Glad to see the west coast and Canada banning ICE, but 2035 is late. We should be massively pushing ebikes in cities along with public transit. Get fewer car trips ASAP, even if we can't get off ICE overnight.

Canada's plan is for the exact same amount of people to be driving, but just with lithium instead of gasoline. No change to our urban planning, transit infrastructure, or car dependency. We're screwed.

I wouldn't say that's entirely true. Vancouver, Vancouver island, and Montreal have some interesting bike infrastructure. Calgary has at least some infrastructure, too. Shifter is a canadian youtube channel that covers many of the canadian cities and discusses them in relation to other bike-centric cities around North America and Europe.

But yes, Canadian and American cities could use much more investment and a Parisian-style revision in road and plaza use, dedicating more places to bikes and foot traffic. Subsidizing ebikes will also help get people off cars.
