So we agree there are candidates, we just need to negotiate on where the line is.

I'd you can't see the difference between between an invasion of privacy that's a made up scenario in your head and isn't present at other congestion pricing cities; and an existing one that already plagues cars, I give up.

If your car is less than 15 years old, it's location data (and way, way more information, like your sex life) is already being gathered and sold my the manufacturer. If your car is 15-35 years old, it's decreasingly probable. (And less data is collected).

No active congestion pricing system uses transponder, they all use cameras. Not sure why Toronto would be different?

No, flamingos did not come first.

Star wars happened a long long time ago.

I agree with MPP French on a lot of things, but not this.

If the 407 sits half empty, that means people would rather pay with their time on the 401, than their money on the 407. That's their decision.

Making the 407 also free will just make both highways size up and probably induce even more traffic.

As I said elsewhere, just ban street parking and the problem evaporates. There is no more car traffic generation or precived blocking of emergency vehicles.

The problem is cars not people.

File a permit with the city to put up Holiday decorations. Ludacris. Do I need one if I put a tree inside my house?

Downtown Kingsville to the edge of the suburbs is about 2km in the furthest directions.

So the issue is that the city has decided to not build sidewalks for super walkable distances, there are more than enough lots around.

So it's a traffic problem, not a capacity problem.

Ban on street parking, direct people to the closest lots. Problem solved.

Community mailboxes do this already.

I think you are looking at this from a total energy lense, rather than an electricity lens.

If we look at this strictly from electrical power generation: we currently have 14.6 TWH nuclear, 5.7 TWH Coal, and 11.8 TWH gas, oil, and others (2020, NR Can). So triple nuclear would be 43.8 TWH, more than enough to absorb both fossil fuel blocks (17.5 combined).

Not white people in photo.

Photo is of people white people brought here for indentured labour

Anyways, my greater point is that we've been an immigrant nation for a good while now. Little rude to pull the ladder behind us.

The deliciousness of the descendants of white colonizers complaining about new people settling on "their" land.

Strategically, I think the Liberals should be waiting until as close as possible to the election call. It stops the conservatives having time to pivot to a campaign strategy that isn't "Trudeau Bad"

Having just gone through the LaSalle Causeway "repair" drama; it might be easier to just demolish and replace the bridge. But I'm not sure how historically significant this one is.

Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it's an unvalidated guess.

Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we're just kind of expected to met kids where they're at. Maybe we're just used to it?

What is a trunk-or-treat?

Fair enough, my Canadian bias snuck in there.
