Cycling is slower only for highways. Every other type of road, cycling is as fast or faster than driving

If to this you add the option of using the metro. Cycling is always faster.

I have done the experiment door-to-door and every single time i get there before my wife.

And what is the benefit of such data centers for the population?

So, they want cyclists to wear helmets and high-vis to stay safe. , instead of focusing on the people committing harm they focus on blaming the victims . Guess we should stop funding safety features in parks and blame those pesky kids for being kidnapped…

As I tell every single driver complaining about bicycles. Just imagine each one of them driving a F150 in front of you and tell me how much worse traffic would be.

Even more, investment in cycling infrastructure in Greater Montreal, resulted in qc being the #1 destinations for cycle tourism in America. Bringing in more than $700M of direct spending (100M of tax revenue) and 6,000 jobs . This tax revenue more than offsets any costs related to infrastructure.

Want to talk about spending. Montreal spends 0.5% of transportation budget on bike infrastructure (management, maintenance and construction) . While 7% uses active transportation in summer and 3% in winter. The budget is unfair, you are correct, but unfair with cyclists.

I definitely agree with him. This issue should have been resolved already, everyone in those lists investigated and charged accordingly. Reparations given to the victims and legal framework so this doesn’t happen again . And when that happens, we can move on.

Montreal has been doubling bike usage in winter since the bike paths started to be cleared from snow.

Winters dont get much harder than Montreal.

Similar with a car, you need a second set of winter wheels. Bring winter clothing and if paths are clear it is safer than driving.

One of the phrases only said by people that don’t even bike in clear summer days.

That is my main reason to cycle-commute. Instead of 45 mins being part of traffic. I have 1 hour being apart from everything but myself…

Unfortunately I have to go through suburbs to get to my work and they don’t plow the bike paths. For now I am part of traffic until black ice is no more

With near 0 benefit to the population. AI is an amazing development, unfortunately it is being used to make the world so much worse for almost everyone and everything.

Imagine society not having the need to work to produce what we need. Instead is used to exploit us and deplete common resources

That could be literally any day other than pay-check day.

I cant put my finger on why they don’t strike me as the world travelling kind.

Barron… maybe

And musk… dont forget DOGE

They cant de-certify based on country of manufacture. They would have to change technical requirements which affects every business jets, not only Canadian

impact American made (and every other business jet manufacturer) . Making it even more expensive to make jets in the US.

Source: I worked 5 years in aircraft certification.

Well. Joke’s on him, Bombardier only makes business jets now. And most American buyers register them in tax havens, which completely circumvents his de-certification for sale.

The only way to make canadian business jets not to operate there is to change the FAA technical requirements which will

I would take PP with a functioning government in the US anyday.

Since there is no functioning government south of the border, at least we got Carney.

I wish there was still an NDP with enough weight to move the needle to the left a bit.

TBH, without Trump, the Conservatives had a better chance of defeating the liberals. Still , the world would definitely be a better place

We need those names! They should be recognized for putting citizens above party.

There can’t be a liberal, let alone a progressive, equivalent of Alex Jones. Unfortunately right wing politics can rely on hatred and misinformation a lot more than left wing ones.

Their base is less educated, heterogeneous, has less ability to think critically or empathetically.

Sure. But again, she would have to save face so her support would be less than with Trump that wants to make Gaza a “resort” for the rich.

And she was a lot more progressive than Biden, some people didn’t vote for her because she was too progressive, others because she was too establishment.

It makes sense since the vast majority of people do not commit any crimes.

Your stats show arrests, not convictions. That is why racial minorities are over-represented since they are policed so much more than white people yet commit about the same rate of crimes or less (adjusted for socioeconomic conditions)

I mean, most spy movies show this in one way or another. As soon as the bad guy enters the consulate in an exotic location, 007 gets frustrated and pouts.

Yeah that happens… but as always, a cyclist doing something dangerous ONLY endangers their own safety. A car driver most of the time endangers everyone but themselves .

Can I borrow your plan?

I hate that being empathetic and caring for others is not normal.

Every single time. I have at least managed to get some friends and family to realize that common sense is shutting down progress and new ideas since it really means, we don’t know why, but it has always been done this way without much thought into it.
