So I just watched a PR person for the Red Black owners who looks a lot like the Mayor.

I find this more informative:

I had to check if this was a parody account of our Mayor; staunchly defending the rights of my car.

Real deal. Welcome to BlueSky!

I will always proceed though a worksite vs risking my life with drivers on a multi-lane road like Preston.

We need a shift in #Ottawa where residents(esp children) are given the same rights as construction workers around car traffic.

91% Agree. My point of contention is accepting that Transit will continue to be unreliable. This can be the pain that pressures city leadership to reverse transit cuts, make it a desirable and equitable choice. Or inflict more pain. City’s call.

I fully support naming this monument of sorts after the Mayor. Present or past will do.

Bad news: the Mayors budget direction will lead to a lot less of this.

Choose your adventure wisely in 2026.

Or rather, fines based on value of car. Easily implemented. Basic car = basic fine. Trophy car = big fine.

Imperfect as sometimes high income drive old Camrys, the over-leveraged drive vanity vehicles. But I suspect the former are not doing 50 over.

My point is the externalities, the cost that our choices impose on society. For driving its pollution, infra demand, road widenings, subsidized parking etc. If priced fairly far greater than the $1/km generally accepted.

Hence an unpopular take and an obstacle to making transit an equitable choice.

Integrated Speed Adaptation on all new cars, helping drivers adhere to speed limits.

There is no good reason to speed. Especially in urban environments.

Side effects include: change in driver behaviour; reduction in pedestrian injuries and fatalities; reduction in energy consumption and emissions.
