As a car enthusiast, yes, please! I enjoy pleasure cruises on sunny weekends in my summer car, but let's treat it like the luxury it is: expensive, heavily taxed, and not required to get from A-B. These policies and investments would make getting around more pleasant for everyone, and make the road that much more enjoyable to use on recreational occasions. I can assure you that what I love about driving is not from being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and emitting tons of emissions using fuel whose monetary cost doesn't include externalized costs.
I won't disagree with you. I interpret the Minister's remarks as suggesting that we should make it so that at least half of Quebecoise have the option of going carless, and choose to take it. I don't think anyone is seriously advocating for a ban on cars without any investment in alternatives.
Not literally anyone. Poor people don't require cars. Funny, right? How do poor people manage without a car OR money, when everyone else apparently needs both?
If you were poor, you wouldn't have a car. Like tens of thousands of other people in Ontario, I survive on 13k a year. How many km do you think I walk (or rather bike because I'm not a total moron and I'm fortunate enough to still own one) in a year to get groceries? It's more viable than fucking starving.
