I would also love to see more cities take on sidewalk clearing in Ontario. While writing this piece I watched a woman with a walker going along the middle lane of the road because the sidewalks are impassable. It's very frustrating.

I share your concern on the ferry front.

I'm curious though what makes the BC Transit to BC Ferries relationship especially important? Wouldn't it just be a case of BC Transit increasing frequency to match additional ferry departures? Is there something more complicated going on?

I like that you checked!

I think this probably plays some role. Might also be that residents are more supportive of speed cameras than voters and especially moreso than those who vote in local elections.

Ontario's grid is pretty clean. It would be more meaningful if you lived in Alberta. Still helpful though and like you said, pretty smart choice except for the rare load where you're worried about pests.

Would like to see numbers for this. I've always thought that setting your washing machine to cold is pretty good bang for your buck considering it's zero effort. But it does depend on where your energy comes from.

Any thoughts on whether this will create conflicts with Denmark's progress on farmed animal welfare (e.g. more incentive to increase stocking rates etc.)? agricultureandfood.dk/danish-agric...
