TBF, I was watching a YouTube video yesterday where he mentionned that there's actually a decent used EV market now. We bought a used car ˜10 months ago, and EVs were out of the question with autotrader listings in Ontario starting at ˜$40K for any EV in good driving condition. Now you can find some all the way down to ˜$20K.

It's immensely unfair, but I'm not sure I'd call that a "double standard."
I'm no expert, Israel was accepted as a UN when they pledged to implement the partition plan. They've never followed through, so you could argue they lied to get in, but once they're in, it's difficult to expel/suspend a member.
It looks like it wasn't until decades later that Palestine sought UN membership. So it kind of makes sense to say the applicant needs to appease the existing members. You could also argue the partition plan was/is unfair, and many wars have been fought over it. I'm just not sure the situations are similar enough to be a "double standard."
I don't understand your question. Can you please explain it?
Maybe the answer is colonialism?
Just because there's a UN Resolution passed, doesn't mean everything that's proposed magically happens. Governments of all levels accept long-term plans, but then they need to do further actions to follow through on those plans (or in many cases, they don't do anything and those plans just stay as dreams and what-ifs).
Israel is a state because they've declared it and the UN has accepted Israel as a member, it's really that simple. If you want to know why Israel's statehood was accepted, that's very, very complicated and involves millennia of history. I certainly can't condense it here, maybe others could, but I doubt it. I honestly think Wikipedia's a pretty good source for the history of Israel, and I'd suggest starting the British Mandate and looking back if you need more context.
Note the word "Plan". You've provided a proposal, which has not been implemented.
Just because the software is open source doesn't means a product running it is going to be free. Heck, even some FOSS projects have financial contributors who get perks like software support, access to pre-released software, and input into feature development.
The recall affects 3,878 Cybertrucks, which cost roughly $61,000 (£48,320), made between November 2023 and April 2024.
This is a bit off topic, but the $61K RWD trim is "available in 2025", so the recalled vehicles are either the $80K AWD trim or $100K Cyberbeast trim.
I'm not sure that applies here (Google Maps link to where the picture was taken). The issue is vehicles changing lanes to get on to the expressway. They're often speeding up and just drift across the bike lane which makes this a really dangerous conflict point.
If I had to cross this overpass on bike, I think it might actually be safer to get on the sidewalk and cross the 2 driveways, then cross the on-ramp at ~90°.
What makes you think we're not? IRCC's ranking system has a preference for trades-people over unskilled labour.
That's basically what I envisioned as the centre-running bike lanes. However, the issue is how to transition on-to and off the median. And if the centre-running bike lanes extend further than the overpass, how do people get to destinations along the road?
I found in the replies, there was a proposal for a walking (potentially cycling too) bridge just south of here, but that was rejected by the province.
...still not a "double standard"
