I have never understood that.
  • That's a very southern idea of "cold" though.

    It's still autumn on the Canadian east coast, and temperatures are now staying below the freezing point. Still seeing the occasional shorts wearer, now with boots on.

    What do you use Best Buy/ Big Box Electromics Store for?
  • Sure shipping is fast nowadays, but if I take a bit of my own time, I can walk back from a store with the item already in hand, and I'm certain of what is in the box.

    Bonus: I didn't have to weed through alphabet soup spam brands to find what I wanted.

    Should Ontario cyclists be allowed to cross on walk signals? Advocates speak out amid fines
  • I'll add a minor point: with the rising bicycle use in Québec we're seeing a new issue pop up, where a good few cyclists mistakenly treat walk signs as green lights, endangering pedestrians (and other cyclists) with the speed at which they enter the crossing, or wrongly expecting pedestrians to yield to a bicycle instead of the other way around.

    Toronto need to make sure the TPS is trained in up to date cyclist & pedestrian safety for this to work. In the last two years I've had the pleasure of seeing SPVQ officers reminding cyclists to yield to pedestrians when they signal crossings, and it makes a noticeable difference over time.
