and fixing it would be in the 100s of billions of dollars at minimum, which could be used for transit instead. And this plan would also start seeing loud opposition as soon as the first few projects were completed...

Sure there is. The first never happened, and the second most certainly did.

I would say an absolutist position is being against speed cameras. At a certain point, you need to say, you can't go faster than X, as there will always be people which will test the limits. If you're not willing to go that far, why even have speed limits at all? It makes the act of getting a...

While I agree in theory, it gives a tool for someone who may have a completely different interpretation of what hate is. Look at the Republicans redefining what refugees are worthy (white south africans) of entrance. Imagine this being extended to hate speech, where the government can say...

No. As someone on the (very far) left I vehemently disagree with this. Because guess who's going to be setting limits on what speech is allowed now? That power will eventually be in the hands of someone you disagree with, and then what? For those that haven't watched, here's a great defense of...

Honestly, the problem is not delivering iterative results that are perceptible to the average person, and a stunning failure of communication and setting expectations. Instead of selling a grand vision, they need to focus on 1 or 2 things, and drive them to completion, then focus on the next...

Of course there will be. Even North Korea has elections. And Donald loves a good horse.race, it keeps the ratings up. Doesn't mean the playing field won't be heavily tilted.

The problem will be you will then have kilometers of light rail to nowhere, since most people will not do the 450m walk (+ stairs/elevators). It would be a downgrade over the bus service. The LRT needs to connect to the rest of the network. This shouldn't be this hard, just fund the thing.

Pathetic and weak. This enshrines our position as a vassal state to the US for the foreseeable future.

I have a home charger, so, I don't count that ;). That's the key to being able to enjoy your EV.

People that have never owned an EV just don't understand how much more convenient it is, and unless you have a very abnormal use case you'll spend less time "charging" than you would fuelling up. I'm over 70K in about 3 years, and have used a fast charger maybe 20 times, and that was only on...

These companies have too much influence over other countries and if anything, this should have come sooner, and the pushback needs to be bigger.

lol. Carney should publically say we're now pursuing a 6% tax, but privately let the cry baby president know we can make it 3% if he negotiates in good faith, and stops making threats against our sovereignty. Also, the auto industry here is as good as dead if anything due to the uncertainty, the...
