Ottawa chatrooms:

XMPP: empty

Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ
Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

An absolutely Carbrained solution. We need more public mass transit and separate multi-use pathways. There is not enough room in any city for every person to own, drive, and park their own car.
I really hate people like you and most of the community in fuckcars.
Is the best solution to remove cars? Yes, yes it is.
But you are forgetting that bloody everyone has cars in the city that won't magically disappear. You need to transition in a way so that you won't need to suddenly remove millions of vehicles from the city and overwhelm junk yards/recycling.
Removing right turn on red will vastly increase safety RIGHT FUCKING NOW. And because it's easy to implement, we should absolutely fucking do this right now.
Making driving less convenient (in the eyes of drivers) has the added benefit of reducing traffic as drivers avoid the area. I love when a speed camera or construction happens in my area because traffic gets cut in half.
