@callumxoxox Trudeau +30 after this

@BCGovNews We should probably start building our roads in BC more for safety and less for speed and invest more into viable alternatives for driving for those who don’t want to or are not able to. Especially in rural areas.

@SyntheticusAlt What website is this? Love the data presentation

@CDNsForTrump @_ChanFace 18941 sq km for greater Paris actually

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@CDNsForTrump @_ChanFace Absolutely right now, but it is not the most economically efficient as a taxpayer and is only made so by gigantic government investment into highways. It’s a travel time entirely based on govt welfare.

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@CDNsForTrump @_ChanFace Also greater Paris is double the size of the GTA.

@CDNsForTrump @_ChanFace How was Canada built and why are most of our cities especially out west in the locations they are.

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@CDNsForTrump @_ChanFace you can do both with proper signalling and well maintained track quite easily. Also helps with delivering goods on time, getting trucks off the roads. Only problem is capital investment hurts the operating ratio for railroads. Which is a stupid metric of efficiency

@_ChanFace @CDNsForTrump At the end of its career it had a 97% in service rate of which wasn’t too far behind anything else in VIAs fleet, although they did have a ton of initial teething problems in the early 70s. And thank god for the HSR plans cause you are so right about demand on that corridor.

@rhamilt @_ChanFace 68-82. The gas turbine engines were super fuel inefficient and didn’t make sense economically when they were retired so they were replaced with bombardier LRC 2/3 trainsets. I wish for a world where the CN corridor was electrified and trains kept running at the turbotrain speeds.

@Anothergreen @BobFromAccounts @81martin63 @PaoloIskandar64 I said Americans here out of reflex but this can apply to any nation across the Anglosphere

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@Anothergreen @BobFromAccounts @81martin63 @PaoloIskandar64 Thats a big issue tho, EVs just allow Americans to continue car-centric infrastructure and planning. Both of which are absolutely horrendous on numerous fronts. It also sucks up funding and political will for legitimate solutions.

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@BobFromAccounts @Anothergreen @81martin63 @PaoloIskandar64 Very true, I was a bit too heavy with the word "hurt". EVs really are terrible for the environment compared to bikes/mass transit/walking.

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@Anothergreen @81martin63 @BobFromAccounts @PaoloIskandar64 While it is true they will hurt oil companies, EVs are the car companies and vehicle insurance companies way of staying relevant with a very harmful product, not stopping climate change.

@OhUrbanity Side note but is it the busiest bike corridor in Canada? The only competition I could think of would be burrard street bridge in Vancouver, which was the top back in 2019, but it may have changed.

@SyntheticusAlt Do you remember when her govt put a toxic soil dump in shawnigan lmao, she’s horrible and might bring the whole LPC down with her.

[science rock is for reactionaries @SReactionaries]

@mt_pheasant @VancouverThorn Take it away from highway expansions that do nothing. For the highway 1 expansion cost alone we could do so much in forms of transit. Also infrastructure pays for itself in increased economic activity and real estate. PT is also more cost+environmentally effective than highways.
