I do around town but a 30km commute to a 12hr shift is not really viable.

Aint no way am I willing or even able to bike 50km to work each way in the winter.

Reminder that ~100% of Canadian territory is not urban.

Don't like 70% of Canadians live in urban environments though? Meaning a lot of people could probably get by with a bicycle and public transit. Not everyone of course, but the "~100% of territory is not urban" line is kinda misleading when ~100% of territory is also devoid of human activity in the first place.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 4 months ago

Sure. But 70% bikes is still 30% cars (or busses, or offroad whatever).

Farmland has to be at least 10%, and then outside the high arctic there's trapping and native hunting, if only when someone passes through. There's human activity. It's not just crudely rendered videogame scenery as soon as you leave whatever city.

This just in, Toronto doesn't exist

If you haven't seen it before, that little squiggle means "approximately".
