They were resolved before the bank accounts were frozen . Peaceful protest really bugs you doesn‘t it ? But go on , head over to Moscow and freeze Putin’s bank account , good luck .
Well that lasted a long time , now that Covid is past they are opening up the hospitals and need the manpower . I doubt that will do much for backlogs though . Still be a year to see a specialist .
I am neither against progress or electric vehicles , but at this time where I live they are not ready for prime time . Most every owner of an EV that I know also has a ICE for use other than commuting .
Look to California and rolling blackouts , or Texas where the power grid crashed in the winter storm , we will need much more electrical generation to power our vehicles as more and more are being used . How long did it take to get Site C off the drawing board through the regulatory hoops and...
Yes EV’s are growing more popular and make perfect sense for a commuter , and the infrastructure surrounding them will improve as will the technology behind them , as that occurs more and more will be sold . Expecting that to happen overnight is wishful thinking at best .
Of course it is the norm , I need my vehicle for work and it does not always happen on bus routes .
But yes if one works and lives in the city core they can and do easily survive without a car , but that only works in certain areas .
How about grocery shopping for an average family of four ...
We don’t like riding transit and car pooling for the most part . The convenience of the private automobile is what makes them so desirable .
How does one commute from South Burnaby to work in Gloucester when there is no bus service to that areas light manufacturing center ? When I was a boy...
At present we have gas stations on practically every corner , it takes approximately 5 minutes to fuel a vehicle with 600 or so kilometres of range . How long does it take to charge a vehicle to allow 600 kilometres range ? How many charging stations will be needed and where will they be located...
We do not have the infrastructure to support wholesale use of EV’s at present , nor do we have the electrical capacity . Shall we bring more nuclear reactors online ?
We require energy to survive in the frozen north . Until such time that we have alternative energy sources we will need carbon based power . Solar and wind are not efficient to power our countries needs .
We have roadside testing that allows officers to automatically suspend and impound vehicles if breath test fails . No criminal charges are laid . If one is well over the limit they can be taken in for more formal breathalyzer and crimally charged .
I would suggest that Americans would happily return to the Trump days . I would also suggest the trucker convoy crossed party lines . But to your point of taking the party left , does nothing for those away from vote rich urban settings , and tend to be aimed at disillusioned liberals . If the...
How come we can be completely at odds with each other’s positions yet still have a civil conversation ? Aren’t we supposed to be calling each other assholes and ignorant?
Keep up the good work , you are an interesting poster .
