I agree that there are pockets here and there. I mean, I live car free in Ottawa (not easily though). The cities you mention are definitely light years ahead of us (I’ve been to Halifax, might disagree on that one) but I feel like Canadians in general are fairly anti-city in the way we’re describing it.
Back to the topic at hand though, it’s incredibly depressing to see Sutcliffe’s “war on cars” campaign coming to fruition with the latest round of transit degradations. He’s an awful mayor in my opinion and is setting us back big time.
