But she doesn't have more moderate views than the rest of her party. The article mentions several of her policy ideas that are as or more extreme than what the party line is.

I feel you on the radio aspect, I cycle through all my presets on my 25 minute commute because so many of them are just ads for 5 minutes. And for some reason my rural area has 4 classic rock stations but I can't find one that plays anything modern but pop and pop-country.

I took it to mean "it has increased to the point we can't deal with it all"

There are ways to do this in a walkable city.

If a grocery store is within walking distance why not make a trip of it with the whole family? Many hands make light work. Or, just because a city is human focused instead of car focused doesn't mean no cars at all (at least in the way I would implement it) you could rent a car for a few hours every couple of weeks.

Obviously these ideas won't work for everyone but they're just off the top of my head, and unfortunately there is no system that will work for everyone. We just have to try for works better.

Great to hear, that is actually a lot better than I would have expected. It would still be ideal if you could use it as easily as someone not using a wheelchair but we do have to live in the real world and accommodating everyone is complicated and expensive.

Absolutely it could be like that, mixed use buildings are something we really lack in North America and are the lifeblood of a city

Or, if we're changing cities already we could make more accessible homes and public transit. If someone in a wheelchair can't get onto a train you've made the train wrong.

If it exists I haven't found it

Completely unrelated but brussel sprouts have been bred to be less bitter than you're used too. Not terrible raw, but so good fried in butter.

You should take another look at what the CPC is focusing on. At their convention this month they voted on what to focus on as a party; two anti-trans policies passed the policy for affordable housing did not. Is the CPC as far right as the US Republican party, no they're not, but Poilievre is happy to court people who are. Also he won't answer non-vetted questions which is a different issue but still rubs me the wrong way.
