Precisely. And if someone can't be convinced not to spend thousands of their own money on a transportation method in order to cover less than 1% of their trips, I don't think they can be convinced at all.

I mean, I wasn't even talking about cottaging, yet you insisted on bringing it into the conversation. You seem to want coverage for specific "edge cases" but I don't think you're open to any actual things that address those.

Solutions that cover a majority of use cases are better anyways. These edge cases are minor problems that aren't relevant to the majority of transportation needs.

Going to a cottage once a year doesn't require you own a car for the whole year.

Sometimes it's both of those things.

I'm sorry, do you expect the government to build a train to every cottage? Ridiculous /s

There's a difference between "I have a cottage that I visit 2 times a year" and "I live in the middle of nowhere and can't possibly survive without a car!!" that a disproportionate number of people claim.

Over 80% of Canadians live in urban areas, yet much more than 20% seem to think they live in such a rural environment that lowering car usage is impossible.

All about that Lebensraum

Apparently all Canadians live in remote cabins several hours away from the nearest town, based on the "how can I live without a car" replies I've gotten over the years.

It's all going to be "sponsored" articles written by companies looking to advertise.

Apparently wearing headphones means it's your fault? Sucks for the hard of hearing.

Uh oh, you've awakened the crypto bros...

Some sports broadcasts literally tell you the betting odds during the broadcast now, it's kind of disgusting.
