What an odd site. Is line 3 open or under construction? Crucial information seems to have been randomly deleted.

What a horrible looking car sewer. Is there no regional electric passenger rail network around Ottawa?

So what is BC proposing besides more LNG? Why haven't we heard a peep about the badly needed regional electric railway expansion as proposed by leading economists and BC's biggest union? Why continue to ignore climate infrastructure?

One from the archives. Back in January BBC News apologised for the error of calling Israeli hostages 'prisoners'.

But they never apologise for calling the thousands of Palestinian hostages 'prisoners', do they? Of course they don't because that's not an error, its deliberate.

Cycling futures start with.... robust urban and regional passenger rail networks! Seriously. People need to get around beyond the range of a bicycle and aren't going to abandon their cars unless they can do that conveniently, efficiently, safely and affordably.

It's just a super boring question, especially at parties. If someone wants to tell you, they will.

Been like that for decades. What would help? CBC badly needs to decentralise away from Toronto and embed itself into smaller communities.

Less than 200km of the 10,000s of railways in Canada are electrified - yet that’s not even worth a mention? Hard to take the institute seriously if it skips infrastructure that vital and obvious.

In terms of sheer impact of eyeballs and ears reached, the former is far greater than the latter.

How about Paris-style safe school street programme for BC? Wank panzer drivers are a daily threat to our children. Also - ban right-on-red already.

Paris streets prioritize pedestrians, kids, and micromobility — Open Plans

Fascists aren't exactly known for allowing fair elections, or losing them. Not sure what's covered in US political history education but that sure should have been.

That's a real shame. So.. what's for lunch.

We need regional electric passenger rail. Could you build that please? Listen to the experts. Listen to the unions. A rapidly ageing population of boomers and some of the worst forced car dependency on earth requires immediate action.

The willful, ignorant denial of the US press continues to astound. "Weis is in over her head and will fail to meet journalistic standards..."
Nope! She's a ethno supremacist bomb sent by pro-genocide fascist zionists to destroy CBS News. How do they still not grasp the obvious?

Meanwhile the rest of planet earth assumed the NYT esprit de corps was based on being racist, ethno-supremacist pro-genocide zionists. Opps. Our bad. Tee-hee. Any hoo, sorry that other racist zionist grifted too close to the sun or whatever.

Only if by "fails" you mean succeeds in what she was hired to do: Destroy CBS News in the name of ethno supremacy.

This is like sending a memo to a demolitions expert that they're doomed if the building collapses. Err.. no. That's their job. Destroying CBS News is explicitly what Weis was hired to do.

Sure. But Bari isn’t really a writer. She’s one of the hardest working, astute, disciplined grifters of her generation.
