The lane was marked left turn only, so naturally Mr. Volvo went straight (opens the original)

The world is on high alert over the threat artificial intelligence poses to humanity. I prefer to focus my attention on humanity’s original threat to humanity – humanity. Nowhere are our self-destructive impulses more apparent than on the road. If AI truly wants to wreak havoc, then all it needs to do is study “humanity’s drivers” as they relentlessly find new ways to break the law and endanger others. I witnessed a new twist on the old “ego plus automobile times stupidity” equation last weekend
If we are going to have closer ties to Europe, can we adopt some of their driving habits and rules? (opens the original)

Prime Minister Mark Carney and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the upcoming release of Back to the Future IV: A More Perfect Union this week when Canada was officially invited to become the first-ever “associate member” of the European Union. After 50 years of being looked down upon and dismissed by Americans, we Canadians would return to our roots and henceforth be looked down upon and dismissed by Europeans.

Summer’s out. School’s in. For children, there is a sense of excitement. For adults, many of whom have not been in school for decades, there is an uneasy sense of not having done their homework. The end of summer reminds me of graduation. I passed my driver’s test at age 16 in late August in
The question on bike lanes shouldn’t be about constitutional rights but if they save lives (opens the original)

Sometimes you just have to let the stupid sink in. It’s the only way to cope. The stupidity is so strong and overwhelming you must surrender. You must let it soak you, the way you would if you were caught, without an umbrella, in a sudden August rainstorm. Such has been the case with the “Great Bike Lane Constitutional Debate of 2026.” It’s a tale of histrionics and misdirection. Our story begins in November 2024, when Doug Ford’s Conservatives passed the “Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act.
