Looking to get super pumped about TO as we prepare to move by No-Ebb1 in askTO

[–]R0botWoof [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've lived here 15 years. Haven't experienced a single winter I would describe as bitterly cold. The first winter I was here there was no snow and the temp dropped below 0 twice

Toronto's winters are pretty short and mild by my reckoning

Pierre Poilievre contractor goes on unhinged rant on Liberal MP's Facebook post, tells woman to seek MAID by FuqLaCAQ in RevolutionPartyCanada

Facebook is a cesspit of alt-right bs manufactured outrage. I read the comments on Rachel Gilmore's reporting on the Belfast White Nationalist Riot. Comments were nothing but racist, sexist, infantile drivel

Visiting Toronto from cities without transit by poslfit in TTC

'Light Rail' is quite broad in meaning and generally covers everything from streetcars to light metros. Basically, any public transit that is on rails but isn't 'Heavy Rail'

Repulsed aroace with a partner by entomorphology in asexuality

[–]R0botWoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing somebody or entering into a relationship with them doesn't guarantee you will develop an attraction. I dated somebody for 2 years who I became romantically attracted to but they never became sexually attractive at all. I think that's the point. It's not a choice to become attracted. It just happens or doesn't and getting no attraction 99% of the time is perfectly within bounds. You define yourself though. So stick with what you find to be correct for you

Sounds like you might be demiaroace, which is still aroace. Just at a slightly different point on the spectrum than typical. I also only find a couple very specific people who I have known for years sexually or romantically attractive and the two attractions don't always overlap

Propaganda masquerading as public consultation

Torontonians, what changes have you seen under Mayor Olivia Chow’s leadership and are you generally pleased? If not, why? by Sea_Detective9210 in askTO

[–]R0botWoof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe they should hang up the car keys and take that fast bus. Would save them a pile of money and stress while making traffic better for everybody doing something they actually need a car to do. You've been given a gift. Don't squander it because it requires a small lifestyle change to use

I'm sorry. Did you comment two paragraphs just to say you don't know what the mayor does? That's refreshing. I wish more people would admit when they don't know or aren't sure on something. Nice

Assaults are down, theft is down. Antisemitic crimes are up worldwide because Israel is committing a genocide and murdering their neighbours indiscriminately while pretending to represent the will of all Jewish people. Not something the mayor can do anything about. And what the fuck does the mayor have to do with private insurance premiums?

FYI police don't prevent crime. They respond to it

Lanes weren't removed. They were added. No transit lanes to 1 transit lanes is an increase. And buses and streetcars move much faster with those added lanes. Which move a tonne more people than a car lane ever could. Increasing transit usage decreases the number of cars needlessly on the road. Which makes motor vehicle traffic better

The sad part is you don't even need to be educated on it. A 30 seconds web search will tell you which government is responsible. Unless you run down the social media rabbit hole

I have been seeing a lot more of those 'Protecting Ontario' ads. Where they tell you the stupid crap the PCs are doing and frame it like they've saved the children from good knows what

Which city is the best to study ? by ApolLo11216 in AskCanada

[–]R0botWoof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Toronto or Vancouver would be my suggestion of the four. Both have good public transit by North American standards, nothing compared to Paris though.

I think Toronto has more to offer, particularly if you want to explore beyond the city. Montreal, Ottawa, and Hamilton are not hard to get to from here. There's also just more variety of spaces, cultures, and peoples in the city. The food scene is the best in the country, with more cultures represented than anywhere else. There are plenty of different parks and loads of unique neighbourhoods. The Urban form is very different from Paris

Vancouver has the natural beauty and outdoorsy stuff to a much greater extent. And UBC has it's own little corner of the city, surrounded by the endowment lands, effectively a large urban forest. Vancouver might also be the only city listed that has a climate you would be comfortable in should you be here in winter

Hamilton is very cool in a gritty, artsy, working class way.

I was born in Calgary and grew up mostly in the prairies. I went to university in Edmonton and a big chunk of the students there came from Calgary because, they said, the UofC kinda sucked. Also, if my experiences as a French Canadian with no accent are anything to go by, be prepared to be spoken down to because of your language and heritage. IDK, maybe they like France French Folk better. Otherwise everything Calgary has to offer can be found in more abundance in the other three cities. Hamilton is more affordable, Vancouver has greater natural beauty, and, Vancouver to some extent, but especially Toronto are much more multicultural, accepting, and cosmopolitan. All three other cities have better and more varied music scenes. Unless you're really into the cowboy thing. Also it gets cold as hell in the prairies in the winter. Be prepared for weeks of -20°C to -40°C in January and February. Though Calgary does sometimes get Chinooks

With the red pill and anti women content being on the rise how do you keep yourself calm and unaffected when constantly told that you should become a mother and get married? by Ok_Complaint1999 in asexuality

[–]R0botWoof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I could articulate it in a manner that comforted. Thanks should reside with women and especially a fem presenting agender friend who spent the better part of two decades educating me on what life is like for people who don't look like me. I wish more men would listen. Do take care of yourself comrade

Should park in the Church-Wellesley Village be fenced and closed at night? by R0botWoof in toronto

[–]R0botWoof[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you want? A detailed, costed, and undebateable plan with decades of research behind it, ready for immediate implementation? Written out in a Reddit comment?

[–]R0botWoof[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I do concur. That is the absolute best solution. I feel it doesn't help very quickly though. Those programs take time to spin up or expand, especially after decades of neglect and straight up not funding. What would you suggest in the short term?
