    This meme is so accurate. It should be sent to the thrash radio hosts of Quebec City. These people are so idiot, they are fighting against a tramway, a 1 billion dollar project, that the entire country agreed to pay for.

    Follow the money. One makes the owning class unfathomably rich as it ties every living human to their transportation manufacturing. The other is so easy to repair you might need to just spend a few bucks on parts. Capitalists hate freedom.

    Cars has being a big industry in western countries for years. The decline of the automotive might be the good chance to get rid of them.

      It doesn’t feel very free when I’m required to own and operate one as the only practical means to get to and from my job due to a lack of public transportation.

    That’s real freedom! Freedom to sit in traffic! My property tax is 1/50th of the amount required to repair the street to my house! The nearest grocery store is 4 miles away!

    Some asshole is definitely going to ram one of those bicycle wheels.

    We need rain protected parking with barriers to protect the bikes from cars. Or just ban the cars from the road.
