To be more fair, it should be way easier to use root on Android than it currently is, and it could be done without compromising security.

Like, I shouldn't have to dig through mountains of unofficial documentation from weird sources, only to the find that, whoopsie, this method doesn't work for your particular submodel of phone, you have to take this ultra-specific path that's prone to issues and may not work. Oh, and make sure you backup your entire device, because rooting will wipe it and now you have to spend your entire fucking day restoring everything.

Like, just give me the option to enable root access somewhere in the developer settings. It can even be an obscure (but simple) process like it is to enable developer settings in the first place by tapping "about" a dozen times or something. Put up a half dozen warnings explaining why it's "dangerous" for mortals to enable root for all I care, just make it work.

There's plenty of time for Polievre to shoot himself in the foot

His shoes are de facto crocs already and somehow enough people still think he's able to stand for them.

It just favours the most moderate party

I'm struggling to see the downside here.

The requirement or general use?

As far as I'm aware, other than BC now, only Quebec currently mandates winter tires. But they're fairly commonplace everywhere in Canada regardless.

On snow and ice, there is a profound difference in traction between winter and all season tires.

voluntary

Then what is even the point?

Totally agree that vehicles should be smaller in general.

Nobody needs a pickup outside of industry and agriculture. I don't give a shit about your once-a-year camping trip where you drag your second-mortgaged house-on-wheels to cosplay rugged living. Get a fucking a tent.

Nobody needs an SUV and the only reason they're "safer" because everything is so oversized now that it's just a matter of relativity to other vehicles.

Anything larger than a station wagon is simply excessive for 99% of drivers.

My car just has an aftermarket head unit with BT. I just map my route on my phone and set it in a cubby.

What materials could you possibly use other than rubber compounds?
