Pursuing what WORKS rather than what merely SOUNDS GOOD.
Many already do. And, btw...

Meanwhile, TO sees ~215k rideshare trips per day and ~65k taxi trips per day, for a combined total of ~280k. Even if we assume all trips are done by 2-way users (charitable IMO), then that would translate to...
...(drumroll please)...
~140k users/day.
That's some rounding error... 🤣

(1/2) The size of the number is irrelevant to your argument of miscellaneous costs but, yes, I am familiar with arithmetic. Here's some more numbers for you:
204mm bus trips/yr
÷365
=559k/day
÷2 (commute legs)
= 280k/day
÷2 (avg # buses per commute leg)
= 140k riders/day
204mm bus trips/yr
÷365
=559k/day
÷2 (commute legs)
= 280k/day
÷2 (avg # buses per commute leg)
= 140k riders/day

You're right... let's keep all those folks on the bus and my commute will improve. Thanks!

Yeah, we should walk, bike, or wait for 20 minutes at the bus stop when it's minus 20 Celsius. That's a lot more practical than that CRAZY thing called "driving"...

Your feelings have let you down. Disagreeing ≠ fighting. I agree that it's fine we have different worldviews.

and high relative to the most relevant competitor peer group. Your view of Canada's global advantages are pollyanna-ish and romantic myth. In reality, our productivity & resulting living standards have stagnated for a decade. We are second-to-last in per capital GDP growth in the OECD. (3/3)

Your laundry list isn't persuasive since none of it represents a subsidy on the price of oil. We can find some common ground in that I too would like to see the ITA overhauled and simplified so that we did not offer individuals nor corporations variances...(1/3)

Makes sense. When there isn't enough work to go around for everyone, the ones willing to go the extra mile and also who differentiate themselves from simply delivering commoditized service will prevail. 👍

And before you throw the public $$$ spent on TMX at me in desperation, know that the private sector was on track to deliver that project for 1/5th the cost, until regulatory f#ckery derailed it. Feds had to step in to preserve what little was left of Canada's reputation for investment. (2/2)

Systemic, yes & also complacency by the ones that should be the catalysts for innovation. Major arch firms have grown fat & lazy on the back of 15+ yrs of a construction boom. Now the market has crashed & maybe the more noble ones will be hungry enough to do quality work again to win the business.

IME working with architects, I found them lacking in creativity. They prefer using their tried-and-true "kit of parts" & borrow from past commissions to maximize the financial return on their time invested. Architects mailing it in is a big part of the problem, whether you want to admit it or not.
