@CraigBaird Result was road construction boom (city now has over 2000 lane-km of roads) & resulting sprawl required more fire + police stations into the periphery, permanently increasing taxes for everyone. Today car-centric Thunder Bay is losing social cohesion and taxes are high. 2/2
@CraigBaird Amalgamation marked the exact point in time when development of the "Intercity" area began. This car-centric nature of this development ultimately led to the destruction of both Fort William's and Port Arthur's historic downtowns suburbanizing the entire city 1/2
@CoopTory I think you didn't dig into this. Beginning Feb 2027, the EU is requiring restaurants and cafés to let you bring a container if you want. What precisely do you object to. All four points seem like great ideas with a material impact on waste reduction.
@MikePMoffatt I’m a big fan of @MikePMoffatt but I couldn’t disagree with this more. The idea of continuing without HSR is laughably American. Morocco has high speed rail. Connecting our two biggest cities is a no-brainer and should have happened decades ago. @RM_Transit is correct.
@RM_Transit This is a solid idea. I grew up in Thunder Bay and lobbied for bike infrastructure for several years, spearheading the Memorial Link project and managing to get solid infrastructure on Balmoral St before giving up and moving my family to Montreal. Toronto cycling could be great
Unfortunately not the same in Québec, where the government recently passed a law forbidding children from using their teacher’s first name or the informal second person singular ‘tu’, even if the teacher prefers it.
