Well, let me explain it to you — because they’re trying to do it here in Canada, too, using the term “remigration.”
This is important:
Yes, totally agree —especially for all junctions within at least 500 meters around a school.

-Better lighting at crossings, especially in school zones.
-Automated traffic calming (speed feedback signs, timed signals) to discourage speeding.
1/3: honestly, we need more than awareness messages. Concrete measures would make intersections safer:
-Cameras with license plate recognition to fine reckless drivers.
-Real speed bumps and raised crosswalks that actually force cars to slow down.

Just an hour ago, I saw an SUV going about 80 km/h run a red light, at the same spot where less than two months ago a reckless driver hit a child and fled the scene. Today’s offender nearly killed a woman.

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet.
So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here:

13.09.2025 15:43 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Take it easy man, I’d just like to see the federal government be more proactive with stronger actions on housing. I don’t see why you feel the need to defend them so much just because someone demands more from them on such a basic issue
13.09.2025 15:40 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0People have every right to demand from all levels of government when it comes to basics like housing. Provinces and municipalities share responsibility, but that doesn’t change the fact it’s wrong for the feds to treat housing as secondary while LNG expansion is a nation-building priority
13.09.2025 14:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Great, sounds ambitious but so far it feels more like promise than a serious proposal. It’s not even on the list of ‘nation-building’ projs. Nothing on how an average fam can cover a down payment or transfer tax, and nothing on how rents will be kept in check for those who can’t or don’t want to buy
12.09.2025 15:55 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Housing, despite being one of the biggest social and economic challenges, was not included in this initial package of nation-building projects. It’s a shame, a lack of vision, and it really reflects this government’s priorities --housing doesn’t even appear to be on their radar as something urgent
12.09.2025 15:14 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Yeah, I know it’s on the list, but it’s ridiculous that Canada still doesn’t have a single high-speed rail line while much smaller economies have had them for decades. Prioritizing LNG and mines while the busiest corridor in the country is stuck in the 1970s just shows how little vision we’ve had.

Political violence is the murder of at least tens of thousands of Palestinians and the displacement and intentional starvation of millions.
Political violence is what the police do every day.
And what happened with the Toronto–Quebec City High-Speed Rail Network?
