Probably unrelated to geography, but rather sub-national culture(s), provincial/territorial public health initiatives, and provincial discrepancies in health care delivery.

Also odd that OP said QC is projected to have the highest rate, when NS, NL and NU are higher. Or why BC was stated lowest when there is a BIG drop in rates for YT

I’m definitely under 105.

I’m aware of the cognitive dissidence, but I can still believe social media should be banned (or at least banned in most of it’s current forms) while still using it.

I am also reliant on a personal automobile while simultaneously believing people should not have to be reliant on personal automobiles.

The minimum age for social media should be 105…

Change my mind.

Montreal’s arrodissement system/controls also greatly benefited it’s cycling growth.

Though the suburbs that are part of la ville de Montréal are gerenally less cars brained than suburbs that are not part of la vdm. So that is probably a big factor. That said, the biggest suburbs (and the ones directly north and south of la vdm) are putting big effort into their active and public transit; so maybe not.

Thales: works on AI to optimize the loads and routes of naval supply ships; tackling the travelling salesman problem with extra variables.

Betakit: they’re definitely probably going to make killer robots.

People hate two things: change and the way things are.

Not forgotten. Intentionality burried. The individuals and unit were not recognized until a ddcade later in 2002.

That said, I can understand the the rationale behind trying to obfuscate it. Explaining why peacekeepers are killing people on the heels of the Somolia affair is a tough go.

[ Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights

So here’s the thing. The USA has been using the events of 11/09/2001 as a casus belli liberally since the event. International law has still not caught up to this decision, so they continue to work in this neat little grey area.

Is it right? Nope.

Is it bullshit that a security council member changed International Law unilaterally? Yup.

Is it legal? So far, yes.

Makes decisions less confident, less predictable

Valid opinion, I’d be interested to see if there is some data to confirm or deny it. It’s different than my experiences, but I did live and drive there, so obviously it comes with a bias.

and less safe across the board.

Incorrect. Montréal has a low collision frequency and low serious injury and fatal collision rate compared to most the country/contient.

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.
