Not sure its its just me but everyone looks so calm and collect, I would be loosing my mind or my stomach seeing this many body bags and loss of life, especially under the circumstance of what caused it.
Though personally I have never been in a situation like this, and have no idea how I would truly react in the end, for which I am grateful and simultaneously ashamed.
Don't forget emergency vehicles are also legally allowed to mount curbs and use sidewalks, pathways, or even trails, as well as use dedicated or separated bikelanes. (This is why people should not leave their cars parked on sidewalks or within bikelanes or trails)
I was imagining "into the future" though, where everyone has a device that meshes with like devices, creating a internet of connect devices to transport data over large distances. All decentralized, if one node goes down traffic routes a different way in the mesh.
Think Cellphone Towers for examples, but the idea is everyone would have their own device at home (or on them) that instead creates the mesh and simultaneously access the mesh.
Same, decentralized mesh networks would be the equivalent of a "federated internet". No one person owning the infrastructure.
If this were to become mainstream the mesh would become the "Internet", with enough nodes, pcs and servers.
And in the meantime where one mesh does not "connect" to another, traffic could be routed through the "old internet" by one or more exit nodes connected to the "old internet".
I don't agree with much that the Ford Government says in Ontario here, but bringing in a Chinese EV manufacturing plant into the province would a net positive.
Canada could become a clean energy powerhouse if it wanted TBH
