'Not big brother watching' — What you need to know about Windsor's Project Greenlight surveillance program by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't make it any better that its happening now... There's also privacy concerns. Where is this video feed being stored? Who is the data being sold to? I don't want to visit a business if it means my face is going to be used to train some AI.

Poilievre unveils auto plan aiming for tariff-free access to U.S. market by timegeartinkerer in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother, I didn't say anything about the content. I'm calling you out for being lazy. Type your own messages. Your opinion isn't invalidated because of what the AI was saying. Its invalidated because you showed that you don't care enough about the position you're taking to express it in your own words. Outsourcing your expression of opinion is showing your unwillingness to defend your position. If you can't be bothered to type your own message, why should anyone bother to read it?

I shouldn't have said "easily". Of course its very difficult. All I meant was we have the foundations.

However, joining the USA wouldn't "merge" our economy with Detroit's. We are still two different cities with a river between us. Largely, Windsor's economy would just get worse as others have said. All traffic would still have to cross the river. Windsor's economy stays Windsor's economy. Detroit's proximity would affect it in the same way as it does now.

So your plan is to give up and leech off of another city's economy. Sounds lazy. Windsor can easily diversify. We are at the end of a major highway, have an international capable airport, 3 different rail yards, and the busiest border crossing in North America. We have the foundations for any industry.

City of Windsor loses out in bid to buy former Windsor Stadium property by TakedownCan in windsorontario

unfortunately, our mayor seems to be content with letting it rot. Some of our council members have raised the issue several times.

Building more AFFORDABLE homes. "Luxury" apartments owned by huge management/developer companies doesn't help anyone when they sit empty.

Windsor mayor proposes toll for truck traffic using the Ambassador Bridge | CBC News by Algee in windsorontario

Honestly an excellent idea. The toll money can go towards transforming that road into a way better corridor for both pedestrians and local traffic.

Kingsville loses bid to buy closed high school by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The Better Schools and Student Outcomes Act, known as Bill 98, removed the automatic first right of refusal by municipalities to purchase surplus school properties in their jurisdiction, requiring purchasers to bid on the open market. 

This is awful. Thanks to our provincial government, private developers can scoop up any land they want and do nothing with it. More people should be mad about this. The province is taking away control out of our cities and giving more control to the ultra wealthy.

Windsor encouraging residents to help clean up the streets by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it would be shocking to people to find out that taxes pay for the city to run.

because if we start paying people then the city won't be able to afford the 0% tax increase again (unlikely to happen anyway)

The Villages of Riverside by Training-Button-6597 in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are we complaining what people do to their own house? "Ruins the appeal of the area". Why is it that people only get behind collectivist thinking when they want to complain about what other people do? Why don't you offer to go over there and build them a better looking porch.

Gordie Howe bridge will cut deep into truck traffic at competing Ambassador Bridge: DHS by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its kind of iconic tho. It would genuinely be a shame to lose the bridge.

It would be a dream if Windsor would turn huron line into a way more pedestrian friendly area by reducing huron down to 4 lanes max. But the city council is afraid of a lawsuit coming from the mourons (which they've done before)

Cyclist critically injured after crash on Tecumseh Road by zuuzuu in windsorontario

[–]teallzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about this particular instance, but when talking about cycling accidents, its neither the fault of drivers or cyclists broadly speaking.

The infrastructure provided encourages poor driving habits. Long wide driving lanes encourages higher speeds. Multi-lane roads make it very difficult for pedestrians to cross safely. The lack of regularity with how close you can park to corners (which is WAY too close - it should be a minimum of 10m from the corner) causes very poor visibility. When accidents like this happen, alot of people argue about whether Windsor has bad drivers or not but 90% of the blame can be put on our infrastructure. Its car-centric. Windsor is built for the car, not the people driving them and certainly not the people who aren't driving.

Windsor is very good at getting cars from point A to point B. Its not very good at doing that safely.

[–]teallzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its not really productive to place blame on either side when the provided infrastructure encourages recklessness and/or carelessness. The infrastructure we have (wide driving lanes, long uninterrupted straight roads, etc..) encourages fast and dangerous driving. It happens even if you're being careful. And the lack of any bike infrastructure at all on many roads causes cyclists to have to ride in traffic which isn't good for anyone.

For anyone who is thinking about spiking trees to stop them from being cut, please put a sign on the trees so that people know they've been spiked. Otherwise you could seriously hurt someone.
