Londoners overall are very supportive of it given the fact it has been in place for 22 years now without a gov’t repealing it

In Canada it's a politically successful strategy to agitate the suburbs. Even if implemented at the start of a liberal government, conservatives would be able to get rid of congestion fees in as little as 4 years.

Look at what Ontario is doing to the bike lanes in Toronto. It has been a struggle to get the bare minimum of biking infrastructure put in over the last 3 mayors of Toronto and the Provincial Conservatives have successfully campaigned suburbanites against the bikes lanes that are not even present in their own neighborhoods.

After seeing the success in New York I would love for something like that in Toronto’s downtown core; however serious and aggressive improvement of the TTC would be needed.

Right now a small power outage can cause massive delays. We need more lines, redundant systems, and a diversity of routes to let people redirect themselves when necessary.

It’s not just you. Second hand embarrassment is just as bad as first hand embarrassment for me.

It’s a wildly unpopular take, but it’s the reason I can’t watch most of Steve Carell’s stuff, including the office.

He did a pretty good job with Covid.

At the start when he was panicking and relying on the experts? Yes.

Withholding money from the healthcare system in Ontario during a pandemic is not something I will be praising him for, and contributes to the reasons why I will never vote for him.

Also https://www.cac.mil/Common-Access-Card/, if the Americans are skeptical.

I don't like the Austrian one being phone-integrated, but I understand why people would want that.

The technology has existed since the 80s.

X509 certificates would allow a government agency to sign a digital identity indicating that it's legitimate, would allow for remote revocation in the event of loss or theft, and can be easily integrated with every existing computer and browser.

An issued physical card would resemble a credit card, with a chip in it. Other physical form factors can take the shape of USB-devices which bundle the card and the reader into a single device.

We need to stop using the word 'accident'. Accident my hole, he wanted to see if he could get away with it. So far he has.

I think I'll skip the subscription to WSJ and eat breakfast instead.
