I really wish Toronto would follow Montreal's lead.
It seems we're so much more car-focussed than Montreal. We seem reluctant to give priority to pedestrians and public transit so as not to upset car owners.
We prioritize people who own things: cars, homes, businesses.
Well hoping Olivia can change that to an extent.
Seems? Toronto was deliberately made car dependent.

We can only hope. In my opinion, Montrรฉal is the most European like big city in North America. And Quebec's unique culture isolates it from the rest of anglo-saxon North America.
The thing is, DDO's culture isolates it from the Mile End just as much as Vancouver's culture isolates it from Red Deer's. I get the sentiment, but it's a big province, and a big country with all kinds of different ways of going about things. As a Quebecker, I don't see a situation that's different from anywhere else in Canada. Save for the language, but that's just a language. It definitely is nice to have nice things here, though. :)
