Viability is subjective. You can take public transit but you chose not to because of the extra time it takes, not because it’s not possible.
Driving less doesn’t mean not driving at all. If you have to drive some portion and transit the rest, that’s still less driving.
If you chose to live far from work, then you’ve placed yourself in a difficult position so don’t expect the city to conjure up a bus route just for you. Living closer to work or working closer to home are options but you’d likely find a reason to not do either.
At what point would the city add more buses? Before you decide to take more transit? That’s nonsensical. Demand comes first, not supply.
I think the carbon tax is an important part of our climate strategy, but we shouldn’t let it dominate the election like PP wants it to. Keep the focus on how the parties would actually run the government, because so far the cons can’t seem to come up with an answer for that.
FYI for when you cross post from Mastodon to Lemmy, the first line of your toot becomes the title of the post that appears in people’s feeds. You shouldn’t put the @ or a link in that line because the markdown goes in raw and it looks like ass.
We disagree on this point, I think the news orgs are the good guys.
Facebook brings traffic to these sites. News does not bring traffic to Facebook. There’s only one side profiting from sites like Facebook sending them traffic and it isn’t Facebook. There’s a reason why most (I want to say all, but I can’t swear to that) countries that pulled similar moves weren’t just OK with Facebook and Google just not serving news. They know they get their traffic from social media sites now, they just also want to be paid on top of that for some reason.
