That sub is so toxic. I fully support vote reform, though my preferred system is ranked choice/mixed member proportional. Any comments asking legitimate questions about how 100% proportion representation would work in Canada is shot down, and often deleted.
Highway interchanges aren’t good places for pedestrians or cyclists at the best of times. Just take a look at the current intersection.
Taxis existed before Uber and Lyft. What’s being touted is that AVs will be cheaper and more available than ridesharing, the same way ridingsharing was to taxis.
As the video points out, what you’re describing is very similar to what was said about Uber & Lyft. At first glance, a cheaper, more available taxi service seems like it should reduce road usage. However, that assumes car trips are replaced by rideshare trips. In actuality, when Uber & Lyft have entered a market, it has resulted in increased road usage. This is because of induced demand, and if rideshares are replacing another form of transportation, it’s usually public transit, walking, or biking, not driving.
Biased. Blech.
AKA the Fraser Institute.
Similarly, New Brunswick elected a Liberal majority which plans to roll back most of the previous government’s transgender policies.
Yeah, but it was also written at a time when the most advanced armaments available were bolt-action rifles.
Actually, according to Wikipedia, “The first bolt-action rifle was produced in 1824” so that’s decades after the second amendment was ratified.
He’s not wrong, exactly. The second amendment doesn’t say “keep and bear some kinds of arms”, it just says “keep and bear arms”.
It’s kind of vague though. If a kid asks, “Can I have ice cream,” and their parents say, “Yes, you can have ice cream,” it doesn’t mean the kid can have whatever ice cream them want and in whatever quantities they want.
As a non-American, I always find it funny how some people revere the framers as having future vision and somehow infallible.
Sure, but that has almost no impact on Fed policies.
I’m not sure why you’re responding to my comment. What you said seems to be completely unrelated to what I said.
As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, that’s not inflation. That’s a lack of purchasing power, not inflation which is a loss of purchasing power. We lost that purchasing power over 2022 and 2023, but the difference in price between November of 2023 and now is relatively small.
Which is a made up target with a wide margin. Many economists think a stable inflation rate might be 3% or higher! So 2.4% might already be on target.
That definition is literally describing a change, as rate of change.
Inflation is a loss of purchasing power
Over the past year, we haven’t experienced a loss of purchasing power. We have a lack of purchasing power, but we lost it over the 2-3 years prior to the last year.
a rise in prices for goods and services over time
This is pretty much the mathematical definition of a rate of change. Like how speed is the rate of change in position over time. After a day of traveling, your position (prices for goods) may be way different than your starting point, but if you’re not currently moving, your speed (inflation) is NIL.
Inflation rate and inflation are the same. You’re confusing inflation with affordability.
The inflation is still high
Where are you getting that from? That’s not what the numbers say.
While the party make-up and views were pretty similar, Harper ruled the party with a pretty firm hand. Even though many of the religious-right wanted socially conservative policies, he generally didn’t let them question things like abortion. I’m not sure Poilievre has the same control over the party.
People from rural areas don’t drive to Toronto very often. It’s the drivers from the suburbs that you’re thinking of.
This is definitely wrong. For example, I know Canada has reactors under construction: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1002543/ontario-breaks-ground-on-world-leading-small-modular-reactor
I’d suggest deleting and re-posting. At this point, it’s an old post and probably not going to get the traction you want.
Oh The Urbanity! is a couple, and they live in Montreal. They previously lived in Toronto, but I think it’s been a decade or more.
