I agree, but unfortunately that's basically never going to happen. At least not in our lifetimes.
One of Canada's greatest flaws is that we followed the US into car-dependent, suburban-sprawl at the catastrophic expense of everything else. We have spent decade upon decade investing unfathomable amounts of money into building the most dysfunctional cities imaginable and ensuring there is no practical way of getting in or out of them except a car.
Nebula has certainly improved but I still think they need to put more effort into getting new creators that aren't political or news. I just did a skim through their uploads lists for various topics and news and/or political (or political ish) content is still the most active. Topics like technology and gaming see far less uploads.
I'm not in Vancouver itself, but a major road near me had its speed limit dropped to accommodate mixed-use expansions. Not a single driver actually does the new speed limit. They all speed 20-30kph over the limit and they will tailgate you or highbeam flash if you do the posted limit.
Maybe some day in the distant future our policy-makers will understand that updating a few signs doesn't make a damn difference. You need physical speed reduction methods such as speedbumps, roundabouts, raised crosswalks, etc.
That fine is so small that it's not even a slap on the wrist. It's not even a rounding error. It's like a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean. It probably cost more in worker time just to issue the fine.
Tesla's self-driving is pretty shite but they seem to have a particular problem with railway crossings, as also pointed out in the article. Of all of the obstacles for the self-driving system to fail to detect, the several thousand tons of moving steel is probably one of the worst outcomes.
To secure "relief" ie: To return to the previous trade agreement that Trump himself signed off on.
To desire nothing but a return what-once-was is incredibly shortsighted. This isn't about getting relief from tariffs is that those tariffs should never have happened in the first place. The US violated our trade agreement and, to this day, still changes its mind on what it wants almost daily. They have also made continuous threats towards our sovereignty with threats of invasion and war as well as flagrant disrespect towards our elected leader(s) and citizens.
The Canada-US relationship is over. It's done. Trying to make more deals with them is a foolish waste of time at best and a threat to our national security at worst.
When you're new to driving and not totally comfortable with it yet - most of your brainpower will be focused on controlling and handling the vehicle and taking your attention away from that to check signage is terrifying.
This goes away with practice and experience. Eventually controlling the car will become muscle memory and you can devote your brainpower to broader observation of your surroundings and signage. Start with calm back roads, quiet residential streets, and gentle intersections. Preferably an area with a mix of things like stop signs, uncontrolled intersections, hill stops, school/play zones, crosswalks, and so on.
It can be kinda fun too as you can explore neighbourhoods you've never been to before.
