A man has died this morning. His family received a phone call. This is a direct result of the city not taking bike infrastructure seriously. (www.ctvnews.ca)

Police pick-up trucks make no sense.

well...they do but for things like pulling a police boat. not for high speed chases and whatnot, heck no.

One silver lining with the whole tariffs bs is that the American automotive industry is one of the biggest government lobbyists. That's why the majority of drunk drivers only get charged with Manslaughter instead of murder. Also why our city infrastructure remains carbrained.

Our cities are also way to sprawled out. We need to densify Alberta's cities so not needing a car is more logistical.
