If he had any decency or moral, Trump should have stepped down himself.

Also, kindly remind everyone with a vagina and everyone who cares about someone with one: This year's presidential election is about abortion access. Roe vs Wade was repealed by extremist MAGA judges appointed by Trump.

100 percent true. Any item created by a company should be collected back by that company for full disassemblely and recycled fully.

This should be true for any thing, such as tvs, microwaves, fridges, couches, beds, plastic bottles, fast food packagings. Companies should accept the item back at pickup points easily accessible, and take back any item no matter how old. Think of beer bottle collections at your local beer store.

We as tax payers should really stop allowing corporations to use public funded landfills and garbage collection for "free". These costs should really be part of the products created internalised by corporations.

Most phones has gone this way as a marketing ploy for waterproofing or water resistance. When was the last time you dropped you're phone I'm the toilet or urinal?

I do have a feeling its more of a cash grab in having to purchase a new phone once your battery kicks the bucket.

Just ban blowers outright, makes no sense when leafs get blown from one property to another, and then back again.

Yup its the only suburban neighbourhood in north America that is completly car free.

Trouble is zoning laws in Ontario and anywhere else in north America prevent cities from building more neighbourhoods like this.

Examples include things like minimum parking requirements, minimum setback, fire codes and even policing all play a part in shaping this. If you ever look at new suburban developments, think how hard its to get a convenience store or small supermarket build right inside the suburb.

Its a shame because we really should not be building suburbs with the same two or three single family homes repeated over and over, its really inefficient. We should start having townhomes, fourplexes, small 4-5 level mixed use condos, subways and trams with busways incorporated. Existing suburban layouts should also start adding missing middle housing inside whereever possible by changing zoning.

"Pedestrian streets" are not really "new", it's just something that we as North Americans have forgotten about.

We see large Walmart parking lots as normal and 6 lane "strodes" as nothing weird in cities and suburbs.

Yup with inflation the $60 would be somewhere between $80-85 dollars equivalent in buying power.

So its technically cheaper. $60 today is $40-45, 14 years ago.

All we know is that the Eglinton LRT will not open for another three months, every day that Metrolinx does not give a defined opening date.

Police said emergency crews were called to the intersection of Frederick Street and King Street East shortly after 9:30 a.m. on June 1 after receiving reports of a crash involving a streetcar.

While it remains unclear what caused the collision, police say the driver of the vehicle involved was taken to hospital with serious injuries, while two people on the streetcar were also injured.

In an update, police said a 62-year-old man was charged with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act.

Months after cancelling the construction contract for a new downtown pedestrian bridge in the face of “unforeseen challenges,” city officials have called off the project altogether.

As stated in a post on the city’s website on Friday, plans to build a bridge over the Speed River connecting The Ward with Downtown Guelph have been scrapped. Instead, city officials will look for ways to include pedestrian flow into another nearby project over the river.

Campaigners have called for “mini Holland” walking and cycling schemes to be introduced in towns across Britain after the first London pilot scheme produced dramatic results.

London’s pioneering “mini Holland” low traffic neighbourhood is “synonymous with the changes that need to happen around the world”, according to the capital’s walking and cycling commissioner.

Yet more hate towards cycling, and somehow if a floating bus stop is located between two care lanes its perfectly acceptable.

“What is up with some people’s complete disrespect for our public spaces? It doesn’t require a huge amount of effort and discipline to keep our streets, sidewalks, parks and shorelines clean. Yet some of us appear incapable.”

TTC is a joke (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Why does the TTC suck so much in customer service, and what's with the constant delays every single day.

Sometimes going into the office (when I'm stuck between station for 30 minutes in a non-moving train), I wonder how much better it was during covid with a full WFH mandated.

The TTC main complaint those last few years were no one is riding, but now they have ridership and they can't keep up with demand.
