I was interested in finding out why Ford signed such a good contract with Canadian autoworkers. What I found wasn't what I expected. But I do think it we can have something like a win-win if the country brings in Chinese EVs. Look at the numbers in my article and tell me what you think---.

"everything that is not my world view is wrong" - see if fixed that for you, you did not need to be so verbose.

Not sure why you picked a beef with cargo bikes with everything else. Every day I see those, carrying kids, groceries... I was impressed with this dude on home depot... but I digress. You might not know Canada as you pretend to.

I never said anything negative about cargo bikes besides that they're not practical in the majority of cities in this car-dependent country.

I know Canada better than the vast majority of Canadians, I assure you; even if just because so many of them refuse to be critical about their way of life. Where are you that you're seeing these regularly? I know for certain I've seen more cybertrucks than cargo bikes (one) in the past few years living in three cities in Southern Ontario; never saw them out east. I've been all over this country, and I can name maybe five cities where -- given you can afford rent in the more densely populated, typically higher-income neighborhoods -- you could make this work given you also have much more time in a day than many workers are afforded.
