that's hard to distinguish when looking at reviews.

Perhaps if the reviews are time concentrated or not?

Half of base Edmonton lives in St. Albert. They can just drive by punch some Nazis in the face on their way to work. No need to make it an official act.

Prostitution is legal in Canada.

Solicitation for Prostitution is illegal.

He's got a grudge for Rick Mercer making fun of him for having a full pension at 31 after 6 years in office.

15 years ago.

I disagree, but maybe it's because I have kids of my own now.

Samu has been in Canada for one year and eight months, experiencing difficulty landing a job — especially without a permanent address.

This is an issue we had with a tiny home pilot in Kingston. A permanent address is critical to being allowed to participate in society. The tiny homes did not provide a permanent address. So whole it solved some aspects of homelessness, it missed the mark on this one.

I hope this Toronto project was able to get addresses.

the FAO estimates that retaining the original operators would have cost the Province a total of $10.9 million. Compared to Scenario A, the $11.7 million cost of the Staples Canada agreement results in an additional cost of $0.8 million. In contrast, the Province estimated net savings from the Staples Canada agreement of $0.9 million, largely due to a lower estimated cost for the Staples Canada agreement.

You can haul a family of four around town on an e-bike (it's how I do the daycare run in the morning).

Intercity transit SHOULD be easily accessible by train, but we decided we don't do that here.

People also choose cars because of marketing, the built environment which provides them few protected spaces, societal pressures, and decision inertia.

Many multicar families could easily swap a car put with an e-bike.

And the fact that cars are the only viable way to get to grannies 2 cities over, it a terrible indicator that our infrastructure prioritizes cars/car infrastructure/car related profits, through a massive pay wallet that somewhere around 20% of the population over 16 can't even use no matter how much cash they have, and obviously the population under 16 can't use at all.

Yes. I very much enjoy leisurely riding my bike to work instead of turning into an absolute cunt the second I touch a steering wheel.

Do any of you face similar challenges

Sounds like, I'm in a fairly ideal suburb for everything I need but the distances can be far for things I want

do you just drive when it makes the most sense to drive?

My biggest mental shift was instead of "driving if it makes sense to drive" to "driving if it doesn't make sense to walk/bike/transit."

Basically I look at all other methods of transit/destinations first; then drive only if required.

Biggest example: I usually take the bike and trailer to drop my kid off at daycare on the way to work. Weather hasn't stopped me yet; but if the school busses are canceled, I will drive because there's a marked increase in more drivers paying less attention on the roads I must take. If I had separated bike facilities I could still bike.

"Electric vehicle incentives"

Only cars.

E-bike/micromobility incentives would go WAY farther than anything for cars. The $5000 incentive for one car could outright buy 2-3 ebikes what would have a bigger impact. Alternatively, $500 per e-bike would be ~25% the cost and be able to subsidize 10 times the number of vehicles.

Ontarians, I need your help.

This week I was pulled over by the police for having a kid's seat on my e-bike. I was informed this is illegal in Ontario as Sec. 38 of the HTA doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 to be on a power-assisted or motor assisted bicycle.

In 2021 the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act came out that separated power-assisted bicycles (like e-bikes) from motor assisted bicycles (like dirt bikes). This will finally allow child seats on e-bikes.

Please call your MPP to get this bill that passed and assented 3 years ago into law.

Details on the wording of the current and assented laws:

currently the Highway Traffic Act, section 38, states : "No person who is the owner or is in possession or control of a motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle shall permit a person who is under the age of 16 years to ride on, drive or operate the motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle on a highwau"

the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, C. 26 - Bill 282 splits this into a few sections: "No person under the age of 14 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (a) of the definition" "No person under the age of 16 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (b) or (c)" and the new section 38.1: "No person under the age of 16 years shall ride on, drive or operate a motor assisted bicycle on a highway" From my perspective this will make e-bikes legal to have kids seats; and separate the class away from gas and electric dirt bikes.

 

Who's going to win?

I guess owl wait longer for the results.
