My guy, you're living in a country where most cities have fewer than 200k people living in them. Ffs, Charlottetown doesn't have bad traffic, lol, takes about ten minutes to drive across the whole damn city. I think too many of you people think that the two cities you live are the entire country. Had another dicknuts on this post talking about how poor people are immoral for not owning cargo bikes because they're feasible in his specific neighbourhood in Vancouver.
Yes, infrastructure must improve for this country to have any future where we can meet the needs of our people, that does not mean that every consideration should be made only with Toronto in mind; that doesn't even happen in Toronto, as you've pointed out. Or did you forget why those highways are where they are?
