Are you kidding? Whatever show Polievre puts on for the cameras, conservatives are thrilled with this budget.

Several of the "nation-building" projects are American companies. We're shoveling billions to American billionaires, including Epstein's biggest donor.

This is the exact rack shown in OP's picture, isn't it?

Drives me nuts readjusting my mirror and light every day because someone hit it trying to get their bike in! Lol

I actually really like that style of hoop because it's the only style that allows a lock around the frame. Much better than this BS we have at work. Agreed, they are annoyingly close together though. What's the alternative? How do you get more bikes in a space by spacing them further apart??

The image depicts tents inside a city, overlaid with a black gradient. A red bar enters from the right side of the image, containing a header that reads “Housing is a crisis.” in bold text. It continues, in smaller text: “So why aren’t we acting like it?” Lower down, a green bar enters from the left side with text that reads “A crisis this big demands a real plan.” which continues in larger text: “The Green Party has one.” In between the bars, body text reads: “When a house catches flame, we send firefighters. When floods impact communities, we rebuild. So why, when millions can’t afford a place to live, are we doing so little?”

A background image of an older house for sale is overlaid by a half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step one:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Stop the bleeding” which continues in smaller text: “Corporate investors are treating homes like stocks. We’ll crack down on corporate greed, stop housing speculation, and put people first.”

A background image of a high-rise construction zone is overlaid by a half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step two:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Public housing investment” which continues in smaller text: “When disaster strikes, we don’t wait years to act. We mobilize. We rebuild. That’s what we need now, a nationwide public housing initiative on a scale we haven’t seen since the 1970s.”

A background image of an apartment building is overlaid by a half-circle at the bottom of the image. A small red bar reads “Step three:” Inside the half-circle, a header reads “Make housing truly affordable” which continues in smaller text: “Current policies define ‘affordable’ as 80% of market rent. But if the market is broken, so is that definition. We’ll ensure no one pays more than 30% of their income on housing, because that’s what affordability actually means.”

Time to treat this like the crisis it is. We act fast in emergencies. We don’t wait for things to get worse. The Green Party has the plan, help us make it happen. #HousingEmergency #ActNow #VoteForIt

Is "local street bikeway" a small residential street with "bike route" signs?

Awesome! But I'm not sure about those categories... What's the difference between a bike path and a cycle track? We have lots of multi-use pathways in Canada, but I have never once come across a dedicated bike path or cycle track. Do you mean a separated/protected bike lanes?
