They refuse to acknowledge that a huge reason Canadians aren't coming there is because they're led by a man who gets off on throwing innocent people in Venezuela torture prisons and checking our phones at the border for subversive memes. It's almost fascinating.

The move underscores his determination to challenge social conventions - that people should not be murdered.

kids, you've got to remember that we decided to close our eyes and plug our ears and 'keep taxes low', no matter what.
yes, i know taking on more debt meant our taxes inevitably went up to service the debt without adding any real value.

Anne Hidalgo is one of the most courageous mayors in history. They sued her. Said she was attacking Parisian heritage. Said she would make traffic worse.
And yet she persisted. She seized an opportunity and delivered.

Ridership on Paris region transit systems is now generally at or higher than pre-pandemic levels. Bike use is much higher than pre-pandemic.
At the same time, car traffic in Paris and on its ring highway is substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic. www.institutparisregion.fr/mobilite-et-...
