In all seriousness these are the stories that have actually been reported, which means there are probably a lot more that have not been reported. Hope people start to rise up.
Yup, people in Ontario voted for Ford because they did not want to support Trudeau. Most did not even realize the difference between a provincial and federal government.
Seems similar to what's going on in Alberta as well TBH.
Though at least IMO, I do think the liberals at this moment in Ontario don't have a "strong" candidate to lead the provincial party. But that does not mean you local riding candidate/representative has no experience.
This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.
Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.
Amazon had already listed import and duty fee way before this. These fees are just now a lot larger and more "visible".
Tarrifs = Tax
The tax is paid by local business and then passed onto consumers in higher cost of goods.
FYI, generally when you buy items on Amazon and the goods are not locally stocked in Amazon's warehouse for same day delivery, Amazon acts like a broker for you helping facilitate the import of goods. The import fee is then passed onto you as the "importer" directly. Things that Amazon stocks locally but imported themselves will just increase in price and a label may not show the import fee paid for by amazon at the time they imported the product or item.
They did talk a little about zoning amd density. Though without a way for people or goods to get around there is no economy.
Street car suburbs is a coined term that is basically at its heart a transit oriented community. Though street car suburbs require the expressed knowledge that density is needed.
The video simply shows that these types of communities already exist and a perfect example is that Toronto already has them.
Though many people, even the ones that live in these areas are not even aware of the distinction, but that might not necessarily be a bad thing? To them it feels like any other suburb, but has three times the density of what's legally allowed to be built with current zoning laws.
I agree with you, we need to add density to our existing suburbs not continue the sprawl.
The video I linked to shows how this is possible, and how Toronto street car suburbs already have the same comparable density to Europe cities like Amsterdam. Or three times the density of what's built now.
Transforming a typical single family home "american suburb" into a street car suburb will be challenging for sure.
The first step is having people realize there is more then two types of locations to live. It's not just a choice between "the city" and "the suburbs" or a single family home and a condo.
There are plenty of different other styles of communities. Toronto even has a fully car free residential neighborhood (the only one in North America) located on center island. Completely pedestrian oriented.
I figured reddit may have been translating some of its pages automatically. I have seen some posts with the exact same comments fully translated between English German and French.
Streetcar Suburbs is what we need! Rezoning and density. Great Not Just Bikes video showing how current legislation in Canada prevents new suburbs being built like the used to be in Canada 60-70 years ago.
Judges are a vital service.
Ford having an issue with a judge that is overseeing a case that was brought forward by the people of Ontario is Ford having an issue with the people.
The Judge is doing a bipartisan job to judge the facts presented by both parties in a equal and fair manner.
