Literally a blog post written by a public transit supporter.

Wow. Nice. Congestion charges literally go towards improving transit. Also government in Canada are already spending record amounts on building transit. If you need to go into a zone that would have a congestion charge in Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver) you would have at least a park and ride option.

Seems especially obvious with the geography and transit funding shortfalls present in both Montreal and Vancouver.

It’s one of the most important documents in determining what the city will be like to live in, but I’ve found the coverage very superficial. Has anyone taken the time to read it?

Blâmer les promoteurs pour les prix élevés des logements, c'est comme blâmer les agriculteurs pour les prix élevés des denrées alimentaires. Lorsque l'on ne construit pas suffisamment de logements pour 10 ans, 500 pi carrés est luxueux. https://video.canadiancivil.com/w/4LSG3iZpRuShJqYhRLFcdG

It’s not a news story, it’s the most recent local analysis of the idea if people want to read up on it.

New York was set to become the first city in North America to introduce congestion pricing. It’s something that makes a lot of sense in Montreal, not many cities on the continent are centred on an island. Less traffic, less potholes and use the money for more transit.

I did the same thing when the pandemic was over, although I’m never really sure where to go in my neighborhood so in effect I hardly ever eat out

Sounds like just a few integration tests for the core use cases is the ticket, just like before. Real unfortunate, I would have bet that by now that there would be some startup that had made an automated user that you trained to do tests with a chrome extension or something.

This makes is sound like 10 years later nothing much has changed

Nearly a decade back I wrote a lot of browser CI tests with headless chrome as well as browser stack. I loved the idea, but they just didn’t handle things being a bit outside of perfect IRL, like taking a moment longer to load etc. They ended up having a lot of waits in them, taking a long time to write and were prone to being flakey. The tests basically lacked “common sense” and it made me think that one day someone would figure out how to make them work better.

I’m wondering if there are new frameworks, workflows, startups that have made this stuff easier and better. I’m not really in tech anymore but I wouldn’t mind writing some tests if the experience was better.

Alberta launched its own plans for urban and intercity rail last week: https://www.alberta.ca/passenger-rail GO is well into its electrification and expansion program to provide fast 15 minute all day service with credit card tap. Cities like Sydney and Melbourne have long since done this and turned their commuter rail into rapid transit. Exo… nothing. How have we ended up left in the dust?
