    I genuinely thought this was a joke, fake or satire.

    My European mind can’t comprehend.

      We do have drive-through restaurants and even some drive-in supermarkets in the center of cities. I just missed my train yesterday because the bus got stuck in traffic. I really hate how car-brained my country is (honorable mentions to exceptions: Hradec Králové, Pardubice and the other few towns in the Elbe lowland that have embraced bike infrastructure to about the standards of an average German town)

        Bike infrastructure in a town? My province just made it illegal for any municipality nearly anywhere to build a bike lane.

            Ontario, Canada. The premier (similar to a governor) is over stepping cities, their elected officials, and betraying the people of Ontario. Years ago he ran for mayor of Toronto, Ontarios biggest city, they never elected him and now that he has provincial power he is throwing a temper tantrum. He also cut their city council in half for no justifiable reason. Toronto made significant progress and nearly had a functional bike network, now he is forcing the city to remove newly installed infrastructure.

            But people still think his conservative government is “good with money.”
