Probably unrelated to geography, but rather sub-national culture(s), provincial/territorial public health initiatives, and provincial discrepancies in health care delivery.

Also odd that OP said QC is projected to have the highest rate, when NS, NL and NU are higher. Or why BC was stated lowest when there is a BIG drop in rates for YT

I'm definitely under 105.

I'm aware of the cognitive dissidence, but I can still believe social media should be banned (or at least banned in most of it's current forms) while still using it.

I am also reliant on a personal automobile while simultaneously believing people should not have to be reliant on personal automobiles.

The minimum age for social media should be 105..

Change my mind.

Montreal's arrodissement system/controls also greatly benefited it's cycling growth.

Though the suburbs that are part of la ville de Montréal are gerenally less cars brained than suburbs that are not part of la vdm. So that is probably a big factor. That said, the biggest suburbs (and the ones directly north and south of la vdm) are putting big effort into their active and public transit; so maybe not.

Thales: works on AI to optimize the loads and routes of naval supply ships; tackling the travelling salesman problem with extra variables.

Betakit: they're definitely probably going to make killer robots.

People hate two things: change and the way things are.

Not forgotten. Intentionality burried. The individuals and unit were not recognized until a ddcade later in 2002.

That said, I can understand the the rationale behind trying to obfuscate it. Explaining why peacekeepers are killing people on the heels of the Somolia affair is a tough go.

[ Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights

So here's the thing. The USA has been using the events of 11/09/2001 as a casus belli liberally since the event. International law has still not caught up to this decision, so they continue to work in this neat little grey area.

Is it right? Nope.

Is it bullshit that a security council member changed International Law unilaterally? Yup.

Is it legal? So far, yes.

Makes decisions less confident, less predictable

Valid opinion, I'd be interested to see if there is some data to confirm or deny it. It's different than my experiences, but I did live and drive there, so obviously it comes with a bias.

and less safe across the board.

Incorrect. Montréal has a low collision frequency and low serious injury and fatal collision rate compared to most the country/contient.

Just For Laughs gags meets traffic engineering.

Raised crosswalks weren't too common in most burroughs of Montréal when I left, but alternative road surfaces for slower zones we're gaining popularity.

It's pretty easy to tell where they are. They're at intersections.
