    No need to swear, friend. If that city switched to walking and shared transport, most of those roads could be converted into housing or parkland instead of concrete and parking.

    Switching from one type of car to another isn't a green transition. Car production still creates enormous co2 emissions, paving everything for cars makes heat islands, tires produce piles of particulate pollution, and so on. Fixing the car pollution problem means moving to other forms of transportation, not just slightly-less-bad automobiles.

    No it doesn’t. When others see people wearing a mask now, they think your either paranoid, virtue signalling, or have an health condition and therefore hava a higher threat model.

    Really? At this point when see someone wearing a mask I assume they have a cold/flu/covid and they're being prosocial...

    Sure, we just need to convince the pentagon that the fires are some sort of communist strategy to destabilise our economy. Or maybe that the fires are burning precious oil that should be liberated.

    Thanks for this, I'll see what I can do about the timeline. Thankfully my daughter travels really well, and yeah, we have games, an dramatised audio version of the chronicles of narnia, a Switch and phones with movies. It'll definitely be a stretch but I think she'll be ok. :)

    Yeah, it's only about 80km shorter than going through Ottawa, so it's pretty close either way, but I guess we'd be less likely to hit traffic up north than in the Capital :)

    Thanks for this! We're definitely giving Toronto a miss, going down there would add a good 10 hours to the drive (we're going through Canada, not the states). We're on the fence about going through Ottawa or crossing the border up near Royn/Temiskaming which would take us way north of Sudbury. My childhood friend who lives in Ottawa just got back to me that he'll be out of town when where there, and I do know some people in Royn. But you do make a good point about enjoying the Canadian Shield while we can. We can't draw the trip out too much because the Mrs is flying with the baby and I don't want to leave her single parenting for too long. But we have left a couple days for sightseeing; Vancouver actually isn't our final destination, but I have family there so we'll stop in and spend a day with them.

    Yes, I was thinking of that, I went a couple times back in high school. It'll mostly depend on if we hit Edmonton or Calgary, but I'm sure the kiddo would love it.

    What would you prioritise on a cross-Canada roadtrip with an eight year old?

    Moving from Quebec to the west coast and driving from Quebec City to Vancouver from the 22nd to the 28th. We don't have a huge amount of time for stops, and we definitely want to hit up the Royal Tyrrell museum in Drumheller. What would you folks suggest as must-see stops along the way? Campsites, lunch stops, places we could spend fifteen minutes or an hour along the way? We'll be visiting a few friends in Winnipeg and either Calgary or Edmonton; there's only about an 80km difference between hitting Ottawa (which my daughter has never seen) vs Abitibi (which neither of us has visited). My current thought is to drive hard at the beginning to get through Ontario and the prairies, and take it a bit slower through the west since there's so much natural beauty to see. Thanks in advance for ideas!

    Have him baptised. Don't let him take the supper until that is done; one of the things it does is issue a call to join the church for the non-baptised, so... It's working.
