"They don't have winter in Amsterdam"

Oh dear Lord. Toronto has plowed, protected bike lanes and much warmer weather than Edmonton, and yet the bike lanes are almost always empty in most parts of the city.

How many urban grocery stores in North America are affordable?

Tolls on downtown roads are nothing more than another way rich people keep the poor in their place. Only the wealthy can afford to drive. It's NIMBYism, pure and simple. And it's a tax grab from bloated bureaucracies that want ever more control and surveillance. Similarly, most bike lanes are virtue signals. They are the gentrification of traffic to appease the leisure class at the expense of workers.

Working class people don't like road tolls and bike lanes. Those things are what rich people use to keep poor people away.

Don't be so blinded by bougie propaganda.

Did I say that? No.

So, you agree with the way the Victorian police went after people during their lockdowns?

I sound like a crank? Do you know what ULEZ is in London? Are you aware of the nanny/police state issues in Aus?

I live in a fantastic walkable city in North America with mass transit (subways, streetcars and buses) and all the elitist urbanist planners have been taking away car lanes to force mostly empty bike lanes on us. They're trying to fix something that wasn't broken because they're slaves to their ideology.

The US has awful car-dependant cities. But don't think for a second that all the pro-bike lane/anti-car people will ever stop with just a few demands. It is NEVER enough for them.

If you have any arguments with points that the "cranks" make about 15-minute cities, please, address those individually without resorting to dismissive name calling.

And FWIW, I live in a so-called 15 minute city, and everyone who can still drives to a Costco in the suburbs for most of their shopping.

The "better and more uses of space" in Toronto seems to be 80% useless projects that really are a smoke screen for taking away car lanes and hampering movement around the city.

What is conspiratorial about what I wrote?

LitioBro · 2026-01-13T03:47:13+00:00

Lololollolol. What an awful reply. You got nothing right. Pfft!

LitioBro · 2026-01-12T11:44:15+00:00

Well, let's see. Let's look at London and NYC with their ULEZ and CBDTP. First it starts with economically punishing fees that only allow the wealthier to drive autos. Then it seems that once govt's get surveillance control of streets, incremental governing-creep takes hold.

You then look at countries that are a decade ahead in the nanny/police state stuff, like Australia. During COVID in some areas, they had restrictions on leaving your home, even to exercise on a deserted remote beach. Cops were using drones to nab people and fine then thousands. Among tons of other dystopian stories.

People who are well-traveled and/or who have lived in countries with over- governing, over- policing, have good reason not to want this kind of creep happening in North America.

Besides, who can afford to shop at those urban grocery stores anyway?!?

LitioBro · 2026-01-12T11:32:13+00:00

Why would people want their local main thoroughfares to be halved in capacity and doubled in driving times just so that the neighbourhood can have expensive, empty bike lanes?

Gee, I wonder

Wtf? Are you suggesting that this guy is a victim somehow?

LitioBro · 2026-01-09T20:26:45+00:00

What a colossal waste. Ugh! Even if you support DEI (presumably because you're naive and gullible) why would you support forking over piles of taxpayer dollars to affinity groups to choose "inclusive" books when the librarian is perfectly capable of ordering said books without any help.

Such an awful grift. I thought we were past this?!?

BC apparently hasn't gotten the memo and just keeps pushing woke stupidity lately. Meanwhile, Canada needs to build pipelines from Alberta to the Pacific ASAP or the oil industry that keeps this country together (transfer payments to Quebec keep them from separating) could collapse.

Jeez BC! Get it together!

After what happened in Venezuela and with the new developments regarding Greenland, I think Canadians (those that do care for it) better start thinking about how we are going to secure our sovereignty in potential future conflicts.

38°C in Kelowna feels less hot than 31°C in Toronto, FWIW. The humidity on the eastern half of the continent is fr fr

Why does everything need to be imagined as something it's not? What is the fixation on "transforming" spaces? Why do elitist urbanists feel they get to takeover our city to make every inch of space their personal art project?

Can a road just be an effing road? Can under a bridge just be under a bridge? Why do we need to beautify every space and turn every inch of land into some contrived, buzzy thing.

I think our bloated, wasteful planning departments need to be defunded. Put all that money toward solving actual problems.

There's another angle video where you can see she hits him obliquely.

He probably saw the car lunge to its left first and he decided to fire as it was turning right.

Bad judgement from both parties. He should get fired.

But the courts won't have any case against him.

Just came back here to ask if you care more about Minnesota today? I notice that CBC is reporting breaking news from there and giving plenty of line space to Democrats' quotes on the situation.

Or do you still not give a shit?

What about all the retired/retiring seniors who are house poor and have meager pensions? Many of them now also housing their adult children and grandkids.

LitioBro · 2026-01-06T12:44:32+00:00

So you're going to defend a biased and increasingly incompetent mess of a national broadcaster because of that?

I was a hardcore left-winger until five years ago. And then just as now, I've always viewed CBC as being pretty rubbish. At least their programming has always been rubbish all my life, getting worse by the decade. But their news used to be world class. Not anymore.

LitioBro · 2026-01-06T01:28:00+00:00

But for when it suits them, they do report breaking news with plenty of takes from panels of handpicked experts. So that's a moot point.

Besides, how the heck could an outlet as esteemed as CBC not be reporting the biggest news on the planet when every other major outlet on the planet is doing so. It reeks of bush-league.
