This has a parallel. Into the 2000s, police in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan would take Indigenous folks they found outside late at night on "starlight tours," driving them beyond the city limits, and dumping them there. They'd often freeze to death trying to get home.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Toronto is at a crossroads. For too long, we’ve oriented our infrastructure around private vehicles, roads, parking lots & highways. In doing so, we’ve accepted serious trade-offs: poorer health, weaker communities, reduced safety and mobility for many. It’s time to pivot from car-centred thinking.
