The best election outcome is NDP minority and more Greens to hold them accountable to their best promises.

“the committee received considerable input regarding the workload required for organizations, especially charities and non-profits, to register and report lobbying activities.” charities and non-profits will not benefit from relaxed rules for corporate lobbyists 🤔 .. the opposite?:

What I mean… frequency can grow as demand does..

More frequent official crossing areas where people tend to cross is better..
A few things that cities and safety standards (like those promoted by Vision Zero) emphasize:

* Predictability beats spontaneity. When crossings are clearly marked or controlled, drivers expect to stop and scan both lanes. Mid-block, unmarked crossings on multi-lane roads are where this specific risk spikes.
* Visibility is everything. Curb extensions, median refuges, and daylighting (keeping parked cars back from crossings) make pedestrians visible to both lanes at once instead of being “revealed” lane by lane.
* Speed matters more than blame. At lower speeds, drivers have more time to react and stopping distances shrink dramatically. That’s why many cities push 30 km/h (or lower) on streets with frequent crossings.
* Two-stage crossings help. A median refuge lets someone cross one direction at a time, eliminating the need to judge gaps across multiple lanes simultaneously.

So you’re right about the danger of a single car stopping unexpectedly on a multi-lane road. The solution isn’t to rely on perfect behavior from either pedestrians or drivers, but to design the environment so that situation rarely occurs in the first place.

We need proportional representation as was promised in 2015. That’s healthy democracy. Big tent you no longer understand what they stand for. The government should be a big tent of smaller parties.

How many greens did they find in the ~1500 people polled… there is provincial and federal support for rail.

We are not alone. We can’t even share this planet with the only known sentient life in the universe. We breed in order to slaughter the blue. while driving the green to extinction ~ the non-human engineers that keep the life support systems of this spaceship earth functioning.

Guideline doesn’t have the same meaning as regulations, by-laws, requirements.. “Should” and “must” mean different things. Skimming through I’m just not seeing the kind of language I would expect—what am I missing? www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

If the universities and city councils around the world can commit to being fully plant-based, surely a conference on climate change, @COP28_UAE, can too! Let #COP27 be the last COP serving animal products and #MakeCOP28Vegan: ctt.ec/z52le+
