That war spurred the development of the trent severn waterway to provide a safer, more in land route to move supplies and men in the case of another war with the US. The waterway was nearly outdated for modern ships by the time it was completed but that doesn't change the strategic background of the development.

All a ruse to justify hiking prices

That could be part of your research process, by moving to city that is more walkable, pro-transit etc. Which i do know is easier said that done and often is more expensive.

We do need collective action to make it better but the affordability crisis is incredibly complex and must be tackled from several factors ranging from car dependancy, city zoning, rent control policies, and several other factors. Most of what i mentioned is on the type and supply side, we also need to consider wage growth and job positions available. It becomes a complex mess with no 1 factor to blame.

One of the most effective things you can do is vote locally for politicians that want beneficial change like density and transit, and not vote for the ones that do things like "even though this road is zoned for multi units and mid rises, im gonna fight every development that isn't a SFH because it ruins the "character" of the neighborhood."

Counter to your point, i did leave my home city that was too expensive for me to live in. I did nearly become homeless before landing a job but once i landed a job i was able to afford a small house in a few years, a nearly impossible goal for me in my home town.

I did have the benefit of my work skills are fairly universal and I could find some kind of employment nearly anywhere. If its an attainable goal to move, even if risky id say more often than not its worthwhile. It would be wise to do extensive research into average living costs and employment opportunities before moving.

America can only be great if all the poor people leave, duh.

On average it isn't any cheaper to live in Canada, Canada does offer more social services at least.

A lot of my conservative friends have similar talking points "i don't like ford but..." it usually boils down to racism and feeling superior.

What i don't get is several of these supporters rely heavily on healthcare, mental healthcare, OSAP, & disability pay, all things most conservative MPs fight to defund.

A lot of them literally would rather suffer under ford so long as they can fool themselves they are in the "in group" and not the "out group". Its brown people taking advantage of the services that are the mooches, not me! Its the immigrants fault i don't have a job etc etc

All worth it to own the libs and end wokeness if you ask their base.

We can't just update the roads for free. The cameras were a big part of the plan to make the roads safer.

 

The group Greater Sudbury Safer Sidewalks says surveys it has conducted during the past two years of a pilot project exploring enhanced winter sidewalk maintenance clearly show the public wants the project to become permanent

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
