After looking at many pictures of an emoto vs e-bike the consistent difference is "has a bike seat on an adjustable seat post". That is also the difference between something that can be reasonably peddled (bike) or not (moto). It is not perfect but would get us 90% there and easily identifiable.

Car-lite is a great way to put it. While I still have a car, designing my life so that I rarely *need* to drive has saved me a tonne. My 20 year old car paid in cash is fine because all the concerns about an old car aren't that important when your life doesn't hing on your car starting that day.

It is playing at the theater downtown. They have sold 3 tickets for all showings for the weekend.

Carney and everyone but Smith knows there is no business case to build a pipeline. There is no private investment taking on that money pit. Carney just killed any chance of a pipeline and made the cons think they won so they can't turn around and build it if they ever get back in power.

A recount in Edmonton overturned a 600 vote margin this week.

I used to think and was miserable at work. I shifted my perspective to if I generally like what I do on a day to day basis, am treated well and fairly compensated then I can just be happy doing my job without worrying about always moving up. I am way happier now, at work and in life.

This is very helpful, thanks! I never would have thought I was eligible but turns out I am.

I am well aware of that and all evidence indicates this is causation. I agree that it is a tax, but a voluntary one which also improves safety. It is pretty much a win win. The only reason to be against it is because you are a bad driver, which is an odd thing to be comfortable admitting publicly.

Alberta took away speed cameras this year and in Edmonton fatal vehicle collisions are up, likely to break a 10 year record by YE. Street racing and noise is becoming a much larger issue. Maybe they aren't the best way (traffic calming measures is the best way) but they do make a difference.

I will have no problem riding my bike in the middle of a lane in a "bike route" if that is what he prefers. I imagine those stuck behind me don't though.

You either don't understand physics or don't think that there are other people in the world. Either way, you right; no point arguing with ignorance.

Your SUV is also more dangerous to every other car on the road and their SUVs are a danger to you. If everyone drives a giant SUV no one is safer.

SUV's are safer for the people in the vehicle and decidedly less safe for everyone else.

The arms race of vehicle size in the name of "safety" creates more losers than winners.

I once had a guy from Florida tell me they didn't need FEMA because "companies like Walmart will show up to take care of people after disasters".
