You do know that the literal largest country on the planet (also very cold and snowy) is criss-crossed by rail and has excellent public transit in many cities? Most Moscow/St Petersburg dwellers I know don’t have/need/want a car, don’t even have a driver’s license, and some of them travel around the country regularly. There is also a growing number of bike lane networks in cities, especially in the south of the country (on comparable latitudes to GTA, BTW). If russia can pull it off so can you, stop falling for car propaganda.
If we had a decent high speed rail system and shotengai style downtowns…
But we don’t. I spent Christmas in Sapporo once, and it was cold, wet, blizzardy, and we were able to get everywhere without freezing.
If you’re honestly saying about that about Canada, fuck off. That’s just purely 100% not viable.

Political borders are absolutely irrelevant to your commute and you know it. Time to move next door to your job.
I just want to point out that it’s in the cities that are build the bicycle infras, not to cross a entire country.
But i have no idea how good or bad are those in Canada
1 in 5 Canadians live in the GTA. 1 in ten live in Montreal Area.
Ah yes, because of one statistic, the rest of Canada does not matter, right?
