(whining) But that would mean funding public transit well, which might mean it's not profitable!

Meanwhile we keep funding cops to the tune of 30%+ of budgets.

sigh

Roads also aren't profitable.

A bike path costs 1/10th the cost of a road, and requires 1% the maintaince over time (less SNIC)

In a city like Winnipeg where we historically have -20 to -40C temps for 6 months of the year, bike paths aren't used as much.

Remember to take into account different temperate zones when making blanket statements.

Nobody dare making a comment on the internet without taking Winnipeg into account!!

Seasonal weather patterns are different all over Canada. What works in Victoria doesn't in Edmonton.

No need to be arrogant.

Yeah my Edmonton ferry idea is how I went bankrupt the first time.

Thank you for this learning experience, before now I was not aware of weather. Continue your valuable contributions.
