Viability is subjective. You can take public transit but you chose not to because of the extra time it takes, not because it's not possible.
Driving less doesn't mean not driving at all. If you have to drive some portion and transit the rest, that's still less driving.
If you chose to live far from work, then you've placed yourself in a difficult position so don't expect the city to conjure up a bus route just for you. Living closer to work or working closer to home are options but you'd likely find a reason to not do either.
At what point would the city add more buses? Before you decide to take more transit? That's nonsensical. Demand comes first, not supply.
I agree as well but likely not for the same reasons as Squinty McProudboy.
The carbon tax is a Conservative policy. Trudeau didn't invent it like the NEP his father created and just acted on it.
If the price of polluting our environment doesn't change your habits, then what will?
Drive less, transit more. My commute to work is nearly double when taking public transit but I still do it. Instead of flying to a warm island in the Canadian winter, I stay local.
Often I hear people bitch about inflation and not the carbon tax but that's not our PM's fault, despite Bitcoin Millhouse's assurances.
Instead of saying, "everything is broken" like a petulant child, work with the government and find solutions that work for everyone. I have zero doubt that if the CPC really cared about Canadians, the current carbon tax rollout would have been 100x better but they don't. It's a game to them because they're all rich and no tax increase or policy change could really harm them.
That said, I hope the Liberals and NDP continue to work together to help Canadians with the national dental plan which would NOT have happened under ANY CPC government, regardless of which soulless goon they can prop up.
I was forced to buy wireless headphones because phones stopped using the 3.5mm jack. I still have a pair of wired earbuds but they're useless now as I only have 3.5mm on my work laptop.
The positive is my new wireless headphones are awesome and work very well, but they're over the ear so I can't use them for snowboarding like I could with my wired earbuds. They charge ultra fast and last up to 30 hours and they come with a 3.5mm jack if the battery dies. You don't get noise cancelling when using the 3.5mm jack but at least it works.

These are stellar tips.
I would add avoid alcohol before and during the flight and noise cancelling headphones.
Also, apply for GOES or the trusted travel program. Nexus for Canadians.

I love traveling with my Nexus card. Never have to wait in line ever.
