There being a public outcry isn't a good reason to reject something that's been successful in other cities. There was a public outcry when speed/red light cameras came in. There was an outcry when seatbelt laws were written.

In most of the city you can break parking rules to no consequence.

Guess what honey? I saved $1,000 today!

Musk will likely try to cleanse his reputation like many other billionaires. Billionaire philanthropy is a way to do PR, all while using those "donations" to exert political pressure, and still funnel money back into their own companies.

Paying for municipal roads via property taxes creates the giant loophole of moving outside the city, yet it causes more driving, which increases city infrastructure costs.

What's good for one business is bad for everyone else in the city.

I wonder why they haven't tried emptying them more frequently, and working with the province to make sure nobody needs to dumpster dive to eat.

I'm really disappointed in Kinew's stance here, especially after making noise about predatory use of the Notwithstanding Clause. This is just populist posturing. He's got the political power to do more to protect vulnerable people, and this kind of rhetoric isn't actually helping anymore.

We have an Emma now! There's one more person on council that isn't hostile to changes that are well supported by data.

Winnipeg's bike mayor just got a gravel bike too. :) I know there's sometimes some contention between those of us who are transportation cyclists, and the rec folks, but all bikes are beautiful.

The signs belong to the people! FREE THE SIGNS!

We already have single payer transportation in our road system, which incentivizes auto use that objectively makes our lives worse, and is the lion's share of our infrastructure deficit. Meanwhile transit is disincentivized.

It irks me to no end that we're burning money in admin & fare collection costs to make transit in Winnipeg a worse, and slower experience. It really feels like something that should be single payer.

My beef with fare collection is that it's burning money in admin costs to make transit worse. We could generate a bunch of money for the city if we started tolling all the roads too, but for some reason that's seen as unreasonable.
