Just For Laughs gags meets traffic engineering.

Raised crosswalks weren't too common in most burroughs of Montréal when I left, but alternative road surfaces for slower zones we're gaining popularity.

It's pretty easy to tell where they are. They're at intersections.

Montréal never banned right on red.

No right on red was the default, then most of Canada enabled right on red in the 1970, but Québec did not. Québec later enabled right on red by default in 2003, but Montréal (island) retained no right on red.

And RToR is bad everywhere. We'veknow it for a long time, but have jsut collectivelydecoded the cost was worth it. Here's an article from Victoira in 1981 talking about it https://www.newspapers.com/clip/107821508/times-colonist-victoria-may-5-1981/

Just make a new PAL class that let's you keep this list of weapons. But also requires you to be on the supplementary reserve list.

Supplementary reserve numbers and the gun buyback issues resolved in a single pen stroke.

Removing the 57% of transportation emissions from individualized transit is more important than the <2% from public transit.

Not that we can't do both, just where priorities and performance measures should lie.

I would personally argue changing modes of transit are very much a local leader problem. Since they decide land use policies, transportation priorities, and many other things that can improve or degrade the transportation options available to people.

I'm obviously biased with my own political reality, but a city council can do more for modal share than a federal decree. And it's obviously not a zero sum game. We can replace fleets woth electric busses AND build bike lanes.

I'm not saying electrifying busses isn't good. It definitely is. Especially for local air quality. But as a priority, it's pretty low down.

Yes. But even better for the kids would be to not breath the fumes from the 20% emissions coming from passenger vehicles and the 37% from non-passenger work vehicle family passenger vehicles (credit to Rollie Williams for that term)

I think we're saying the same thing with a different strategy.

Such to say, I'd prioritize eliminating all the non-passenger work vehicle passenger family vehicles than reduce bus fuel emissions. That might mean pumping out more "dirty" busses for an overall net positive in the short term.

With transportation accounting for roughly 28 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, transit agencies...

28% of emissions are in the transportation sector, but busses are part of the 2% of the transportation sector that doesn't get it's own category. Or <0.5% overall.

emissions in 2022 were light-duty trucks, which include sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and minivans (37%); medium- and heavy-duty trucks (23%); passenger cars (20%); commercial aircraft (7%); other aircraft (2%); pipelines (4%); ships and boats (3%); and rail (2%).

Yeah, i really like the data, I just wish I could manually adjust scoring.

I have the same issue with t.io weather.

Pretty big ROI for the people actually.

1. Proxy war is better than a war on our own soil. While the straight conflict is one part; Russia is also fantastic at information operations, and those are greatly subdued here due to that federations current conflict.

2. All the donated vehicles are Canadian produced, so we get a subsidy for the vehicle industry (might of heard some issues around that regarding a trade war) and defense industry (a good strategic asset to have).

3. The Operation Unifier mission training Ukrainian soldiers also allows our soldiers to learn from Ukrainians, keeping them up to date on the latest tactics of the war.

4. With the current rumblings from another one of our neighbours, Canada has a pretty fucking huge interest in supporting a rule of law, over might makes right, international order.

I've never seen a power shrug done without a hold before. What does this target?
