Pedestrians should have one moment in the light cycle for people to cross in any direction with no cars in the intersection (a scramble intersection). It works like a dream in Quebec City.

Sam Sutherlandβs 2012 book βPerfect Youth: The Birth of Canadian Punkβ traced the rise of such genre pioneers as D.O.A. and Teenage Head and placed them in a broader cultural context. With βIn Too Deepβ (House of Anansi), authors Matt Bobkin and Adam Feibel grab the baton to showcase the next generation. Subtitled βWhen Canadian Punks Took Over the World,β the book offers well-told origin stories of Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan, Billy Talent and others, while not neglecting the contributions of lesser known, but still significant bands like Boys Night Out and Moneen. βDavid McPherson
