We’ll see soon enough if he signed up enough new Liberal party members before the deadline today to overcome Bonnie Crombie’s lead. I suspect not, which is a shame, he seemed like the most promising OLP leadership contenter. In that case, I doubt progressives will choose the OLP next election, and will see more promise in the ONDP.

He did an AMA on Reddit 2 days ago, and discussed proportional voting among other things.

If the sorry state of city finances and infrastructure are a problem and priority, then building and maintaining pedestrian, bike, and rail infrastructure are potential solutions.

Take a look at this study detailing the cost benefit analysis of bike infrastructure in Portland, Oregon. Millions of dollars can be saved. https://www.zora.uzh.ch/id/eprint/43289/8/Gotschi1.pdf

Another study concluded that “creating or improving active travel facilities generally has positive or non-significant economic impacts on retail and food service businesses abutting or within a short distance of the facilities”. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/01441647.2021.1912849

“Building a new roadway for automobiles can cost tens of millions of dollars to construct, and many of the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects and facilities are extremely low-cost in comparison. This infrastructure can also serve to improve safety for all road users, while also promoting healthier lifestyles through more bicycling and walking.” https://www.pedbikeinfo.org/cms/downloads/Countermeasure%20Costs_Report_Nov20131.pdf

That assumption is not a good one. The video highlights that both competing proposals, which include Siemen's conventional "high frequency" option and Alstrom's high speed rail option, are set to build new track through the Canadian shield in the area around Peterborough which would slow down speeds significantly. There's too much geography navigate around on this proposed route for HSR. Instead the video hosts suggest using the existing freight lines beside Lake Ontario and extending GO service to Peterborough which has much more potential for HSR.

Great for sidewalks, bike paths, and trains, but terrible for cars.

Yes, it’s already a thing but many apps don’t show it. Try the voyager PWA to see yours.

The Rust community has usually favoured more permissive licenses for some reason

Some communities just aren’t here yet, but it’s nice to see that Lemmy is growing fast

Try Sink It for Reddit, it’s a Safari extension that removes those nuisances
