Strangely enough china's cheap-ass cars are coming to the rescue. Since they're available. They're making the dodges and Lincolns consider smart-car-sized bare conveyances.

I'll buy they for c$12k

Aw jeez not this again.

The cars are zero added emission. Their upstream may not be.

And [checks the country this is in] the vast majority of our power comes from hydroelectric, unless you're in a backward province feeding on the dinosaur juice teat.

Edit: the article doesn't list a location, but the publication itself hints it's in the town where they have the naked hippie parades every year.

... Which is awesome.

I want them to travel to Europe and Asia and then come back and suffer on via rail. It’s not just new dedicated tracks that are needed, it’s a complete restructure of the passenger experience!

FABULOUS idea. Have them ride transit too, and maybe ferries and ensure they take notes as they fly over, as long as it's not a North American airline.

Um, but avoid Sweden. We had a bear of a time navigating the variable train system there at what we're hearing is a very 'cost-efficient' time where passengers suffer for the experience.

Yep, from the station at the 19 & 417 south of Vanier. Oh! They put up Tremblay station there, in a rare intermodal connection of the type we rarely see out here. (left Nepean 7 years ago so missed the train system they put up using the same failing tech that got that guy fired from Vancouver)

Vancouver to Toronto has 62 stops in-between, including Edmonton but skipping Calgary.

Vancouver to Toronto and a sleeper cabin for 2

2 and a child, if I read it correctly. Did you mis-read?

is a few grand I think.

$3400 one-way, booked 3 weeks in advance, as long as one parent suffers a public berth little better than a rack. A round-trip ticket can be under $8 thousand with careful planning. https://reservia.viarail.ca/en/booking

Porter air, YVR->YYZ->YVR 5 hours each way and a $1,500 itinerary for 2 adults and a child.

Idk

Consider your audience: they're over 14.

I hope the gov (fed, prov, muni) are prepared to invest big time in infrastructure.

That needs to be on the mandate anyway.

the negative externalities to health, safety,

see: Car Insurance Costs

road wear,

you're thinking a Road Tax like the UK? That's coming; but I'll only vote on it if it pays MoT AND MoT takes over a completely-public mass-transit

parking,

User-fees

and pollution.

E car; but I can get behind a levy on car insurance through our publicly-managed consolidated regional single-base-insurer, for Internal Combustion Engine cars.

Drivers don’t currently pay those costs,

It seems the only thing missing is the road tax; and that's just because they're in love with their volatile user fees for transit despite the near-collapse of CEO bonuses during the pandemic.

... at least.

I miss Hinterland Who's Who, and I enjoyed the Crack Spider's Bitch parody.

Explain why they're not supporting climate change prevention measures with every fibre of their being; instead, they seem to overwhelmingly vote to ignore the problem.

Canada has a history that includes the longer sniper shot on a moving target and also tactics that involve shelling our own position and staggering down to Washingston DC for some Light Remodeling. Our forests are so thick that a group of people were lost for a week less than 10 minutes' drive outside of town.

I'm okay not cleaving to the US immediately. They won't see us, they won't find us, until they're upon us and the artillery lights up .

I forget whom Canada mass-killed.

Demand King Charles no longer be our king.

Tell us you don't understand the risks to our own government setup, why don't you?

Did 'show read posts' suddenly stop working?

If you are poor

You say "not rich" funny.

The cost of healthcare - acute and preventative - was a major factor in my decision to cut short my stay there after 5 years and abandon my green card options. I was working in I-T for a great company with what I was told by a work-chum was a great medical plan; so I was up there for earnings among the 99%. Top-ten, maybe top-5%.

Fuck no. I can't hinge my future on ensuring I don't get taken to the wrong hospital by an ambulance.

I’d like to be able to afford a home in the near future.

If by 'a home' you include a vast and hoarded greenspace, I think you're on track to learn about land costs.

A region that is, in places, more densely-populated than manhattan, needs to be realistic about shared greenspace.

Change it back to what the Clovis people called it.
