How does anyone not see the complexion of the population and not see a breeding ground for racist fascists? Over 76% of Ablertans are white. In BC it's 46% whities. So go fuck all the way off, dickheads. We are inclusive, welcoming Canadians not rabid, NIMBY nazis. Deport yourselves to your true home in the despotic usa.
Yes, yes, ban all cars, cars bad, drivers bad, noxious exhaust bad, aggressive drivers bad, and so on and so on, ad infinitum. See y'all in December-March at -400C on your electric scooter that is totally non-polluting (what? is electricity totally non-polluting?) trying to navigate uncleared, dilapidated, pot-holed. roads to get anywhere.
Or better still, let's spend billions beginning with car-friendly infrastructure destruction; neglect regular road, bridge, and tunnel maintenance; and create nodes of community: 15-min walking cities. (*walking times vary by mobility, weather, and your health).
Well, villages.
Well, enclaves.
Well, compounds.
Do car-haters ever think farther than the end of their noses? Do they know what cause and effect is? Do they understand that 15-min walking cities make NIMBY communities? New mental health facility? NIMBY. New correctional facility? NIMBY. New addictions treatment center? NIMBY. Who gets them? The Untermensch who cannot afford to resist their placement.
All in the name of regressing away from cars and making tribal enclaves of like-minded, equally righteous, and (perhaps, most importantly) fiscally advantaged homogeneity.
Hating on cars is the tissue paper veneer of classism and, by extension, racism.
You really want to fight climate change? Too late: you have missed that during your fixation on one aspect (exactly as the petro-industry wanted) of the fight. Now start looking at how you're going to survive it's effects. Cause while you were raging against cars, we have passed the PNR on climate devastation.
And if your scooter doesn't have A/C, it's pretty useless in the April-November +400C period as well. Because that's what climate change is: extremes.
Canada is 9,984,670sq km with a population density of 4.5/sq km. That's ~2.2m routes to see all Canadians 5-times a week.
The UK is 244,376sq km with a population density of 286/sq km. If there was universal coverage that'd be about ~1000 delivery-person-routes per day. So delivering a route is orders of magnitude easier, faster, and simpler for the workers at the Royal Mail.
If the UK only had once a day delivery they'd be 0.045% as efficient as thier Canadian counterparts.
EVEN WITH twice daily delivery the Royal Mail has less than 1% the efficiency of CUPW workers.
With that said, both face external (couriers) and internal (government) pressure to profit.
Ask yourself this: as a service to citizens of both countries, what other public services have to make a profit? National Defence? National Healthcare? National Police?
None do because privateers have already raped and pillaged those services for maximum profit as suppliers. So they don't get lobbied the same - or even compared.
No, just Postal services with their well developed contact with the communities they serve are singled out to be profit centers for cash hungry politicians.
So the memo clearly defined this outcome as pure terrorism. Will the fed prosecute one of the most clearly defined domestic terrorists since McVeigh as such or paper over this criminality with bogus mental health bullshit?
I give bullshit a 99% chance on this one given the fake-president's penchant for pardoning violent criminals who commit crimes on his behalf and in furtherance of his aspirations.
Every accusation is an admission. Donnie is accusing Biden of EXACTLY what is going on right now: a decrepit old fart machine is the windbag mouthpiece of hitler and goebbels admirers turning the cesspool of the us in a BIGGER cesspool.
And if grandpa-senility croaks (or gets Luigi'd) nothing will change because ol'couch-fucker is a brainless twat, too.
Ride a bike, it's free - no taxes (fuel). Or drive a car and pay for the road the cyclists need. It's quite simple. Take automobiles OUT of the equation and watch municipal. provincial and federal taxes sky-rocket. Livable cities? SURE!! They'll cost you, though, so don't be like every other NIMBY-cyclist and thing it'll be some kind of free utopia.
This is the point. L'il pp gets to keep his fancier Ottawa address that Canadians fund. Cause it has the patina of fiscal prudence for his troll and troglodite cultists.
But it'd be L'il pp having fits of unthinkable pearl clutching and calling to fetch the fainting couch if any other political loser tried to freeload any amount of time in Stornoway.
And Scheer's lickspittle response is disingenuous at best, more likely calculated to garner him a bigger prize for his fealty and supposed sacrifice.
Hypocrisy and fraud are the only true goals of L'il pp's populist kleptocracy. Not fairness. Not governance. Just what's in it for me.
As for the diversionary whataboutism posted by bot accounts - thanks for showing up and revealing how your shallow your opinions really are. Lib = bad. L'il pp = good. Should vote NDP to split the left.
We get it. Divide and conquer. Just like the gop and the orange baboon's ass did in 'Murica.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Enjoy your retirement funded by Canadians while book-burning in Floriduh!!

Diahrreal verbal slop. He's (Trump) a clearly disconnected from reality crushed brain. He's disgusting as a living ad for dementia disabling capabilities. He believes his own lies.
When I want to hear opinions from six-time business bankrupter, I'll go to the social assistance office and chat up Ol' Gil. Or the memory care ward of a retirement home to hear the random word-salad of confused, frustrated, incontinent people with no mooring in the present or reality. This clown is entertainment like giving a bonobo monkey a loaded and cocked AK-47: you know people are going to die, but who; and first?
By LEFT do you infer compassion, empathy, and class solidarity?
In contrast, by RIGHT do you infer me-first, only my rights matter and only those in my clan deserve to be cared about?
